This Week

I have nothing new and exciting to post....but it's been two weeks, so I need to update! During the past two weeks, I have been absolutely obsessed with trying to find the right paint color to paint the exterior of our home. The people at Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore seriously know me on a first name basis and they just laugh when I walk in the door of their store! I have 10 quarts of sample paint in my garage and every surface of the shed in my yard is painted in all 10 of those colors! The good news is that I'm really close to finding the perfect color! The new windows go in this Tuesday and the painter is scheduled to begin after that.....I'm so nervous! I hope it turns out okay!

Here are just a couple of pics from this past week. Hopefully we'll have a few more sunny days this week! To quote James "It's not a beautiful day.....again!"

James and Clara pretending. Here, they were making a 'secret little house' under the bathroom counter. Another favorite pretending game is airport!

Emi's second grade class hosted an 'author's tea' this week. All the parents come for tea - or lemonade :), cookies, finger sandwiches and most importantly, to listen to the kids read their original work! Very cute.

Our neighbor passed this little bike down to James. I went and bought a set of training wheels and now James is on his way! He's very excited about his big boy bike.
