Long time...no blog!

Wow! Been a while since I have checked in. My husband would think that is typical, because I always start things and never finish. I have great intentions, but my self-diagnosed ADD kicks in. I have done soooooo much around the house since I last posted. I hope to update with pictures soon.

Before home updates, how about a few vacation pictures. We went on a trip to New Braunsfels for some family fun. Our great friends the Fredericks went with us. Good times!

So, counting today, I have 14 days until I go back to school. Where did the summer go? I have changed positions, so most of July has been spent working in my new classroom. The outgoing teacher left a lot of treasures, so it took a while to go through her things and organize with my things. It is getting there, still have a bit more to do to be "ready".

My baby girl will be in first grade this year. She is just growing so fast. She is really understanding so much about this big world, and asks a lot of questions. She really listens to hubby and my conversations. At times, well, a lot of the time, I have to remind her that she is only 6 and NOT THE Momma!

Longer post soon with updated house pictures!

Summertime!

I have been so busy! I know that is a common sentence to come from my mouth...but it is true!

My creative bug has been huge! I have had to sop myself this week, so I can study for my national board teacher test this Saturday.

I finally painted baby boy's room. No, he is not a baby, but he is my baby! We moved into our house 2 years ago, and his was the only room that I haven't touched yet! He didn't mind. Sadly it still had the baby looney tunes wallpaper up. Here are pictures of the transformation! He is very pleased! The blue and green paint is a little off in the pictures. It is not quite so neon in person.

The kids enjoyed watching me! Everytime I would do something new Reagan would come in and say, "awwww, mom! I love it!" Cute kid!

I have some other projects I completed and others I want to do, but they will all have to wait until after my test on Saturday.

So, for now - I'm trying to keep the kids occupied while filling my brain with so much knowledge about literacy. If you are bored on Saturday morning, and need something to think about...send some prayers my way for knowledge and clear thinking!

Until next time...

Summertime!

Well, today is offically my first day of summer vacation! I love being a teacher! This offically marks my 10th year of teaching! Wow! Time sure flies!

I've been absent from my blog for a while, but with a good reason. The last week of school was busy between my school and Chloe's kindergarten year. Then this past Saturday, Cody and I packed up and headed to Canton, TX for the trade days. Found some good stuff to spruce up my home. I'll take a picture in a bit and also include pics of the front room remodel. The room is finished hardware wise, but now I get the fun of decorating the walls! Yeah! That is the fun part!

For now, I'm trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning my dirty house. The kids are in the front yard splashing in the baby pool with neighbors. Summer is here!

The Beginning

I have been a blog reader for years...and lately I have really been enjoying blogs about decorating the home in a thrifty and creative way. I have made it my mission to spruce up our home this summer. I have saved several pictures and ideas I hope to incorporate. The biggest change will be our dining room, which will no longer be a dining room, but a family office. More details to come.
