Over the summer Taylor got it in her head that she really needed a desk in order to start first grade. She is anticipating (and very hopeful) that she will have homework and she really wanted to be able to do her homework at her desk. Dave and I pretty much ignored the request every time it was asked (we were actually thinking what a great Christmas gift it would make) until we had a garage sale this past weekend with some friends from the neighborhood.
Our friends had brought a desk to sell that was used by their daughter as her first desk and has since out grown it. Taylor took one look at and simply had to have it! And being the great parents that we are....we took it, for $5! I couldn't resist taking her picture today. She was so excited about her new desk and I love that she has no idea that quite frankly, the desk is a piece of crud! It made me smile. All day long.
Ta Da! (We tried to convince her we should paint it white to match everything else in her room- but she just couldn't wait to get it in her room!)
So Proud! Let's hope she is this excited to do homework at it!
I came back into her room later on in the day to see that she had acquired a new lamp from her Grandma's house and had placed some special items on top to decorate. Love it!
Happy New Week everyone! It's a big one in our house! Back to work and daycare tomorrow for everyone and of course new beginnings for Taylor in first grade and Maddie at a new preschool! I'll be back as soon as I can come up for some fresh air!
