This is our home office, if you wanna call it that.
It's where I sit, when I get a chance, and blog.
It's where we do our bills.
It houses all of our records in the bottom filing cabinet drawer.
It has our printer to the right in that big pull down cabinet.
It's where I keep all of our note cards and birthday cards.
And, it's where I put the things that are inspiring me.
I also keep all of our markers, crayons, and colored pencils and paint brushes on top in the box my grandfather made so many years ago.
We picked up this computer desk/home office "one stop shop" at the Pottery Barn Outlet in North Georgia.
Centsational Girl is having a party at her place where you can see where everyone else does their blogging!

I also wanted to show you some pictures from our birthday party this weekend.
Our middle son turned 8, and we had a blast celebrating our boy who is filled with absolute JOY! I asked him what he wanted to do for his party, and he said he wanted a pool party. I was happy to give it to him because it's one of the easiest parties you can throw! We did pizza, cake and icecream. I had treatbags filled with every kind of candy and gum under the sun...cause kids love candy! And, I took pictures while the kids took turns doing their favorite jumps into the pool. I gotta tell ya...kids love it when you take pictures of them making a big splash in the water. They went back and forth from the pool to the playground at least 15 times, and I'm pretty sure I sent every one of them home ready for a good night's sleep!
Oh! I almost forgot. The kids' favorite thing in the treatbag was the pair of nasty teeth that I gave to each of them...we had to get a picture of the group with their teeth in...and it was a sight for sore eyes! They laughed and laughed and laughed at funny each of them looked!
love the little desk space~ we all need a place like that in our homes i think...
