THIS is an EXCELLENT IDEA!!! :/

She was very proud of her accomplishment!

The kids were able to squish their feet in paint and walk across a long black paper making foot prints. They also played in colored shaving cream and with spray bottles filled with watery paint. They used fly swatters and plungers to make designs on paper with paint. And finally they got to drive little cars through some paint and then roll them around on the art paper to see the designs the tires made. So much fun!!! Most of the kids there had huge smiles on their faces the whole time.

Since I was a helper that day – I didn’t think it would be fair to whip out my camera and start taking pics of MY kid. I did get some fun ones when we go home though. Ever wonder what Abby would look like with freckles?

Hannah liked watching us take pics too

So, Abby has turned into quite a picky eater. The good thing is she doesn’t really beg for specific foods – she just chooses to eat/not eat what is in front of her. So be it… maybe she just isn’t hungry?

Hannah, on the other hand, will eat most anything. Jamey and I were going to be eating quite late the other night – so I made the girls a quick grilled cheese and some carrot sticks. Abby sat and ate her food. But not Hannah. STRANGE!! Hannah is more like a small goat or vacuum.  I was really perplexed with this one!

The girls were winding down and getting ready for bed. Jamey grilled us some steaks (Abby would NEVER even consider eating meat like this) and I made some broccoli and cous cous. The next thing I know Hannah pops up and says, “tree” “TREE”!!!! Ah, the kid wants some broccoli! Who knew??? So, in the end, Hannah split my steak with me – bite for bite!! Then finished off my trees and cous cous!

Abby was content painting.

We were getting ready to head home so Abby let Kelli have her winning gold medal back

I’d also like to mention that you may see that Kelli “only” did the half marathon — about two weeks ago she ran the Bataan Memorial Death March (26.2 miles) in her combat boots and other gear . Kelli is on the left

She opted to wear an adorable skirt for this race. She is one amazing person and athlete!

The window is in and the roof should be completed tomorrow. We’ve already had the ac serviced. Jamey has replaced some smoke alarms and fixed a water shut off handle. And finally we tightened a nut under the sink. We have one more inspection tomorrow and then we’ll be done! Whew!!

Our realtor says that all but one of our requests have already been fixed at our new house too!! It seems everyone is ready to get this show on the road
