This is EXCITING!

Day 68 - Seriously I can not believe that I moved out of our home this long ago and been living well the life we have been for almost 70 days?!?!

Life is Exciting…

So today, the morning began with sheet rockers - our home is being sheet rocked! It is really looking like a home and it is large! Yes, still surreal that this is all happening and I will be living in this monster of a house very soon. In the midst of picking colors, appliances, faucets ect…I missed the line of picking who is going to clean this house? HMMM…

 After sheetrock...

Staircase...before sheetrock.

“Wake up Boys, you need to get ready for school,” came next! New teachers, new schools, new district, new town, new friends and the best part is two boys who both had successful days! WOOHOO! Can’t ask for more than that! (OK I will say that we are all thinking about out Tumwater and Oly friends and teachers who are starting tomorrow that we so dearly miss...please come visit us at the lake when you can...)
The sign...Pinterest quality right....having a little grace with myself lately!!

Back to the house, Toby installed insulation in the garage so it would be ready for the sheet rock and then we headed to the cabinet store in Chehalis. Looking forward to confirming all the details tomorrow and have the order put in to have them start making the much awaited for cabinets. Another WOOHOO!!!!
Hard at work...

So does it get much more exciting than this…well actually, boys are off at baseball practice - FALL BALL! Love it, can’t wait for games to start! Toby is off at a Fantasy Football Draft. Again, looking forward to games to start! Addy and I well, yes..she is napping and I am taking a moment to take it all in as I type this well and doing laundry! Clean clothes…yes that deserves a WOOHOO!

The Sweetest Sound...

Image
It is summer vacation…my five and seven year old have learned that it is ok to sleep past 7 am…I am enjoying a cup of coffee and getting laundry folded before the rush of the day begins. Then, I hear the sound of my seven year olds bed as he wakens… (I keep thinking I am going to add a few more screws to his bed so it quits making this sound, but now am kind of use to it and think it might be nice as he gets older – there will be no sneaking out of his bed.)   I kept waiting to hear his pitter patter down the stairs and in search of me…so I can hear the normal morning requests, “Can I watch TV? and/or Can I play Wii with you?” Not this morning…instead I hear him moving around upstairs and not coming down. I finish the laundry and decide I will go check on him. Earlier in the morning, I had been on the phone with my DH(Dear Husband) and he had asked me to set some tape and wrapping paper out for them, I thought I could do this after they woke up…cuz after all in my mind I thought ...

Have a Little Faith...

Need a good book to read? I finished one this summer that I truly enjoyed by the author, Mitch Albom, who also wrote, “Tuesdays with Morie.” I picked it up at my parents’ house…thank you to my sister-n-law, who does not even know that I have it, for letting me borrow it. I am really enjoying it. Probably a good book to read at this phase of my life.   It is not often that I want to highlight a book as I read it..this is one that I am jotting down all of my favorite phrases as I read…here are a few… Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe. Mom, you're not listening with your eyes. Jesus -  He lifts me up. He rearranges me.  He repositions me.  By myself, I’m no good… But he makes all the difference. That kind of love - the kind you realize you already have by the life you created together, that’s the kind that lasts.  Because the word commitment has lost its meaning.  I’m old enough to remember w...

"Kick a Bug Juice"

A while back I was tackling that uncontrollable pile of magazines that always acculmulates in my house. I came across a recipe for "kick a bug" juice. I hung it on the cupboard and thought I would use it the next time I was sick. Well, about six months later...I have a head cold that is just lingering on. Mom of two little ones being a the slightest bit sick is no fun at all. So I threw together the "kick the bug" juice. I just so happend to have all the ingredients on hand. I am not sure if it is the mixture that is kicking the bug or the thought of actually drinking this concoction that makes one think themself better. Nonetheless I am giving it a try and will definately report back on how I think it works. The recipe comes from Carolinas Natural Health Center. Kick-a-Bug Juice Indications : Sore throat or any inflammation or infection in the throat and neck ear infections nasal or sinus congestion This potent juice will amp your immune system and get y...
