Concrete Floors are 1/3 done

It's finished!

A friend gave us this play set and we had to take the whole thing apart to get it to our house so when we got back we decided instead of putting it up the way we got it, we would blend it into the existing fort and finish it off. It turned out perfect! The kids are besides themselves with 2 swings, rings and monkey bars. One more honey-do off the list.

Easter

When Grandma Jodie came she also came with Easter clothes for the kids. So very exciting, it was unfortunate that they had to leave before Easter so I promised to take pictures (see I do so know how to use my camera) They were sleeveless and while they were here Jodie just whipped up some little white jackets to go with them. The best part is they are as cute as anything we could have bought and they will work so many of their dresses. Aren't they cute? At church all these old ladies kept stopping to tell the kids how cute they were. The kids of course just got that cow chewing their cud look on their face ( you know the one I'm talking about) and sat there but at least they were very attractive doing it.

P.s. I kept asking max to open his eyes and this was the best shot. poor thing, he really is a very cute boy.

Grandparents visit

Well once again, I have let my children's memories down because you know we only remember what we took pictures of and of course I didn't take any pictures. Garrett caught these few. Max wanted a shirt with a 45 auto on it (kind of gun) because he is obsessed with 45 auto for some reason (do I even need to mention his father?) So he and grandpa drew and colored one on his shirt.
Jodie brought her sewing machine and sat down with the girls and taught them the beginnings of sewing (thank goodness because if they were waiting for me it was going to be when their dead) They each made a skirt and wore it to school the next day. So fun, Liesel's teacher sent me note later saying how impressed she was that Liesel made it!
Whether I got pictures or not, we had a lot of fun the Grandma Jodie, Grandpa Todd, Chris and Lindsey. I'm so grateful to them for the making the trip instead of the other way around!

New Bathroom!

So we managed to dink our way through the bathroom until about a week before Garrett's family came to visit for Easter. Then it was kicked into high gear! We killed ourselves up until the moment they walked into the front door but it looked so good! I don't think you can really see how great this bathroom looks unless you come see it in person but let me just tell you, I keep walking by and just stopping to look because it's beautiful and done (we all know the done part is the important part) I'm just sorry it isn't my master bath, it's to good for kids.

Wow so sorry

I had no idea it had been so long since we had blogged sorry about that. So here is the updates I'll give you just some random pic. I found on my camera and then go into detail about everything we have been doing. I thought I had posted about tearing out the carpet but I can't find it so one day i couldn't take the smell of Dog any longer and just ripped it out! So we now have no carpet in the Living room, any hallways, and Max's room. We will probably do concrete in there but until we decide it's ugly but NOT smelling concrete now.
