In my home this week


We got more great produce from relatives. 
The tomatoes are from my mother in law.
Bell peppers are from my dad- we will enjoy fajitas tonight and stuffed peppers tomorrow night 

My brother grew this whopper watermelon. It if was even a hair longer, it would not fit in our second apartment size fridge.
My shopping at our new Aldi this week. I got all this for $24 after a $5 grand opening coupon was subtracted. My husband liked the grapes so much and ate almost half of them the day I bought them. So I made another trip there and got 2 boxes more.  



My company, while their parents worked this week, were 2 sweet little grandsons. But not at the same time. 



I hope you all have had a good week. 

I changed the font here, any opinions on if it is better or worse?

And I plan to show more rooms in my home tour very soon.

Home Tour- play room 2nd stop

At the first of the summer,  this bedroom had toys and things in it, and a full size bed too.  That did not leave much floor space for playing so that bed is now gone and a love seat from the living room moved in here.
The love seat works much better for adults to sit on while they read books to the little ones or to just sit on while they watch the little ones play.
The quilt on the wall was one of my doll quilts when I was a little girl and was made by my great grandmother,  a real pioneer woman.
I made the paper banner that goes all around the room with paper I had.  The valance was originally from a thrift store and hung in our breakfast room for several years.
the view if you look in the door
Toddler kitchen (second hand gift to us from a family that had outgrown it)  It is Step 2 brand and very popular with my grands.
changing table- it gets used lots with 3 grands in diapers . I left the trashcan in the photo- there has to be a place to put all those diapers
 
this is where one grand daughter naps but she is in school all day now.  She napped here Sunday and had the triplet dolls lined up there.  My mom crocheted the baby dolls.  I made the patchwork shams a few years ago and I embroidered that wall hanging when I was in high school.  It looks really 70's I think.

this room has a big closet too but I usually keep a safety latch on it to keep the grands from getting out even more things.  It stores clothes, diapers, more toys and an airbed and a cot for over night guests.

Thanks for dropping by-
