Where is this summer going? It's July already and I am just now posting
about June. I've already posted about our vacation to the Outer Banks. Here is a little more of what we've been up to:
Dining Room Furniture Delivered:
We finally made a decision on dining room furniture and it was delivered. Tyler, of course, ran to get his screw driver so he could help the guys set it up. I wish I had gotten a picture of that. They were so kind to be patient and let him "help out".
The set we ordered was from Macy's. I had a specific idea in my mind of what I wanted and it was surprisingly hard to find. The side chairs are
Pottery Barn Napa side chairs. I just ordered the slip covers for them (I waited for a "free shipping" event). It saved me almost $30 AND they were on sale $10 off each. Woo-hoo for saving $90!

We still have a ways to go in this room but I want to take my time and find things I love. Next up is sewing the curtains from the bolt of fabric that is leaning up against the wall in photo #1.
Tall Ships Picnic:
We had a play date at Thomas Point State Park to watch the tall ships come up the bay for the "
Star-Spangled Sailabration". Tyler had a lot of fun playing with his friends.
Ocean City Vacation with Gramma and Grampa:
We took another beach vacation this time to Ocean City, MD.

I wanted chairs that did not have cushions so that I could be comfortable entertaining Tyler and all his friends for meals and crafts and not have to worry about spills, whether it's spaghetti or paint. I was surprised at how difficult that was to find. But low and behold, here she is:
