Where to start

So for starters
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY!!
These are the beautiful flowers I got from Hugh.

And this is my beautiful arrangement on my new table from craigslist
It was really a steal!
And it is perfect for our breakfast nook!
It is also where the kids will eat their meals and color and do play dough and all that good stuff for kids!

This is the etching on the chairs.

And my new patio furniture once again on craigslist.

Did I mention before that Katies new bunny was also found on craigslist?
Well little Snow was without a home...
Until now!!
I built this myself!
This one is unfinished, but almost done!

Got the front screen on and put Snow in it and it is GREAT!
I am glad she has a home of her own.
We are now working on litter training her. I hope it works!

Its the perfect height for Simon.

Can my day get any better?

This is how my night ended last night. We figure it pulled away from my car on the way home from the beach. It was fine before we left the beach and then my neighbor pointed it out to me a few hours later. I did not see it because I did not go on that side of the car after we got back. I am taking it in Monday to get fixed.



Then I got to wake up to this when we were getting loaded up. I even had the car on. I was just looking at the side of my car again and when I had turned to go get in myself I saw this.


So my wonderful neighbor came over to change the tire for me. I am glad he did because I would not have been strong enough to get the bolts off and then the tire was kinda stuck. But he got it off, got the spare down, jacked it up enough to put the spare on.

So this is the original tire.

And this is the spare.

Do you see the problem? (If you can't figure out the problem I have poster the answer in the comment section.)
So my neighbors let me borrow their van to take in my tire because they had a soccer game to go to. They are so wonderful and helpful. My tire is now at Firestone getting fixed. And I am home waiting for the call that it is done.

They did however give me a 10% discount, I'm not sure if was because I was a new customer there or if it was because I was so cheerful.

So I ask, can my day get any better?

Adventures

Katie's school had a 3 hour early dismissal today so I just didn't send Katie to school at all. Instead we went to the beach! It was way fun! Kids had a blast. Got us out of the house. We had even caught a bit of wildlife but the picture did not turn out very good. It just consisted of some live clams? shells? whatever that dig themselves into the ground. Really cool to watch. But here are the pictures I got. There were also a couple of surfer that I got to see ride a wave but when I wanted to take a picture of it there was no wave around them.

On the walk to go have some fun in the sun!

Simon was not to fond of the water or the sand, so he chilled out int he stroller the whole time.

I really think Katie gets the most enjoyment out of going to the beach.

Leo did really good this time around. He almost got washed away a few times but he made it! In this specific picture he was starting to run and scream because of that tiny wave coming in.

Man was it hard to get them to focus for one second for me to get a cute shot of them on the beach! Then we packed up and went home.

And NO sunburns!!! I am such a good Mommy!! (Well this time anyway.)

Rain drops keep falling on my head...

For the love

While I am doing this....






They are doing this....
