*thank you…
to everyone who helped us with the yard sale! we had help carrying items from in the house to outside; pricing items; setting up the yard sale signs we got from somewhere like Super Cheap Signs; taking pictures; help with adding up people item’s and collecting the cash; help cleaning up; help carrying items to people trucks; and on and on and on!
*thank you to everyone who bought our stuff! we had two-days of complete chaos + complete success!
*thank you to our neighbors who were very very patient with the huge traffic jams in our neighborhood.
with everything said and done, we feel like we are one more big step closer to our move.

ode to duct tape.
my myla has a serious-new-fetish.
duct tape! No I don’t mean some BDSM duct tape sexual fantasy that you’d probably find viewers of https://www.fulltube.xxx/ and other adult sites, enjoy.
it all started when kiana’s friend tara started making & selling flower duct tape rings. myla ordered one from tara, and when she told me about it, i told myla, YOU should learn how to make them – that’s totally your kind of thing!
so. we asked tara to come over and give myla a duct-tape-flower-making lesson. soon after, i visited the local ‘hobby lobby’ + ‘target’ and bought a serious supply of duct tape to help myla get started…
and since then,

school’s out…
at 10:15am this morning.
my kids can’t wait for summer vacation! this will probably be the longest summer vacation they ever have – because, boston school districts don’t get out for summer vacation for a couple more weeks… then, when we usually start school here in utah around the third week of august – they are not going to be returning to school till the first or second week of september! that gives them a full three months to play! woooo-hoooooo! in my opinion, that’s how it should be!
and, in honor of the 2010-2011 school year coming to an end –
here is a long peek at a few of the activities/events my kiddos had at school &
.....
upcycled scooter.
we are a scooter-loving-family.
and, this spring kj has been cruising all-over the neighborhood on his sister myla’s hand-me-down razor scooter.
only problem: it’s pink.
each time i watched him cruise by on this barbie pink scooter, i would cringe.
mainly, because: he is not a pink-kind-of-guy. i bought him a pink shirt once, and he adamately refused to wear it. so, i’ve learned my lesson. this kid only wears “boy” colors. he won’t wear pink. purple. not even yellow! meaning: watching him ride this pink-licious scooter was killing me!
so, as we’ve been preparing for our yard sale, we decided we’d sell the pink scooter. and, even kj was ok with that decision regardless of how much he loved riding it!
.....
happy weekend!
kj’s baseball game {praying for sunshine!},
a saturday morning tennis tournament for moosey,
miss four has her annual dance recital {woot-woot!},
miss thirteen will be dancing, too!
and, more time to organize/pack for our future move…and play in-between!
