Where did the summer go?

Well, looks like I'm averaging about 1-2 posts a year.  I must do better.  This summer has just flown by.  We decided in April it's either now or never ....so we decided to put our house up for sale.  Don't they say in real estate that timing is everything?   Not that I really know real estate....but I do watch HGTV.   Haha!  Anyway, with Bismarck feeling the effects of the oil boom in Williston...the housing market in Bismarck is absolutely nuts.  We listed our house and sold in 1 day! 11 showings and 7 offers!    The market made it tough for actually finding a house.  Well, we eventually found a for sale by owner house (a good friend of my moms neighbor).  We moved in the end of June....well sorta.  We closed on our house the end of June...unloaded the moving truck in 1.5 days....went to our 20 year high school reunion...left for a much needed vacation to the lake cabin for a week....so a week and a half later...spent the first night in our new home.
I am doing a garage sale mid September...so it's been a long process of going through absolutely everything...to decide what stays and what goes.  Maybe once and for all we can rid our storage unit.  As I get rooms organized...I'll post pics.  These pics are of the boys room and our upstairs PINK bathroom.  The home was built in the 50's so obviously it's the original bathroom.  For now the pink is staying.  Bunk beds have been ordered for the boys.............almost 2 months ago.  Grrr     I'll post another pic of the boys room once the bunk beds come in.

                                                                  PINK!!!

The girls start school in a couple weeks.  Mikayla will be in 6th grade.  She started band camp last week.  She is playing my flute.  Kendra will be a senior....need to get senior pics done very soon.
The boys start a new daycare a week from tomorrow.  We are going from a in-home daycare to more of a center/preschool type setting.  They will be in their own room...so that'll be nice to have them split up a little bit.  They will go swimming once a week.  I'll have to pack their meals, except for snacks but I think the boys will get a kick out of bring lunch boxes and backpacks with them every day.  During the summer, they go on field trips every Friday.
