update

Since my Internet seems to be behaving itself today I will update on whats been going on. If you are an avoid reader of my blog you already know that over spring break we emptied Kaitlyn's and Amanda's room, pulled down the wallpaper to prepare for texture, paint and pull up the carpet to refinish the wood floors. What you don't know is whats happened since that weekend?

It seems to me that when it comes to home improvement projects there is this pattern of hurry up then wait. Jason and I couldn't texture on the weekend of the 7th because of family obligations, we don't have time during the week because of work, school, and church obligations. So Amanda and Kaitlyn happily spent the week sleeping on an air mattress in there room while I went crazy because all there bedroom furniture was and still is in my living room. Luckily the weekend came, Jason riped off the trim, up the carpet and did the texture all in one Saturday afternoon. It was great, progress! It dried all day Sunday and the rest is up to me, I do all the painting and after scrubbing the floors today Kaitlyn and Amanda will be able to help move there furniture back in this afternoon. There rooms not finished by any means, there is still refinishing the floors, buying new trim and new windows but until Shelbie's room is this far that will have to wait.

Whats on the schedule for next week, Shelbie's room :(

Spring Break

Last week was the kids Spring Break. It was a wonderful time for me and the kids. We had lots of things planned (at least I had lots of things planned), and as is always the case in these instances only a small portion of them actually got finished. We were going to tear down the wallpaper in both Shelbie and Kaitlyn's rooms, all we got to was Kaitlyn's. We were going to pull up the carpet in Shelbies room, she hasn't even gotten the furniture out of her room yet. They did get to play with there cousin Rylee on Wed. and Thur. with a sleepover Thur. night. Shelbie, Kaitlyn and I went to the eye doctor and all three of us are sporting new specs. and then on sat. came the big BBQ at grampa's with lots of cousins, boats, and an Easter eggs hunt. They had so much fun at grampa's, and its such a long trip to see every body, that they were too tired to go to church on Sunday. But it was a great holiday anyway and I was very thankful for all the time I got to spend with my kids!

As for all those projects well theres always Saturday...

Daddy Daughter Date

I have been trying for a week now to download these pictures, you see last Thursday was the girls Daddy Daughter Date. The theme for this years DDD was Derby racing and as you can see Daddy and his girls really got into this theme.







Besides making these cars and racing them on the track the girls and there dates made cars out of Twinkies and received awards. Kaitlyn's award was for the hottest pink car and Amanda's was for the fastest rocket car. Of course all the girls received awards, because they were all winners.




As for who had the fastest car, that we will never know...
