WHAT A great week it has been !!!
I have gotten sooo much done !
Walks at our favorite park …it is our favorite b/c my hubby and i had our engagement pictures done here
updated pictures of the trips on “the fence”
I miss my picture taking hobby! 
OH he is Such a hunny !
The “family tree”… all the kids love to climb and sit on it….. all except the twins …who never sit still .... oh well ~next year :)
AND the most wonderful part !!!!
My mom has come in the morning so i can finish painting all the projects that were "put on hold” at our new house when we brought the kids back home from school ……that’s when my “ free for mommy time” during nap time ended and grade one three and six began :)
Here are some before and afters…so far
( it is starting to feel like ours now )
~THE WINDOW BENCH ~
( ahh MY bench I can’t wait to curl up on it with a BOOK!)
before when we moved in it was green
~The FAMILY ROOM ~
I am soo stuck on the browns they are like a warm yummy brownie to me……yep I may need help moving off of them one day ladies :)
the week we moved in it looked like this
~THE LOBBY~
A second coat on the lobby at last and my new chandelier.
AHHH Beige ..I know -to the point of boring….Just can’t seem to help it …it makes me feel calm- he he
I LOVE the sign on the back of my front door …..
~ HOME ~
“ where your story begins”
I sooo want all my children to have happy stories….
the lobby before, just after we moved in …
~ THE KITCHEN ~
>> “BYE YELLOW”
HELLOOO brown ….yes – yes … more brown :) the kitchen is complete and open for business…
UP next …… bathrooms ..or bedrooms or office or laundry room ?? How does one decide where to start !
And then there is decorating all those newly painted very empty walls!!!
Perhaps a break tomorrow might help me decide!
We are off to DINO TOWN !
Oh they have been looking forward to the day we are going to see the dinosaurs!
The twins had a rough sleep and went down for early naps b/c they are all fighting colds while they were napping someone was getting on on one time in the back yard with Gram! He soaked it up!
So the twins woke up and had a snack with Grammy while I packed up the last minute supplies
then into Grammys little car… we all excitedly crammed in
First mistake!
Never!!! put 3 little very excited full of fresh “just after nap”energy boys into a small space without first letting em’ burn off their energy bugs…..notice who “ is front and center “ -he he -it didn’t help though.
We made it to the Walmart down the block peacefully, to buy some staples …. arrowroot cookies- water- and shoes ..( we lost one set !!) these ones are cute hugh!
And then we were finally off !! …… at the end of 24th ( 1 minute away ) the first fight broke out….” MOM he is using potty talk and “raspberries” at me ….and i said STOP but he wont ”……..by Langley we had wailing from the one who had been flicked for spitting and by Chilliwack we had one of the twins singing at the top of his lungs….while the other one tried to out noise him by crying and the third one was complaining of a headache …..my mom and i were laughing soo hard it was completely hilarious ..do we go back home ??
NO we are “woman” and we will go on!!!
At last ~ we …the bravest ladies in town------ arrive !
((Thanks Gram for the matching shirts to keep track of the littles!))
And off we go to a running… yelling …..exploring ……..
(I would love to know what my mom was thinking here! MOM?? )
This was the first dinosaur on the other side of the bridge!
Look at how little they are by the tail!
These two are similar and have recently found that they adore each other -they are ” buddies !” everywhere we go now… 
He would rather put his hands into his pockets than hold hands like the other two- hugging- smooching- cuddling wrestling- brothers .
Next a little train ride to explore the park ( i have a picture of Mr .Grade 4 on this very spot when he was little too)
Such a grandma!
They LOVED the cars !!
Could NOT figure out why they weren’t going anywhere !!!
So they tried to fix the wheels….
Now that is a great time-out spot!..
I would love these for my back yard …..Hmmmmm -i wonder if they will sell them to me when the park closes down at the end of the summer????
They had soo much fun on it !!! Woohoooo!!!
Until they were all pooped out …….
Look at those red cheeks!!
Time for ice cream! YUM!
And then we were back in the car on our way home and the sweet …sticky… sweaty …hot…stinky feet…. pooped out…. little boys ALL slept the whole way home ..ahhhhhhh!!
NOW home they are running FROM ( not in ) the sprinkler in the backyard…just happy little boys having a “pre shower” 
It is a good life !!
I wonder how my hubby and his mom are doing with the bigs at the cabin?!
I need to teach him to blog so i can see what they are up to everyday too !
