Project time!

So this week was time for a project. I just needed something big to do and I chose our upstairs bathroom because some genius had put carpet in half of it which was completely NASTY after being exposed to our kids for a year so Dylan and I ripped up the carpet and linoleum and then I spent a week laying tile. It is a small space, but it was hard to find the time to complete the tasks. I did though and I LOVE the results. Here are the before and after photos!

Spring Break 2010

So for Spring Break we had planned to drive to Ohio and visit family, but after some car repairs, a fridge repair and a broken sliding glass door we decided to stay home. It was a bummer, but here are some fun things we did instead.

Chloe got these goggles in her Easter basket and wore them for hours!
The boys and I made a tent. It filled the living and dining rooms and we left it up for the whole two weeks. The kids loved it and slept in it several nights.
We bought a trampoline that bent within 5 minutes of jumping, but it di make a good tent for the kids picnic.



The rest of these pictures are from Santa Barbara. We drove up for the day with Rob's mom and we had dinner at this restaurant that is literally right on the sand called the Fishhouse (I Believe) the food was great and the view was better. We sat on the patio and there were heaters so it was perfect!

The boys built a hut with the rocks and some drift wood/palm tree branches. It was fun! Here's Zach inside helping getting it set up.




Griffin and Dylan dragging a peice over.





Here they are at the restaurant. The beach is literrally right behind the plexiglasss. Just like 7 steps down to sand and then 15 yards til water. If you ever get to Santa Barbara you need to go here!
