Another Bathroom Almost Done

This week we started working on the kids bathroom. We have tile that we bought about a year ago from Home Depot in the clearance area. We painted the walls a grey and we are going to paint the cabinet a white with a tint of gray and the molding the same color. Wish us luck.

Brady's 9th Birthday Party at the Mineshaft

On Sunday the kids and I went to my nephews birthday Party at the Mineshaft in Hartland. It was a great time. They had pizza following with some fun games upstairs area. With each game you received some tickets and at the end you totaled up the tickets to pick out a prize or prizes all depending how many tickets. It was a perfect place to have a kids party. Happy Birthday to one cool kid..Brady!

Baseball

While I went to Brady's Birthday Party Brandon was at the Brewer's Game with my mom, Big Colin and Grandma. They had an awesome time but wished the Brewer's would have won.

Lily is Okay...

Sunday morning I was putting on some make-up and I heard some commotion in the boys room so I checked it out. I was in the room for a couple of minutes and when I returned this is what I walk into. Lily had gotten a hold of my bronzer. She had it all over her checks and eyes. It looked as though she got in a fight and lost. She was really upset when I told her that she had to take a bath to get it off. She thought she did a fine job. I might have thought about keeping it on but we had a Birthday Party in the afternoon.

I Heart Mojito's

Brandon and I had a date night Monday night. We had a wonderful time. Brandon had his regular drink (long island ice tea) while I had a mojito margarita. I have never had a mojito before but I now found my new drink. If it wasn't for our errands we had to run after dinner I think we would have been sitting at the bar all night. Oh, yeah that's right we only had our babysitter for 2 hours. So, I don't think we could have done to much damage.

Bubble Blowing

Before I mowed the lawn today I let the kids blow some bubbles. Colin and Lily had so much fun blowing bubbles. I had such a blast watching them. Noah and Gabe more or less dumped the bubble solution out. But Noah tried to share some of his bubble solution with Gabe. It's always nice to see the two of them sharing.

Swimming or Fruit Salad?

Thursday I had to take Lily to a doctor appointment and Gabe wanted to join us. Meanwhile Brandon took Colin and Noah to the beach for some swimming. After the doctor I took the kids to go grocery shopping. When we got home I treated them to a delicious fruit salad. But I think Lily would have rather went swimming with the boys hands down and Gabe wanted seconds.

You've Got To See This If You Haven't Already

I have watched this with Brandon and the kids so many times. It makes you want to do a dance off. ENJOY..

More Beans

Just when you think there isn't anymore there's a lot more. This afternoon the kids and I picked more beans from the garden. I am so sick of them. But Colin, Noah and Brandon are loving the greens. They eat them either raw or cooked with butter and garlic. But I am thinking sooner or later they have to get sick of them. Let's hope....

A To Do List

Brandon made me a list of things that needed to get done. Brandon helped me download my pictures to the computer tonight and he came across this picture. I don't think he will ever give me a list again.

Lily Leaving the Boys Behind

On Sunday we took the kids to the park near the beach so they could dry off. Lily started off playing with her brothers and noticed a group of girls playing so Lily invited herself over to them. She started playing with the girls and following them around. Brandon and I couldn't believe how much she's grown into a little girl. The boys tried to get Lily to come over and play with them but she wanted to play with girl instead. She was sad when they left. She told me that her friends left without her.
We had a great time Sunday. We finally got to enjoy another day at the beach. The kids worked together to make a sand castle with a path leading down to the water. You maybe wondering why in every picture Gabe's shirt is on. The last couple of times we have went to the beach Gabe has decided not to go in the water. He will only put his feet in. A couple of weeks we went to the beach after a storm and branches and seaweed were everywhere and it scared Gabe. Now he thinks the beach is to dirty. We are hoping we can get him back in the water soon.
