Hey there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s crazy that we are six months into this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we are, more than a month after selling our car, still in a loaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, we were driving home when we saw a Sheriff pull up and stop traffic. Someone was taking the curve too quickly and came into oncoming traffic. If we had been just a few seconds earlier… who knows what would have happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day we went to Church. Luca however was not wanting to go to Sunday school. He clung to his mama and refused to let go. She spent a good 20 minutes trying to convince him but to no end. He stayed with us and we missed everything that happened. We ended up having to leave the main area because he was being too loud and wouldn’t quiet down. At least the other kids seem to enjoy going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, I took a trip down the stairs. My arm took the brunt of it. Scraping up against the wall and some items we had up before plunging into the stairs. I didn’t go the whole distance, but it wasn’t fun. I don’t recommend that trip for anyone. This is why we tell our kids not to leave everything on the stairs. I was bringing down trash and recycling to our outside bins when that happened. Ah well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm.. minor news? I have been spending some time painting around the house. Above is a before and after photo. If you zoomed in you would see that there is marker and all the other stuff that the kids had left on the door. So after cleaning it and scrubbing we painted over and it looks a lot better now. Not sure how long it will last, but I’ll take the win, even if it is only shortly lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of painting… we were able to completely remove the deck from the backyard and needed to paint the new boards that my dad cut and put up for us. (shot out to him!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a few weeks after looking at the yellow I decided it would just be best to get the painting done. I took Arabella outside with me and we painted it down. It is nice to have it match the rest of the house now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm.. so what else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started going to a new dentist, because the old one made all our our mouths hurt for a few months, doing things that shouldn’t hurt. Above is a photo of Lijah who just finished his turn and was excited about his new toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also went to Costco. The kids were begging to eat at Costco, so we stopped to get hot dogs. The two older ones were fighting with each other the entire time. Frustrating. Especially when people were staring at us because Elijah sounded like he was dying when he screamed. It doesn’t matter how much we talk to them about this, they keep on doing it anyway. Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA man screaming is not a dancing bear. Life is not a spectacle.\u201d
