August in Review

Good-bye August, hello September. I am so happy it is September....I've already blogged about why I love September two years ago but I have a few more to add. We are officially taking our house off the market in a few days, YES!! We have been waiting for this day for 5 months now. No, we didn't sell our house but so sick of keeping the house in perfect condition and having to leave all the time for showings. I cleaned out my drawer last week and threw away 65 realtor cards and we estimate we had between 90 - 100 showings in the 5 months our house was on the market. We got a few offers but nothing even close to considering. We don't have to move, we would like to, but we are happy here and not going to give our house away at Foreclosure price. Another reason I am so happy it is finally September because in 1 month my little girl will be the big 1!!! I am so excited for her to reach this milestone. So enough about September, let's go back to August....

My kids are obsessed with tools...
Kylee's favorite toy is a hammer,

and Drew's favorite toy for the time being is a screw driver.

Kylee fell asleep with it in her hand while we were at the mall!


I found Drew sleeping on the rocking chair one day during his nap. He did it again today. I don't think it is very comfortable, but I guess he thinks so.

I bought this new water toy and the kids loved it. Too bad it gave Kylee swimmers ear.



One day we pulled out the Fish Game and had a fun time playing it.

Concentrating really hard...


Yay! He caught one.


Kylee loved eating them.






So, August came and went and I am hoping I can be better at blogging in September. I can't wait to get back to my routines during the week and that should definitely help! Oh, and I finally got Ryan to download his phone pics to the computer so I will post those in a few days. I already posted enough for tonight.

I can't believe Kylee is almost one already! Time sure does fly!

I'm with you one the house cleaning. I got to the point where we don't leave anymore and if my kids are taking naps then too bad, they can't go in those rooms. It's annoying and I'm glad for you that you won't have to worry about that anymore!
