It’s hard to believe, though the dreary, misty, wet and gray day helps it feel a little more natural for “back to school”.

There was a thunder storm last night, and Nate said the weather was lamenting the start of school. But the girls were so excited this morning. Their little eyes so bright…

What am I going to do with myself today?

We got some fantastic lamps for the downstairs last night at Kasala’s Labor Day Sale.

It is absolutely amazing, the difference lighting can make in a room.

I’m really happy with what we found, even though they no longer carry the wood veneer lamps I mentioned yesterday. The table and floor lamp are very low profile, which works in the space nicely, and they give off a great atmospheric light.

To answer my earlier question, I’m going back to Home Depot to get more paint and light bulbs.

And I’m going to eat well today, dangit.
