ImaginOn

Two weeks ago we took the children to ImaginOn for the first time. This is such a cool place to take children of all ages and for the most part it is FREE. We were able to celebrate all of the TV news mascots and the Nascar mascot Lug Nut. Our children really enjoyed Lug Nut at the race track so, we knew they would enjoy getting a close up with him.

After partying with the mascots we went to their children's library where Lilly signed up for her first library card. She was so excited to get her own books and CD what a big girly she is. Then we played on the computers and we toured the museum.

Charlotte activities

Friends if you are in for some fun you should come uptown tomorrow morning with your little ones. Brian and I are always up for some good FREE fun with the children. Tomorrow ImaginOn will be hosting the Charlotte Symphony Guild Musical Petting zoo from 10:30-12:30. Your children will be able to play with their real instruments used in the symphony. There is free parking in the parking deck beside of ImaginOn. Then only 7 minutes from ImaginOn at the Mint Museum they are hosting "Funky Junk" from 10:30-1:30. Your child will be able to create a piece of art out of junk.
Hopefully we will see some of our good friends uptown tomorrow morning/afternoon. I will post pictures of our fun activities this weekend.

We signed the line

Yes, we have finally signed our contract on our new house to be built. Brian and I are so glad and we are counting down the weeks until we get to go to closing 21 weeks exactly from this Friday. After our last home being our HUGE project home we are excited to have something new.
I have been spending many hours already looking at fabrics for window treatments and paint colors for the walls. I know what style I like very modern with an artsy twist. We are saving our pennys to buy some new furniture since we haven't had anything new in almost 13 years. Our kitchen table is going to be replaced with a fun glass top table that we already picked out at a really fun new furniture shop here in the city. Plus we are going to purchase a couple of chairs for our living room since we only have our Pottery Barn red sofa right now. (We are in need of seating for our company)
So, for all of my friends out there I need your help send me some of your advice on some really fun modern paint colors. I really want something different but classy. I am tired of the khaki, beige walls that you typically see in a new home. This is when I wish that I had Juli's sister who is an interior designer (or something like that).
I will try and post some pics of our land tomorrow so you can at least get a glimpse of our lot. Don't forget to leave your comments on colors!
