Cutie Pie really wanted to paint the sidewalks this weekend. 

GH likes to multi task like his father. Here he is watching a video and playing video games. Kind of disturbing;D

 We are finally putting a tin roof on our garage. Hooray! The kiddos and I enjoyed watching them ripoff the roof:)

 The neighbor kids are super sweet and have been coming over to play with the kiddos. We've never lived in a neighborhood with other kids. It's so nice that we now  have neighborhood friends for them to play with.

 GH and Big Dog love it when J comes over to play:)

Super Clean Holy Water

One of my children's little friends decided that our Holy water could use a few squirts of hand soap. 

What will those clever Protestants think of next?:D

Sleep Over

J. is spending the night tonight. Don't you love what she did with Cutie Pie's hair:D The baretts are fabulous:) 

 GH told me that he was the baby monster that is in charge of protecting the castle that Princess Cutie Pie lives in. J. Came over and pushed him off the mat. He rolled a bit more than she pushed him. He just kept rolling and rolling;D

Briana knows how to throw a party

The funniest thing that day was GH splashing in a kiddie pool. He was laughing and saying, "Help me, Help me Mom! Someone save me. I'm drowning! Help me." I scooped him out of the water and told him that technically he was just a distressed swimmer. (I did tell him later that we don't pretend to be drowning.) 

I took these photos and video really early during the party. GH still hadn't learned how to use the ladder. But, there was no way my camera was going to make it if it kept getting wet;D So I had to ditch the camera. And that was difficult for me. The camera is like part of me;D But, this is still a pretty good video. The kiddos basically played on this thing the whole afternoon. And I've got a sunburn to prove it:( 

a wonderful day with friends
