I'm at the office today. My wireless mouse stopped working for some reason. I changed out the battery and it still doesn't work. I dropped way too many F bombs before 9am. FWP, I'm aware.

Morning from the office. I'm trying to be present here more often but I like being able to work from hom.
I need ideas - S has a party next week for twins - I asked the mom what they are into and she said crafts and music. I'd like to get them 2 separate gifts. price either $15- 25 each or $30-50 each (I might go in on something with his BFF). The twins are boy/girl twins.

At the office with Cadence. She didn't get her shit done yesterday, but I brought her anyway. Got up early and took my car in, so I'm in mh's car. I hate it. Hopefully my car is a CHEAP and easy fix and it will be done by the end of the day, but I haven't heard anything yet.

tgrimes, Ugh! I hope this cycle doesn't keep going like it has before. Poor kid. lahdeedah, I'm jealous. Lately I have been fantasizing about having the bed to myself. It's been a long time since DH or I traveled for work and that is my prime star fishing time. Not too much going on here this morning. It's blazing hot again but I was able to get out early for a walk with my neighbor and the bike to school wasn't too bad. C has baseball practice at 5 so I am hoping it cools a bit by then. Our allergies are bad again and I have a headache that won't quit. C asked if he would ever stop sniffling since it's been bad off and on since March. I have no idea but hopefully they ease up a little.

lahdeedah those are cute - I found the website and they have cute summer themed ones. That might be a winner, but I'm gonna keep looking just in case.

FIL decided to show M his coin collection. M is on cloud nine. He may or may not have given him the code to the thing that houses them. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ He is staking his claim to it in his inheritance.😂

Thanks tgrimes. These are cute! S is so not a crafty kid that I never really know what to buy. Now if you want to talk Pokemon, beyblades, legos, or minecraft, I'm your gal

I was originally thinking a tie dye kit like this or something. But I really wanted to do 2 separate gifts b/c I am sure they get a lot of shared things.

My suggestion for the craft was a tie dye kit. I'd want to do 2 gifts as well. Unless they have a Switch or something and can get a game for them?

Cant you do this and a small thing for each kid? Because that does look like fun! Do they have a favourite animal? The schleich ones a always a hit, we just got a unicorn for dd1! Eta dd1… not 2 🤦🏼♀️ I did not buy a 6mo a plastic unicorn 😂.

jewels, Josie likes the diamond art kits and the Pom Pom ones that you poke. I just bought the tulip tie-dye kit for the summer with some white socks and T-shirts.

What are everybody's thoughts on accent walls? The tallest wall in our house (slanted line ceiling and has a fireplace) had some work done on it today and it needs to be repainted. The room is a light gray from Benjamin Moore. I was thinking of doing a darker version of it. Something like this color palette: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210608/eccd5001937622403682ff9f3ef7dd13.jpg) Or maybe something more dramatic like this: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210608/9565e385b2d2344de9dbcd400da807da.jpg) The second one is the closest to the color palette that we have currently in the living room – lots of deeper turquoise accents and darker wood beams.

My suggestion for the craft was a tie dye kit. I'd want to do 2 gifts as well. Unless they have a Switch or something and can get a game for them? they don't, and I know their mom is not too into video games. She's more a "go run around in the backyard and don't come back in till dinnertime" kind of mom. The tie dye kit seems like it would be silly to do 2 of. Those bead craft things that tgrimes posted looked cool, and inexpensive. Maybe I get them each one of their own of those and then a tie dye kit to share? Hmm... Edit - or what nam2013 suggested in the very next post lol

guster I really like the second one. The pop of color is nice but not too over the top. The gray was too dark for me in the first.

I don't like that gray either, but I was trying to figure out what the contrast might be. Our light gray is also not a true gray it has some of the more gray/beige color. Not as deep as a revere pewter but pretty close.

guster I’m all about the whites for walls, but my house is riddled with teal/blue/duck egg accents. The grey is to dark imo.
