Fun Sunday

My mom was going to take the kid's all day for us so we could have the day together. But unfortunately she got the flu Friday and she said she was feeling better Saturday night but we didn't want to take a chance getting the kids sick specially with the flu. So we gave the kid's the choice either go to Chicago and go to the Children's Museum or Wisconsin Dell's Autumn Feast. They choose the Dell's. We got up early Sunday morning and left by 8:00. We started our trip out the right way with Starbucks. Autumn Feast was nice they had face painting, petting zoo, hayrides, pony rides, scarecrow contest, vender's and pumpkin throwing. After we went to Knuckleheads where they have games, rides, go carts, 3-D movies, bowling and ball playground. The kids love it there and every time we go to the Dells they beg us to go there. Before we headed home we had early dinner at Buffalo Phil's. We had an awesome Sunday.
On Saturday while I was at work the kids and Brandon got to work redoing the kid's lockers. They got out the winter coats, snow pants, boots and ect. and switched out their Fall gear. Unfortunately the weather is getting colder way to soon. But we are hoping for a nice day for Halloween.Keep your fingers crossed.

Lego's, Lego's and More Lego's

Colin enjoys building new things with his Lego's and he is always proud of them. He can build almost anything once he puts his mind to it. He has built a police station, RV, airplane, church and much more. The joys of being a kid.

Boys Rule

Brandon last week painted the kid's room and put the bunk bed back together again. Now all 3 of the boys are sharing a room once again. We decided to take the television's out of the kids bedrooms and none of the boys wanted their own room. If Lily could she would also love to share a room with the boys.

:( Lily :)

Lily was upset this morning and it's shocking how she goes from being upset to happy only in a couple of minutes. She had so much fun showing me her monkey purse that surprisingly turns into a camera (only in the land of pretend):)

Let's Get Organized

My husband Brandon is one of the most organized people I know. It can be a good thing and not so great thing for me. He loves to organize everything. Brandon just finished up organizing the basement (for the hundredth time). He utilizes every drawer in the dressers. This time Brandon showed me what and where he put everything and then asked me if he should draw me a map of where things were. Yes, please... I love how the basement looks but you should have seen the trash the last couple of weeks. I feel sorry for the garbage man. I hide when he comes because I am so embarrassed and people pick through our garbage. Brandon has a motto "50% can be thrown out" and he always teases me that his next project is going to be going through my closet. He wouldn't dare.

Face Lift For The Kiddie's

We gave the kid's bathroom a small face lift by adding new paint to the walls and cabinets. Also adding tile to the floors. We still have a couple of small things to do before it's complete.

bathroom

Half bathroom is near completion. The tile was very challenging for both Brandon and I. But we love the end result. We started the bathroom in August and we are happy in the next couple of day we should be finished.
