They're Coming!

I'm probably over-excited about people coming to visit us this month.... but I just can't help it!

We've got a busy month which includes our first over night guests! Although my immediate family has been to our new house in Fort Worth, Will's haven't. He mentioned that they plan on coming in 2 weeks, which makes me super excited! I love when family visits, especially Will's grandfather. He is so sweet and means so much to Will; I just love it. 

Then, at the end of the month, some of my Midland County Texas Democratic Women are coming to stay the weekend! Since the Democratic State Convention is in Dallas this year, we're all staying at my house, EEK! I've been stressing over getting the guest rooms ready for them, hopefully we'll have the last one done soon.

I'm not the best decorator in town.....okay, I can't decorate at all but I'm trying! I really wanted to do a British theme in one room, but just can't seem to pull it together. Maybe one day, but as of now, it doesn't look like that will happen. Two out of our three guest rooms are almost done, just down to finishing touches.

My sweet friend, Brittany (you have to check out her blog!), is so good at welcoming guests; I strive to be like her in this area! She always has the cutest "welcome!" gifts or notes....I've got to come up with something clever.

How do you prepare for your guests? Do you do something special to make them feel extra welcomed?

Happy Tuesday, y'all. Will and I are both going out of town this weekend, so I won't be on here for a few days. Will's youngest sister, Kristen, is graduating from high school and my mom has her 30th dance recital! Busy, busy, busy.....

Four Legged Habits

Although, I may not have "real" kids, my four legged, slobbery, fur babies sure do seem like "real" kids. Now that I work from home, I've been able to see what they do all day..... and it's so interesting to see how habit like they are.

They wake up with me, each morning, and of course, go to the bathroom and take a nice 30 minute sun bath. My little Luna loves the sun, however her skin hates the sun. She goes outside white and freckled and comes back in red like a lobster! From about 8:30am till 10:30am it's naptime; hard life, right? 10:30am to about 11:45am it's playtime; toys are everywhere. Then of course, it's lunch time for all of us. Since the weather has been so wonderful recently, they've been spending 1pm to about 2pm outside in our backyard. I think it's safe to say, our backyard is a favorite hangout for all the Paynes :) Naptime comes again from 2pm to 4pm, then it's just whatever!

I'm sure it might be weird for me to post about this, but for someone as organized and schedule oriented as me, I find patterns and habits interesting; human or animal. Most of my friends have 2 legged kids, so I often hear about their schedules, and thought it was interesting that my 4 legged babies are the same way.

For your viewing pleasure :)

Cayley didn't want her picture taken, but I managed to get her in with Luna.
