well. Well. WELL.

Okay then. It has been a month or two or more. Who knows anymore. Our household is finally back to complete, with Jared home and the chaos still in full effect...and has been for the past few weeks. I would be lieing if I said that somehow magically every day was perfect and easy but there are still bad days mixed in with the good and we have even already had a hurtle or two to get over. I suppose this is normal and to be expected but that doesn't always lessen the blows.

Other than the hiccups and crazy we have also in the last two weeks gotten into a really good routine, we have chores almost nailed down to where no one can complain about their responsibilities and this last weekend although hectic and insanely busy we did manage to get the house cleaned, chores completely done, our room redecorated and we even have a 15 year old who is all ready to schedule her permit test! I cannot believe it! Life has quite literally just been moving a million miles a minute!

All the boys are signed up for baseball and Carina is signed up for Softball. Alyssa continues to do dance (ballet and tap) and Laneya, well....we are still trying to figure out what exactly interests her, so for now she just makes it a hobby to boss around all the other kids. So far she is doing a fine job. Rian and Alyssa have both learned to ride a two wheeler and its pretty neat. I guess that's what happens when they have each other to feed off of as well as 4 other kids. No one wants to be left out so you either join the crowd or you don't. Needless to say, it worked out well and they are pretty encouraging towards one another for the most part.

I think really that is about all that has gone on that at least I can rack my brain about as I sit here at work (on my break) but if I think of anything else I will make sure to include it in pics! So for now. \

Enjoy!

Although I don't have before pics of the dresser when it was black or the tv without the frame or the bed even, the after pics speak for themselves. I repainted our dresser to go better with our awesome gray walls and then I came up with some sweet ideas for a TV frame and Headboard and the mister made my ideas come to life! I am sooo in love with our room. Now to go shopping for room décor!
