Season Finale

I hate cliffhangers.

Mother's Day, New Kicks and Art Projects

What a fine day it's been. My lovely husband pulled out all the stops, proudly presenting me with a dozen white roses and a new pair of Adidas Bounce running shoes. No I don't run exactly, but I do chase kids for a living. 'nuff said. The girls and I spent this past week working on a project for the grandma's. 10x10 pre-stretched canvases which they painted and I put some handprints on. They turned out fantastic, the picture truly doesn't do them justice. Lastly I spent the weekend with my girls. It was fun and relaxing, just the way I like it.

 

 

 

 

The Couch

One of the 'treasures' my husband discovered cleaning out his uncles house, was a 1970's child-sized sofa. It was in great shape structurally, but needed a bit of an update. Yesterday he braved the city traffic and hit JoAnn Fabrics (how cute is that?), in order to reupholster it. He did a great job!

Spring Fever!

It's been a long time since I've blogged. We've been really busy the past few months and I'll admit I've been lazy about it. I sit down at night with thoughts of catching up and as my body winds down from the day, so does my energy. The girls are good. Great in fact! They are so verbal and expressive. Payton is very imaginative and girly. Addison is loud and direct. They compliment each other well.
Last weekend we took a trip to the zoo, but this weekend was spent at home. We're getting some very nice weather (in between the rain) we're all trying to enjoy as much as possible. Here are a few pics from our afternoon enjoying the outdoors.

Sadly a few weekends ago my husband's Uncle Ron passed away. In helping clean out his garage he came across an old mower, it's called a Flymo. Incredibly it's a hover-mower and this evening he got it running. It's so cool! You can push it, pull it, even swing it side-to-side. I've never seen anything like it before, but it's awesome.
