Jared's room

We have been busy around our house!!! Jared has moved to Jessica's old room; Jessica and Kayleigh are sharing Jared's old room; Kayleigh's old room has been converted to a play room. We have been painting up a storm, and having fun changing rooms/furniture around. Jared's room was the first one completely done! He wanted a light blue room (it used to be hot pink) with clouds painted on the wall!!!

(Matthew painted the cloudsabove his bed)

(2 new shelves that I bought from a YW garage sale this summer)

(Jared has been ready a lot of Farside books lately, so we decided to turn one of his walls into a farside wall using posters Matthew had when he was growing up)

(I made this counted cross stitch when I was a teenager.....I had forgotten about it.....I just happened to find it a few days before painting Jared's room....timing is everything!!! It looks like it belongs in the room!!!)

......now on with the rest of the projects!!!!!

First day of school!

OFF TO SCHOOL AGAIN.....but not before mom gets some pictures!!!

Jessica is a sophomore in High School this year

Jared is a 5th grader....that means middle school....he was a little nervous, to say the least!!!

Kayleigh is in 2nd grade....there are some adjustments this year, as she has been with the same teacher and the same class of kids since kindergarten!!!

Denfeld's came to walk to school with us!

Jared was happy to see his buddy, Austin, at the front of the school!

Kayleigh was first in line....she got to hold Mrs. Klavano's sign!!!

And, that leaves me...I miss my kids when I send them off to school....so I have to have my plan to keep busy!!!.....I am getting back into my walking in the mornings, and trying to get things done on my list of to-do....we have been changing kids bedrooms....so, i will be painting, sewing curtains, etc. in addition to good ol' laundry, cleaning the house, etc!!!

Another Post at last!!!

OK....so, I have been out of the blogging world for a while....actually, looking at my last post, it has been a year!!!....life has gotten busy, I just have not found the time to sit and blog....the longer I don't blog, the further behind I feel, and the more there is to catch up....I have decided if I feel like I need to blog for lost time, I may never return to the blogging world.....so, I will start with where we are at now, and perhaps recap as time goes on....if not, then I will be ok with that!!!----so, that is my re-commitment!!!
