<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> We have had SO much fun building lots of different train tracks....even Cooper our little "rat" got in on the fun. You know when you get those crazy moments in life when something hits you and you become softer and decide to enjoy what you have NOW rather than keep waiting until the later...well let's just say I have had a lot of those moments in the past month. The moments when you really enjoy being a mom and being able to stay home and play with your little crazies. I am so greatful to such a wonderful and hardworking husband who allows me to spend time at home creating and building beautiful bonds with our children...don't get me wrong there were days of complete crazy and not one toy being put away AT ALL...for some odd reason I don't take pictures of those days...probably because they are seared into my mind no matter what and a picture would re-establish it by giving me a visual of how bad it really is...who knows maybe one day I'll surprise you and put those kinds of pictures on...and then you'll die from the shock and horror and then I'll have that on my brain too...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> For now though we are just living life by the seat of our pants...It's nice to not always have a project to do and a task list to accomplish.

For now I am really enjoying the time that we have and trying to capture every moment and cherish it.

No it wasn't planned and no we didn't hate his old school infact we were quite in love with it...so why the change???</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That is a question I asked myself for about a week while making the decision.... our answer we had an amazing oppourtunity and we took it. I am ever so glad we did and haven't looked back once...so at our old school they didn't have back packs and so my son had an over the shoulder lunch box that I LOVED...but with taking back packs to school now it just wasn't going to cut it. Due to the change of schools we had to buy all new supplies and uniforms...can I just tell you how much I LOVE uniforms....ok so is it going to be a white...red...or blue shirt today??? and would you like blue or khaki pants to go with that??? It truly is this mothers dream come true...So when looking for a lunch box I didn't want to spend a ton...as I already had on everything else so I wen to Down East and found this AWESOME lunch box.....only my son's name isn't David. He did have a grandpa named David but that's another story for another day...So when I saw that David...the lunch box was only $3.00...it was a now brainer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Before I would even attempt to decorate I would look at two of my favorite blogs to see how they would do it.

It's supposed to be my house with my personality laced into it. It's time to take charge and do what I want to do...because that is me and that is what makes me happiest of all... I love revamping and creating new things and so here I am...........I AM BACK!!!!</span><br />
