Summer Fun !

Its been nearly a month and no new post, which is lame because if I have time to post about the Jazz I should have time to post about our family! No excuses really except that we had pink eye in our house for three weeks. Stupid pink eye!!!

Summer has been a lot of fun, the kids are so dang fun to have around all day. I remember when my kids were home all the time and I'd read posts about parents with kids already in school being so exciting about the summertime, I'd think what the heck why would they want summertime when they could have their kids in school and have time to themselves! Now that the kids are somewhat getting older, I get it. Its much easier (for me at least) with this age than when they were babies and even toddlers. I mean they were super cute and fun but it was A LOT of work. Now they play on their own, they have friends and each other, I don't have to worry about naps, I don't have to worry about a lot of things that I did when they were younger. So its great to have their cute selves home entertaining me with their funny words during the day.

Lou has done sooo much on our house. The floors are finished, the bedrooms, living room and hallway is painted. Its looking nice, we don't have doors or the baseboard done yet, which is alright. We will in a few weeks. We just need a break financially after buying so much in the last month with finishing the floors and paint. We promised ourselves we would not get in debt for this remodel and we haven't even if it means a break here or there.

Lou and I actually are sleeping in our bed after 10 months of me on a cot and him on the floor. We are in our room even though that's the only furniture in there for now. We don't want more because then we'd have to move it when Lou finished the wood work and the doors and closet. (I know that sounds like a lot but its really not considering where we were just a few months ago) I told Leann how its funny that we've been married for almost 11 years and it was like all new and exciting sharing a bed again (not in a way that I wouldn't discuss on here!)

The kids are in their own rooms again (downstairs) and they love it after 10 months of sharing. Kira spends so much time reading and playing Legos cause she has her own space, she thinks its the best thing ever.  Its funny you know since she's had her own room her whole life besides those 10 months.

I found this and I think I will get it for Kira's room for our Pooh Bear and Star War's loving girl! It fits her fun personality, her personality that is just the greatest.

Its hard to believe its half-way through June hopefully it slows down because so far this summer has been fantastical!
