I still plan to take photos of the whole house but those last few boxes are still lingering...
This is my $30 craigslist linen closet which is the bathroom the kids use.
Our "pantry" and storage room with our laundry which is between our master bedroom and the bathroom we use.
The armoire we had before and was toy storage in our last house. This time, its used for everyday dry goods and our appliances, bakeware and misc. I have almost sold this cabinet 2 times... never again. It's got way too many uses to every get rid of.
My solution for a "junk" drawer are these Dollar store colored bis ad some baskets. So everything you might find in a junk drawer is here. along with the kids art supplies and paper.
Beach. Not much else to say... we try to go at least weekly... but I make a point to look at it from our house everyday!
She's ready for school and so smart. She likes doing "homework" while her brother does his Kindergarten homework. She learned this in about 15 minutes.
The coffee bar project. Cabinet donated by my sister. Old oak bar cart type thing. It had glass panels in the doors.
About finished in a lovely yellow. Bright and cheery. Took 2 full coats plus some touch up.
The knobs were on a wood plank like hooks made by a sweet and dear friend. We didn't have any space for the adorable hooks so I thought the knobs would really make this special.
The panels are an extra piece of thin plywood with spray chalk board paint!
About 15 minutes dup the highway is a wonderful organic apple farm.
We picked and ate... the kids had some fun!
More beach...
Boyd's work is known for its agriculture. They host an annual pumpkin patch. I think we got some of the first ones... for FREE! I chose 2 white ones, Ohana got a wonderful perfect round one... and Rigel
chose one that weighs more than Canaan...
So there you have it...
that's what we've been doing lately...
Boyd's schedule is changing every 2 weeks while he is in training for 10 weeks. Not a fun thing to coordinate with kids and activities.
The kids are in Awana this year and thriving.
I'm in a mom group a lot like MOPS at a local church and starting to run again!
We miss our Colorado friends very much but we really do like it here and are excited for what's to come!
