back from a bloggy break...

I took a much needed bloggy break in July. I'm back and have lots to share. July for the most part was very low key. We spent a lot of time at home. I was able to finish up a few projects and just have fun with my littles. We did manage to have some friends pay us a visit and even went to swim a few times. Wayne and I were given an amazing opportunity to pay off some debt quickly. The catch, we have to pay 50% of it over two payments, spanning two months. This was welcomed news but also called for huge sacrifice. Lots of penny pinching going on up in here. =) We also sold all of our bedroom furniture! I know you are thinking how crazy we are. And you would think we are crazy, especially if you saw what our master looks like right now. No lie, our bathroom looked like hoarders for about two weeks. All is clean and well now, so no need to call up the show. Oh and you know how I said, " I completed some projects."? Well I am into repainting old furniture, one of my new hobby's. I was very pleased with how my first piece turned out and plan on filling up our bedroom with old thrifted furniture soon.During all of the painting, saving, playing, we celebrated Waynes birthday. It was a family affair with a small gift and home-made cake. Happy #27, it was! In other news, my sister moved to NC this past weekend. She will be missed by me but mostly by my children. I'm so excited for her new adventure and can't wait to go visit. We are thinking of taking the train! How fun would that be?!?! I'm also gearing up for our 1st year homeschooling. I'm getting super excited and went to a homeschooling event just last week. I was a little overwhelmed but gained a lot of great information and finally chose a covering! Please pray for Owen, Emily, myself as the time draws near. Wow, that was like a buffet of a blog, a little bit of everything. In case you have missed seeing my adorable littles here are some pictures of them via my IPhone. Enjoy =)

OH molly!
