Guess he's hungry to learn!!

Breaking Up is hard to do!!

I have a small(large to some people) addiction to stuff.  Books, décor, craft supplies, old cards, clothes, etc etc!!  I do throw stuff out but I guess not enough cause damn I have a lot of shit right now that I don't need.  It has got to go...like now!!

So we just bought a new house and my goal was to try and have a garage sale before moving but that was a big epic fail lol!!  Between watching 3 kids, cooking, cleaning and packing to move it was next to impossible to go through everything and organize it into a garage sale...so we moved it all to the new house last week and is currently taking up half the garage.  On the plus side I found out last week that the city wide garage sale is Oct 5th so that gives me a week to get ready for one...or not cause I just found out Paul is working the next 7 days straight so no go on the garage sale!  Goodwill here we come!

On the plus side of me saving some stuff, I do have my cabbage patch dolls and some barbies from when I was little(that would make them 25yrs old or so) for my kids to play with!!  But my pride and joy is my He-man and She-ra doll!  Not in perfect condition but they were my favorite cartoons and can't wait for Kaden to be old enough to play with them. 

Now just to say goodbye to the shit I don't really need and get the garage emptied out by the end of October...new goal is to be able to park both cars in the garage this winter! Fingers crossed and wish me luck!!

Home Sweet Home or as the kids call it...The Pool House!!

We bought a house...our very own Home Sweet Home!  So excited and a little nervous all mixed into one. 

Finally, after making an offer on July 5th, we closed Sept 12th!!  Buying a house is a long, drawn out process(at least for us) and I didn't like it one bit.  The reward at the end was however wonderful. We have a house, a room for each kid and bonus...it has a pool!!

The house is pretty much move in ready, rooms all painted(although not my favorite colors but livable), a brand new remodeled kitchen, a finished basement so Paul can finally put his pool table back up and a pool to boot!!  Living in Kansas though we only got to use the pool a couple of times before it started cooling down.  However this is Kansas and the weather has been pretty crazy in the midwest the last few years so who knows, we could be swimming in December!! 

Now that things have finally slowed down(its been a little busy for me lately), maybe I'll finally get caught up with my blogging!  Thanks for the support!!



 

First Day of Kindergarten

So I'm a few days behind posting this since Rylan started kindergarten last Thursday but I've been a little busy trying to keep Lilly happy and Kaden from crying.  Overall it all went good...

Last Wednesday was meet the teacher so we went up to the school and Rylan got to meet his teacher and see where his classroom was going to be.  He had his backpack that night full of all his supplies so he put all that away, found his backpack hook, then his spot to sit where he proceeded to sit down.  He thought he was going to school that night.  It was so cute, but we explained it was just to meet his teacher and we had to go home and get a good nights rest. 



Thursday morning came, we got up and took a bath, ate some breakfast and got dressed.  We let him pick his clothes for the day so not everything matched just perfect but he was happy and that's what mattered!!  We then all loaded up in the car to see him off to his first day.





Once we got there, he lead the way to his classroom.  Pretty smart kid for remembering the way after only one visit!  We walked in and he hung up his backpack and sat down.  He seemed a little nervous for just a split second then put a smile on his face for the camera. 

He's now gone for 4 days and seems to be adjusting to it pretty good.  He's in all day everyday kindergarten which from preschool is a huge difference.  Lilly seems to be having the harder time adjusting since they are so close in age.  She's not sure what to do without him around but preschool starts next week so hopefully that will help her.  As for Kaden, he's teething so not much I can do there.  Living the life of happy one minute, screaming the next children!!
