Can't Resist Thursday

Today was dedicated to washing clothes and unpacking. I reorganized Bentleys room and closet again and hope to do Sawyers some time next week after it gets painted. Kids accumulate so much stuff, I don't know where it comes from! I am thinking about buying some cute containers to make it more organized, but that will come in time--containers are so expensive! I looked at a 3 drawer and it's $25 and I need about 6 of them. I also need some shelves, so Amazon--here I come! I like to have my house clean 24/7 and straightened the best it can be with 2 kids. A painter is coming tomorrow to look at the house and give us an estimate for painting (there's a lot to do!), so I am praying he is VERY REASONABLE and we can afford it. Almost the entire upstairs and half the downstairs is needing paint. I am trying to decide on what color to paint mine and hubs room?? Any ideas?
  I have all the "HO HO" toys put away--Bentley was super excited to play with them. He didn't get to play with them in Florida because I didn't want any of the toys come up missing, so today he got to play with them for the first time. He likes his Dr kit! He kept doctoring the horses and MoJo (our dog). I think we may have a little veterinarian in our household.
  It's weird being back home. I love my house and South Carolina, but I am getting tired of the same scene same people. I enjoyed being where I knew no one...I'm sure it would get old after a while. Hopefully Hubs will know very soon where he wants to go to Med School. He leaves soon and I am already ready for him to be back! 

Today is supposed to be Can't Resist Thursday, so here is something you should try! 

 A cute idea if you are going to a New Years Eve Party


Top Row (left to right): cucumbers with ranch, frozen black cherries, watermelon gummy rings. Bottom Row: GF barbeque almond nut thins, pepperoni and mozzarella picks, grapes. 
Of course you can add your own little treats, but this makes it super easy for carrying only 1 plate!

Back for now, again.

I'm back until time takes me away again. It's so hard to blog and take care of 1 kid...now I can officially say 2 kids! I don't see how people do it every day, but I am going to try to keep up on it since Sawyer is on a schedule now. Hubby leaves in 9 weeks to leave for boot camp and AIT school and I am not looking forward to it. I honestly don't know how I am going to do it for almost 5 months by myself--I've become a little dependent with 2 kiddos. 
 Bentley is now 18 months and Sawyer is almost 4 months. I can't believe how much time flies by! Hubby has baby fever again and I think he's down right CRAZY! If he wasn't leaving for so long, then maybe. Maybe God will bless us with a beautiful little girl next. Bentley, likes to talk a lot and is already talking full sentences, Sawyer, just kicks-n-coos.
  In between the last blog, I have picked up photography and slowly building my portfolio. I am REALLY wanting to go back to college for something else-would love to start in January, but my beloved Hubby isn't very helpful with me getting started with that. Maybe one day when I can catch a breath, LOL!
  Hope you had a Merry Christmas! We are on our way back from Florida from a very nice, well-needed vacay. I wished we didn't have to leave so soon, but Hubby has shift in the morning. I enjoy being away from everyone and everything and being by myself at times. It's very peaceful. The boys enjoyed their Christmas and Santa was very good to them this year. They are a tad bit spoiled. Sawyer got things he needed and Bentley got "big boy" toys. My parents went with us down to Florida to change things up a bit and actually enjoyed themselves. I've never celebrated Jesus Birthday in high 80's weather! Christmas certainly didn't feel like Christmas to me this year and I wasn't in the mood for it what so ever (personal reasons), but I tried to make the best of the Holiday spirit. 
  I am going to be SLOWLY updating my blog layout, so please ignore the construction you will be seeing on my site. Have a good night!
