Keeping Busy!

Sorry it has taken me so long to update! We had a fun, but busy weekend, visiting with my parents. My mom helped me finish the curtains for my great room and kitchen and do a little decorating around my fireplace. The house is really starting to come together. Isaac was glued to my dad all weekend, which I knew would happen. He seems to love the company of any man over 40...go figure? He loves all the contractors that have been coming to work on the house. It cracks me up! The kids really enjoyed having their grandparents here for a visit. We all had a great time!


Wayne left for Minnesota on Monday for a work trip. He'll be back home sometime tomorrow. Laura and the girls came over while Wayne is gone. It's a tremendous help to have another pair of hands. Laura has been coming almost every time Wayne has traveled for the past year...and he's traveled a lot, so she and I have a pretty good system going.

My friend, Mary, and her little boy, Ryan, came over today to play. We had a fun time visiting. The four little kids played so good together!


Laura and I spent nap time sewing window coverings for her house. We laughed so hard! I think we did a pretty good job. Laura even made us some cheap-o headbands out of some 20 year old elastic!

Today after school, we took the 5 kids outside to play in the road. It's so nice living on an empty cul-de-sac. It's going to stink when they start building another house around our little circle! The kids were all so well behaved. Isaac was the only one who continued to try and flee the circle, but I expected that. They were so cute outside running around. After that, we let the kids play with chalk on the driveway.
