blah, blah

So, I've been super bad at this blogging thing. Not a whole lot going on with the Merrill family and we stay so crazy busy with work and school and just living life.
Karter went to his last day of 2nd grade on Friday and he's so excited for summer. They both love that they get to go on a ton of field trips with their daycare. And Zachary is excited to be able to go to school with his brother this fall. I can't believe my baby's going to be in Kindergarten! Where does the time go? Seriously.
Rich and I finally got our housing credit back and paid off ALL our credit cards! It felt so good to be debt free (well, except the house and the car's almost done). We had all these plans for our extra money and then I took a little visit to the chiropractor. He wants me to come twice a week for 8 weeks which is really going to eat up lots of that extra cash but hopefully it'll be worth it. 
We also spent a bunch of money today on these spectacular Memorial Day sales. We got a new toilet (yay!), paint for the kids' bathroom and the living room (finally!! no more orange and gray blocks on my walls), a freezer (so we actually have room for ice and popsicles! hello!! it's summer, you have to have popsicles) AND new couches!! I'm so excited to replace this tacky red thing in my living room. Not so excited about putting them (and the freezer) on our credit card :( but we got a killer deal!
Anyway, that's it. Nothing super exciting or blog-worthy. But I'll be back soon with pics of our new living room and bathroom soon! So get ready! :)

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
