Misc. Fun!

These are just some misc. pics of the kids having fun!!! For Lucie's birthday my parents gave her the little house that I had as a kid. I wish I would have gotten my dad in the pic. to because he had to redo all the pvc pipes on the inside. Grandma made Lucie's baby lulu a matching dress from her dress last year that still fits. It is really cute. Then the kids had a circus train in the driveway. It was adorable! A friend from church came over to help me with our compost pile and in it were raspberries so we rotatilled the area and made a new raspberry patch that Grant is watering!

A Play on my day off.

I was at home cleaning on my day off and the kids were being good, I could here them so I knew WHERE they were-but I didn't really know WHAT they were doing. It was really cute they came to me and said the play was ready to start, so I followed them. They had set up a play inside the house and the audience was outside the house(which is where I was), then they had me sit in my chair, pulled the curtain open and put on a play. It is a nice break from life to sit and relax and see how imaginative kids can be!!!

Extremly LONG post!

This post just didn't come out right but I have so many pics I don't want to fix it so you kid of have to piece the pics together!!



We were huge overachievers with moving, we filled two huge uhauls. The first few things we did upon moving were doing a little gardening and Lucie has loved dancing on the deck out back!










They left us an old record player that works and my mom saved some records from when I was a kid and the kids have loved dancing to them.



The one place in the house I want little to do with is the crawl space and the kids LOVE to play camping in it!!


The kids didn't have Easter outfits this year so I had them wear the same ones as last year, they were super cute!!



Well, we are finally almost getting settled into our house. It is great, we love it!! At this point in time things are still rather orange(but we are slowly fixing that.) The first two rooms we put together are Grant and Lucie's. We tore up Grant's seventies carpet and this is the hardwood that was under it! We also put up Diego stickers-which is a quick fix until we have time to do more!








In Lucie's room we are keeping the carpet and we just bought daisy stickers for her room to girl it up. I also made her a "dancing" corner with her dressup stuff and my old mirror from when I was a kid-she loves it!






Our little half bath(in the salon/mud room/playroom) was a horrible blue but to quickly fix that I decided to make it a Nemo bathroom and we put up Nemo wall stickers and I actually think it is adorable! The only problem is the wall stickers don't stick great and I followed directions, I hope most can stay up awhile.






Our biggest project is our main bath, we are retiling and painting it, it is coming along great and I love it but pics will be coming later! We are so happy with our house and we are glad we bought this house!!!

Our Move!!

Well, we closed today and we move tomorrow. We are so busy but so excited to start a new chapter in our lives. We will have no internet until May 2nd so this is the last post for awhile. The next post should have pictures of our house and some of the adventures we will be having in the next few weeks. We have already flooded our old basement and today Lucie had an "accident" and didn't make it to the potty in the new house on time(and of course her clothing hasn't made it over yet) so we have to drive home 20 minutes with a naked little girl in the car. With kids there is always something-but it is always fun. Take care everyone and we will see you in two weeks.

Easter!

The Easter Bunny came last night and hid eggs, I have to admit it must have been difficult since 95% of the house is packed-not very many hiding places, but the kids had fun! Grant got a ball and glove and Lucie got Hannah Montana light up hair. It was funny she saw it and got all excited and said-Yeah I got hair! Enjoy the pics and Happy Easter!!

Did YOU know.....

We were eating dinner tonight and this is what Grant said...
"Mom do you know what happens if you don't have bones?"
I said "no honey what"
He goes "You fall to the earth in a big puddle"
Hmmm, I guess I never thought of it that way!

Family of Five-DON"T get excited, just read!

Lucie is always drawing family pictures, well today she drew a picture with five people in her family. I asked her who

everyone was,

I am the one with the brown "flower"hair

Daddy has long green legs.

Lucie has long "Hannah Montana" hair.

Grant is the short little green brother with a big head.

The person in between mom and Lucie(which is much darker before I scanned it) is........

Our Mermaid sister??? Hmm, that is a little wierd, but I guess we are a family of five(one mermaid included.)
