Summer Break...HUH?

Can you believe it is already July? Our summer break is half way over. :( It has gone by so fast but we've been having so much fun! I have really enjoyed the kids being home with me. Not to say that there hasn't been some trying times because let's face it....they are kids and they are not always going to get along or obey, but overall I've loved them being here. I have loved not having to be somewhere at a specific time or running here and there everywhere everyday. You get the picture. It's been nice!

Thankfully we live in a neighborhood that has a humongous pool so we have spent a lot of our days there. The kids are getting so brown and getting a great base tan for when we go to the beach in a few weeks. We are soo ready too!!

Speaking of getting a tan, I ran across THIS article a week or so ago and thought it was interesting. Wondering if any of you have any thoughts on it?? Let me know!!

David took a few days off and decided that we should paint the kids rooms....HAHA! For two and a half days, I was marked in Harmonious Rose and Baritone Blue. The rose turned out to be more like peptobismal pink but I love it! It's so girly and it almost glows! We still have some decorating to do in both rooms...it's coming along.





I like the color of the boys room but I wasn't so happy with the paint job because I'm a perfectionist and I felt like it could have been done better. But my sweet husband reminded me that we don't live in a perfect house or live a perfect life and our paint job doesn't have to be perfect and it doesn't mean that I'm less worthy of a person or that I can't do things "perfectly" like other people. I know I'm not perfect, far from it, but I strive to do things right because I hate doing something half way or just doing enough to get by. Things were done like that as I grew up and I hated it. I was really down on myself about this can't you tell? I'm just so thankful for him and for his encouragement! I love it when he shares his little nuggets with me! :)

We had a great 4th of July weekend and even shot off some fireworks. Pudgie didn't like them too much but that's ok. He will one day!

He tried something new the other day....freshly shucked sweet corn on the cob....seems as though he likes it!!











We've got some interesting changes coming our way in the next few weeks and even though I don't handle change very well, I'm excited to see what God will do through these new changes. We have to remember to keep our eyes on Jesus and trust His will for our lives!
