Back to School!

Well it is that time of year again.  Back to school for my kiddos.  
But this year, miss Arden will be in Kindergarten and Conner is in 4th grade!
Where does time go!?!?


Of course we had to do first day of school pics! 
Love this hair bow! And so many more options!!

 It truly is so hard to believe that my baby big girl is in Kindergarten! She was so excited for her first day, but when she arrived at school... saw all the kids, parents, teachers, OH MY! She got soooo nervous. But ended up doing great. 
Quote of the day "Kindergarten is so much better than Pre-School"
So I will take that as a win for the first day.



With Conner "a big 4th grader", it was a lot harder to get him to take pictures... and WITH A SIGN!! WHAT?!?!  
Yep, but I did it...he will thank me one day! ;)



In the past, I have done birthday signs by hand on black foam board and caulk paint markers.  Which I love to do... but it is very time consuming.  And then the heavens opened and there was Etsy. LOL... Well, I can't claim credit on this one... a friend of mine found these beauties on https://www.etsy.com/shop/ModernStarPrint
All we had to do was order, print and spray glue to some foam boards and there you have it!! A perfect caulk board sign with little to no hard work.  
Now, I am sure I'll be doing a handmade sign in the future... our dog Havoc is having his 2nd bday in September and of course he will need a sign, right?!?! Yes ! :)

Okay, back to my sweeties... look at these sibling pics.  I love love this first picture of the kids looking at each other.  Such love between these two.  But don't let those smiles fool you... they fight with each other just as strongly as they love.  But that is to be expected. 


 Walking from the car into school... yes, I am that mom! :)


Happy Back to School, From our Family to Yours!

Just me...and mine

Welcome!!!  It has been so long since I have blogged...I am going to have to get the hang of this again. SO!! Many changes are coming along for the Honeycutt Family! Yes, that would be us... ;)  

We recently sold our first family house on Wakefield... such a bittersweet moment!! 

SOLD BY DANA!  Yes, Dana with Gentry-Jackson & Associates 

Totally recommend her!! And her hubby is our builder for our new house! Details in a bit...

So...now we have moved {our already over crowded family of four} out of our split level home into a 1200 sq foot apartment! OH and let me mention we have a dog, fur baby... Havoc {my boxer baby} Love him!!
Needless to say living in an apartment is much different when you have two kids, a husband and a fur baby vs. when your are 20 and on your own.  But we will make it work!! It is all about being organized.  
So speaking of organized I completely was all about marking our boxes, label, label, label EVERYTHING while we were moving out of the house on Wakefield.  But there at the end,  it was like "THROW EVERYTHING IN A BAG, A BOX, A SUITCASE anything just get OUT"! So now I get to unpack all of my organized boxes and my not so organized boxes and try to find a "home" for everything for our 6-7 month stay at our temp home, aka apartment.  Wish me luck!
