I'm doing it...I'm having a yard sale this weekend!!!! We moved 3 months ago and I threw alot of stuff away, but other things I just put in the storage room, thinking "maybe I'll use that again!" Nope, I'm not going to use it, I haven't used some of it in 5 years! So, this Saturday, I'm having a yard sale! Lots of toys (Leapster and games, tot 4 wheelers, and many more), children's clothes, my clothes (small women's/juniors), purses, decorative items/planters. If you're local - please stop by - I'm also okay with early shoppers, so let me know!
Along with gathering and pricing things for the yard sale, I finally finished painting the den/kitchen area!!!! We hung the last of the mirrors and oil paintings last night and I can't wait to show you pictures! We have really enjoyed our more open space!!!!
We spent the majority of yesterday outside - it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! A perfect Lord's Day that started with an amazing sermon by our college minister, Tim, on Proverbs 3:1-12 - it was geared towards parents, but also grandparents too! My focus this week (and the rest of my life, I hope) is on being more intentional with my children - making the most of every moment! Even the little moments in the car when I would normally put in a dvd and hope that they are all quiet!!!! I now hope to engage all my children and their friends in meaningful conversation!!!! Dinner times will be seen as share time and bed time is the most important time of the day! Because like Tim said, children will talk for hours at bed time if it means they don't have to go to sleep! Ha!!! They are growing up way too fast, and life feels like it's slipping by sometimes!!!!

Good for you in having a yard sale! Can't wait to see your den and kitchen pics. By the way, Thanks forvisiting my blog... I really appreciate it!
Kellie, have been reading your blog for a long time and think your children are just beautiful! Love your new home and what you guys have done with it. We went to high school together, I was a grade above you. Wondering if you were going to sell any of those precious appliqued/smocked outfits that Wilson wore. I have a little boy who is 2 and a half and wears about a 3T. I would gladly pay you shipping and handling to get it out here to TX. Email me if you have anything at susivey@yahoo.com
