a tour of the inside

-
 #1 in this post: excuse the mess. 
I probably should have cleaned before taking pictures, but I wanted to get pictures up online.

our "laundry room" is really a hallway between the garage and house where our washer and dryer fit.

my kitchen; these cupboards are so deep and useful! And I have a dishwasher!

my cute little breakfast nook!! The boys & I eat breakfast & snacks there most days.

cool pantry cupboard - super deep, too.

closet with water softener

living room - has big windows! The boys like to watch the trains across the park outside.


our computer sits in an open area, not really a room.

our corn/pellet stove. I'm excited to use this in the winter.

my sister is right, in this picture, the walls are hideous. They are really a sunny yellow. 

the sweet craft/game closet! So useful and great shelving! My sewing machine even has a home!

boys' bathroom/main bathroom

another picture so you can see the pretty blue

toy room/third bedroom

awesome built in shelving that fits their movies perfectly

coolest ceiling fan ever!

toy room closet

hallway closet/coat closet without coats hanging yet

our awesome closets! They are huge! The doors slide so there are two halves you can't even see!

both bedrooms have these awesome nooks for dressers.

master bedroom; I want to paint navy accents so the curtains match the mint green better

another angle so you can see how big the room itself is

master bathroom; the vanity has some awesome storage, too

boys' room (taken while they were napping)

their dresser nook and shelves

boy closet (so much closet space!)

the mess of library books and Moose's new bed we haven't moved him into yet

the view from the boys' room with yet another closet
There you have it. A tour of our home. Definitely working out for us so far! The only thing we've found to dislike is the water pressure. It's not the greatest (Moose played in the sprinkler the other day and it was kind of pathetic) but we'll either get used to it or find a problem.

Thanks for all of your prayers, those who have prayed about us finding a home. I appreciate it so much.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-
Image
Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-
Image
I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
