The carpets went in today...

And the twins were bored, so I gave them each a paint brush, an old, "throw away" piece of furniture, and some leftover paint, and set them up in the back yard-they were occupied for hours, and they had some good old fashioned messy fun!

I've been a bad blogger...

But I have been so busy! My husband was offered a huge promotion in mid-April, which means a move for our family. And with a family of six, that is no easy task! And the other catch-we were right in the middle of remodeling our house! We basically had no kitchen in the house at the time...which of course would make our house almost impossible to sell. So, the last two months have been a mad flurry of hanging cabinets, getting appliances in, installing sink, faucet, and counters, backsplash, and lights. This is what it looks like now:

It makes me really proud to say we did it ourselves! We have also had multiple other projects in the works: painting the ceiling and posts of our back and front porches, installing a new front door and front and back storm doors, painting the front and back doors inside and out, having the bedrooms and trim in the whole house painted, and new carpet is being installed in the bedrooms today. It seems like the list is never ending! I can't wait to get it on the market and relax (well, as much as a mom of 4 kids can...).

Well, I didn't drop off the face of the Earth, but...

I haven't had the internet for most of the month... Dratted storms!! I will be back tomorrow to share a little bit of what I have been up to with no internet. Lots of news and fun stuff for my family!
