Summertime when the living is easy

I am trying so hard to get caught up on blogging. I have been so bad for so long that there is a lot to catch up on. But, I covered the fourth of July in the last post so I am only 2 months behind. I will be there before too long. Hopefully before Halloween at the latest! Once we got back from Idaho, we got t enjoy some amazingly cool weather for July in Arkansas. We are talking low 70's. It was amazing. So, instead of hitting the pool, we hit parks and actually enjoyed being outside instead of melting the second we did. I think there was about a week I didn't have the AC on. That helped the electric bill! Here are some pics of enjoying the weather:

Ever since we bought our house we have been wanting to paint. Mitch was doing the CPA so we never really had the time so I was doing one room at a time. The first summer after we moved in was the boys room. Then came Hailey's about a year after that. This spring I really started going at it. In March I did the kids bathroom. Then right before we went to Tyson's wedding, we finished the laundry room. All the small rooms were done. The big ones were left. In May Mitch went somewhere (I can't even remember now) so i went crazy on our room one night. We decided to hire out for the loving room and kitchen since we had to do ceilings too. It was a disaster which I can share that story another day. But, now everything is painted. I'll have to take pics of the big rooms and post those. Here are what's on the computer. I can't remember if I posted the bathroom already so I'll post it too just in case.

The bathroom and our room are actually the same color but because the lighting is different in each room, they look different. I'll get pics of the new color in the big room and post those soon.
