Whew!

Here is the last part of July and the first part of August...it's been a little crazy here.  We were in Ft. Wayne for a week while Mike painted the house and got the AC fixed, then it was the week before school started and I had to get my room ready.  I went with Reid on Monday, Reid on Tuesday, Evan and Reid on Wednesday, alone on Thursday, and then with Reid and my Mom on Friday.  Supermom right here - I can't believe I got my room ready 3 hours at a time and had "helpers" with me the majority of the time.  School started for me this week - we moved to a brand new building!  It's pretty fancy, I must say, and all of my kids seem pretty nice after 3 days.  No complaints here. Reid started at the baby sitter's too - he's been an angel for Miss Corie.  Yay! 

I've put a caption under the pictures - I don't have any "befores" of the rooms, but if you've followed the blog long enough, you'll see a difference. The biggest difference is the kitchen - we went from "falling leaves" orange to "Americana" blue. I love it. It makes the floor, cabinets and table look great!

Our family room looking into the kitchen....

Our living/dining room - it used to be a caramel color...it's gray now - the picture doesn't do it justice.

Papa came for a sleepover!

Mimi came to help me in my room and play with the boys

Ti and Reid

Sweet Reid in his 3 month picture - he's 15 pounds now - almost double his birth weight!  I got smart and put Snoopy in the picture - he was about Snoopy's size when he was born.

Evan walking with tension rods for curtains - they're his walking sticks to he can walk like Papa (that just had a knee replacement) with a hurt (read: skinned) knee.

Reid's not too happy here

Evan and Reid and their Snoopys.

Kitchen sink tubby time!

Evan was the tubby supervisor!
