October house party

ummmm. can someone tell September it was way too short & it kinda freaked me out when my 5 year old came into our room this morning announcing "it's OCTOBER!!!" {yeh, she's kinda obsessed with the calendar... girl always knows what day it is better than I do}. It's not that I don't love this time of year, but how fast time's been slipping by lately has my head spinning! Oh well, I guess time flies when you're having fun & are busy, so I'll stop complaining :)

The great thing about the start of a new month?  A new house party at DHD!

here are my contributions...

September House Party

I'm a few days late on this post, but thought I'd let you know about what's going on for the September House Party... I personally picked the palette for the party this month {wow, that's lots of P's}.

did I mention that we now have all 3 of our kids in school all day? {well, if it would stop being so hot... they've been having early outs because of the heat since they started}.  It's a bit of a shock, a bit of a relief, but I'm definitely looking forward to their usual routine & my new routine {once I get into the groove}.  How cute are they, though in their school uniforms?  Collin is now in 8th grade, Evan in 5th grade & Lydia is in Kindergarten. She's been the easiest transition into school so far {besides the tired crankiness I knew would happen for the first few weeks after the full days}.  She loves her teacher & keeping her busy is a very good thing.  The boys seem to have transitioned well this year, too & hoping this is a good sign of how the year will progress {fingers crossed}.  I hope your kids are off to a smooth start too.

I know it's only Wednesday... but there are two new fun & exciting things happening starting today at DHD! We're starting our popular August Dollar Days & the August House Party kits are up in the shop too!  For August dollar days, there will be new dollar kits in the shop every.single.day this month! If you're not familiar with the House Party... it's a build your own collab with coordinating kits from the designers at the house. 

here is my first dollar days kit... the colors inspired from a dress I bought my daughter at Target

July House Party @DHD

sorry, folks, I'm late to the party... mostly because we've been doing lots of fun stuff this last week & we had a big party of our own yesterday, celebrating our middle kid's 10th birthday. I'm hoping to post highlights from that later today, but first, I thought I'd better show you what I contributed to the DHD House Party.

I had to scrap this photo of Lydia at her swimming lessons last week. Although it's not that great... it definitely was a great memory!  This girl took several jumps off the low dive with & without a life jacket, a few jumps off the high dive to her teacher waiting at the bottom & went down the water slides for the first time by herself.  She's getting big enough & strong enough to swim herself to the places she needs to be & is so very determined. Of course, she still needs help every now & then when those little arms & legs get tired, but she has come so far.  She is definitely my fearless one. Collin & Evan amazed me as well this week with flips off the high dives.  So much fun to watch them!  Both of them were told by their teachers they are great swimmers & Collin almost beat his teacher racing across the pool.  Collin was also doing some work to retrieve bricks from the bottom of the pool & trying to save the dummy.

What a great week to be at swimming lessons. It was a nice hot week & the kids always love spending every day at the pool {I didn't mind it either}

I'll be back again later... today's going to be a multiple post day ;)
