All work and no play

This week we are working hard to get all the painting done in our house so that we can move in as soon as possible. Every single square inch of the inside needs to be painted. Since the previous owners had pets (which is not my thing), everything is pretty dirty and needs a good paint job. Since we were busy last week and were unable to start doing a whole lot, we have not gotten as far as we would have liked. However, progress is being made. So far, we have painted all the closets, the doors, and have done one coat on the main big room. We still have everything else, plus all baseboards, and changing out the floor in the laundry room. I can't wait to be done and moved in! It's going to be great!


Last week, we had the priveledge of watching Jack and Kate while my sister was out of town for 4 days. Let's just say it was a little crazy. But I triumped and am proud of myself. Yes, I am admiting that I am proud of myself. I think I did a pretty good job handling a 2 year old, 1 year old, and 5 month old all at one time. Good thing Chase was there to help most of the time. I have learned that I want my kids to be spaced a part a little more than that. I wouldn't be a pretty sight if I had a child every year. I'd probably have some sanity issues. Plus changing 5 absolutely disgusting poopy diapers in one day is no fun. Jack and Kate's were by far the worst.

Cade's new favorite toy. He is hilarious to watch jumping up and down in this thing.


Squash this week. MMmm..

Cade started rolling over about a week and a half ago. My little boy is getting so big!!

Cutie-pa-tootie! These pictures don't do him justice though, because he's much cuter in person! And, our trip would not have been possible without you! Hopefully the kids didn't inflict too injury on Cade and he's not scarred from staying here.

Good for you handling three kids at once! I needed mine more spaced out too. I needed a good year of sleep in between so I could regain my sanity before starting all over again... and their poops definitely get nastier as they get older.
