- Shorts and t-shirt weather.
- Hayley insisted on picking up Carter from school in a full-on giraffe costume. Oh to be 3 again, no inhibitions whatsoever.
- Today Carter went on a Field Trip for school, which means he's gone all day, instead of just the afternoon. It has been a great preparation for Grade 1 next year, and Hayley loves the special one-on-one time.
- Yard Work. This past weekend we stayed home (shocking!) and cleaned the garage, fixed a trailer, washed the vehicles, built a gate on our fence, raked and mowed the lawn, etc. It has been so nice catching up on all those little fix-its around the house.
- Soccer. And T-Ball. And Swimming Lessons. We have alot going on these days.
- Mini-Golfing and Bowling as a family.
- My kids are all of a sudden obsessed with "Harry Potter". They dress in housecoats and jump on the trampoline (holding chinese takeout chopsticks as wands) yelling "Expelliarmus!" and "Expecto Patronum!". Our poor poor neighbors.
- Playdates! I can't wait for more this summer.
- I hosted a baby shower for this sweet little bebe. Ah, she's just so cute I can hardly stand it!
- I painted my kitchen. These pictures are for my Mom. Remember it used to look like this. Now it looks like this... The only problem is it makes the ugly countertop more noticeable. That's the next reno project.
* And I totally started painting the day before the aforementioned baby shower. Not sure why I do things like that...decide to start an "afternoon project" that takes all day and night, haha.*

I like the darker color much better! It looks great!
Julie! I haven't spied on you lately- so I did a quick recap (ie- I read your last three posts)! Congrats on the tent trailer! I'm sure you'll put it to good use. Your kitchen looks beautiful- your kids are darling- and you and Jared look exactly the same now as you did when you were dating! Oh...and I love the picture of Hayley wearing a 'drafts' costume...I mean giraffe...heehee!
okay. 1) that is the same smile carter makes when everyone else is singing. 2) Jared may hate me for this BUT the socks and shorts and bowling shoes... please next time pack thick dark eyeglasses and maybe some suspenders.... 3) I may or may not start wearing oddly matched attire and start carrying around a chop-stick of my own. I wish I had a 4 but I don't.
ps get new countertops already!
pss thanks for the baby shower it was awesome.
Ha, must be something in the air - Josh has been "Harry Potter"ing too - except he can't remember "expecto patronum". He's always asking, "what's my favorite words again?" But I love that he waves his hand and changes his dinner veggies into candy and smiles. Ah, yes. Seriously though, where do you get the time for all this fun stuff and projects.
Love the giraffe costume, my little girl insists on wearing her unicorn costume out & about too.
The kitchen looks great!
I love the kitchen and that we got to break it in at the baby shower! Thanks so much for having us all! It looks like you had a great week...it was nice to see you at the fireworks on Friday too!
Hey, it looks great! Is the color of the wall in the dining room a lighter shade? Or does it just look that way in the picture? Aaaand.... those bananas look DELICIOUS!! I hope you ate them while they were at the perfect stage.
