Updates!!

Got a lot done this past week!  So happy to be able to enjoy some time with family this week!

Pintrest proud

So,  Karl and I were talking about a laundry room kitchen project and he actually said "I am trying to think of something I saw on Pintrest..."  Made me so proud!  My hubby, pinning:)

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm trying to look in the bright side that we might be getting a chance to replace the ugly vinyl flooring in the laundry and bathroom that I hate with something better, maybe tile, and I have a chance to reorganize the laundry room,  but the reason is probably an overflowing toilet caused by a sewage block that is truly an unpleasant nightmare.  Clean up remediation team just arrived.  Plumber will be here with the next 2 hours but since we are calling on a holiday weekend,  it will be an insane bill!

Oh and Josh's dream has arrived,  we are missing church, and we had to tell him to pee in the yard.

Spring bike riding!

So Sydney has been using Emily old bike for two years,  and it was way too small. I bought her a new one today and she excited for the new bike but unsure of all the new gears.  

Josh wanted to try out his bike, but we got it without training wheels,  and the tire was flat.  So Karl pumped it up.  About a minute after we filled it, bam,  the tire burst and made an absolutely deafening noise which made both our ears hurt!

Happy easter

Had a wonderful day with family.  Attempted a fun pintrest breakfast item,  and had to post the results.

Teenagers

Me: those are my pillows.  They are not to be used in a pillow fight.

Emily: well they are called throw pillows!

Snow day #1

The kids were thrilled yesterday to get their first snow day of the year.  They would have preferred another today,  but I was thrilled with just a 2 hour delay.  Sorry,  but my living room got way too messy yesterday while they watched a little bit too much TV.  Sadly I had planned to spend the whole day sewing a curtain order.

Congratulations go to Emily for being an awesome snow shoveler!  I finished the job after she left for school.  I adore our giant yellow snow shovel,  but it is still a decent workout! Especially at the bottom of the drive.  Ugh.  That stuff has got to be double if not triple the weight of everything else!
