Like Legos for Mom

I am so excited that I just installed a drip system in our front flower beds! Mostly now because watering the flowers in the front beds (and hanging baskets!) will be a simple flip of the switch. At some point it will become automated, but we are making progress! Now I need to get the boys out here and teach them so they can apply their kit building skills.

50 foot paint job

Actually, it was 400 linear feet of 1x4's that these boys painted, and even if it's not perfect, I'm proud of Ethan and Reid for getting the job done! It's nice to have some hard working young men around this place!

Joe discovers the slide

My fifth baby, and "firsts" are still so sweet.

Do not disturb

We found this note on our bedroom door last month upon returning home from date night. I'm not sure if he intended for us to join him or find another place to sleep.

Lunch date with my handsome little Valentine

Reid is 9 today! Love this boy!!!

Reid's birthday celebration

It makes me smile that we decided to keep Reid's party small (and simple!) so he invited four friends, which still translated to 19 people in our house Friday night (since we invited families).

It was perfect-- pizza, cake & ice cream, Just Dance 3 on the Wii (thanks Grandma Nancy!) and adult conversation around the kitchen table.

Ya gotta love the two little girls in the back ground bickering about whether it not the cartoon figure on Just Dance 3 is beautiful. (Ella's comment to Jane cracks me up-- "That's your style, not mine.") All the while the boys are dancing to "California Gurls."
