I am continuing to use this blog for more than the "Great Summer Trip". We will be using it just to journal life in general. We are gearing up for the new school year. We are homeschooling both boys this year. I had wanted to do this when they were young and circumstances interfered. I am looking forward to doing it this year. The boys are very excited too.

While we were traveling, John finished out our bonus room. It created about 300 square feet of space. We will be moving my office to this room as well as setting it up for a classroom. We are working on that this week and will hope to have the upstairs completely finished by the end of next weekend. We still have some finish work to be done on the rooms.

I will be sorting and organizing the boys stuff. We are getting them settled in a new room upstairs. It is so funny that they have the ability to have 2 different rooms but they don't want to. They have shared a room since Stephen came along and they don't want to stop now. We are moving them to the larger upstairs room. The room used as an office will stay a craft room for me until it is needed by another child. The remaining room will be set up and reserved for a new child as well.

I started ebaying this past week. I am hooked. I am also very surprised at what people will buy on ebay. I sold some Arbonne products that I had left over and an Indian Kurta outfit. I made $250!!! Needless to say with all the stuff that we have in storage and just around the house, I am rapidly taking digital pictures and starting to sell. We have so much stuff with Celebration s- vinyl records as well as retired EQ. I plan on selling as much a spossible. Not to mention stuff that we put in storage from teh old house and never moved down. The only thing we aren't selling is the boys older toys and clothes. Not knowing what ages we will be adopting, it might come in handy.

Well, that is it for today. I will try to update weekly with pictures. I will have a first day of school pic for you next week.

See Ya!
