Hatley Robot Rain Boots

Although living in Southern California rarely calls for rain boots, I just couldn't help myself, I had to get JD these awesome robot rain boots. I found them at Hatley.com. They have so many cute styles for boys and girls and you can also find matching rain coats and umbrellas on their site. These boots usually run about $35 but they are currently on sale for $21!

JD's 1st Day Of School

Yesterday was JD's very first day of preschool! Hubby unfortunately could not get the day off, but Abu surprised JD and myself by showing up to accompany us. I can't thank my dad enough for the support. I have to admit it was a very emotional day, JD cried a little and I cried a lot. His preschool is wonderful and made this experience a little easier by keeping us updated and even sent us pictures of JD during reading time! When we picked him up he was so happy to see us and jumped into my arms. JD really loved his teachers and kissed and hugged them goodbye before leaving and said he wanted to come back to school “later”, so I guess that's a good sign!

He didn't like that I woke him up so early!

Our Nook

Our "awkward nook" is done, we actually finished it Labor Day weekend but I just didn't have a chance to post it. We decided to turn it into a wine & storage nook. I'm really loving how it turned out and I can't thank my hubby enough for helping me bring it all together!
