The Bumpit Sisters

The girls decided to play dress-up in some of my old formals one day a couple of weeks ago. A has wanted to dig into these dresses since I had a few of them out at my yard sale, and I finally gave in. After about 30 minutes of giggling, this is what appeared!

First Day of School 2010

T looking very grown-up!

A had to make sure she stood out in the crowd at her new school!



R didn't have his first day of school on Tuesday, but he wanted a picture like his sisters!

Little R was very eager to meet T at the bus, and she was absolutely HORRIFIED that Daddy was taking pictures!

A didn't mind Daddy taking pictures at all!

The girls started school on Tuesday, and because of our move across town last November they both started the new school year in a whole new school district. We are hoping it will be a positive move...this school district is MUCH smaller than where they were last year, but to be honest I am almost ready to just keep them at home and school them here! T is in 8th grade this year (her last year of middle school...sigh), and A is in 3rd. They are growing into neat little ladies...I actually enjoy them so much these days...except when they are fighting with each other!

Making Dave Ramsey Proud!!

On July 1st, R and I started on a new financial journey. After reading Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, we decided to get on board and take control of our finances. So far, it has been a great month of eliminating debt and living on a pretty strict budget. As part of the plan, we went through and cut up all of our credit cards (Dave Ramsey is NOT a fan of credit cards...go figure). Luckily, most of our credit cards remain in a lockbox unused, but cutting them up was very symbolic of our fresh financial beginning!
