Racing Around

(A rocker at the cabin that I will sit down in NEXT week :)
ohhhhhh I am usually pretty good about down time, quiet time, taking time to reflect...
but this week I have been RACING around!  We are getting into the homework routine. These boys are good about it but ugh, I don't like having to push them as hard as I do. I am collecting good books - books for all three kids to enjoy. Merit is involved in a LEAP INTO BOOKS contest and is reading like crazy. I love this. 
We are having our house painted this week.
A fresh coat of paint will be a nice make-over.
Our house is so lived in and comfortable. I am excited for this new color and fresh coat.
Deciding on the color for the house, trim and front door was difficult.
But I think I have made the right decision. ? Vance left it up to me.
Tomorrow and Saturday I am part of a garage sale with a group of great women. I have been
pricing stuff for three days. ugh Today Hazel and I picked up tables and loaded totes and more totes of stuff!  WHY have I accumulated SO MUCH stuff?!
My good friend Kelly is watching Hazel tomorrow morning while
I work at the yard sale (thank you Kelly!) Hopefully we get
lots of customers before I have to go get Willem from kindergarten.
Saturday we will sell, sell, sell again and Merit has a soccer game.
Though this week has been busy, I have sure enjoyed some good visits with
dear friends. Friendships are such a blessing! Whether near or far.

The boys tubing away from Gramma Kris' place.
Merit, Wyatt and Willem
These three are imaginative, spunky and fun.

Next week I promise to do less racing around. :)

Some weeks are crazy. You are getting a lot accomplished though! Hope the garage sale goes well. Wish I was sitting in the rocker down by your cabin right about now!

And I wish so much that I could walk up to your garage sale! Thank you again Michele for the wonderful package of goodies!!! I almost want to tuck them away somewhere safe and gaze at them and cherish them. I have little treasures from you, Natasha, Lesha and Lane tucked away all around my house. What a perfect spot to sit in that cute rocker! The back of Vance's Mom's house reminds me of the house I lived in in Italy, so neat to see! Enjoy your weekend with your family! <3 kelly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OPJ!!!

THIS KID IS THE BEST!!! PRAYIING BLESSINGS OVER YOU OREN! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
