~We find happiness in the simpliest of things~

As the economy kicks our butt even more, I find myself going through things and selling things that I thought about holding onto for a while. For instance, I am in the process of moving from one storage unit to another that will cost me $100 less and decided that there was just no room for Jack's baby swing that I was holding onto along with his Johnny Jump Up, Bumbo, and several other big pieces. It saddens me to do it but why am I holding onto those things anyway? We are NOT having anymore kids! So, as I stroll through Children's Orchard while they are deciding how much (or should I say how little) they are going to give me for my stuff, I come across this little beauty for only $29. As you can tell, it was well worth the money and the hat was $2 but how could I resist? So, other things going on here.....AJ is getting his driver's permit next week which is super scary to me but I guess part of the circle of life right? Ryan started hockey this last weekend....I am so looking forward to him playing in-house this year as opposed to travel hockey. AJ also started his season last week and we are already prepping for a trip up to San Jose in a few weeks....so much for time off. Ali starts cheer practice (hell week) next week and then everyone starts school Sept. 2nd. Oh, did I mention that it's almost 100 degrees and our AC finally kicked the bucket? Yeah, it's like 85 in the room I'm in right now and no one can come out until next week....good times. I'm off to Target to buy some fans!
