day drinking

1. My parents

Last week Mike had an insane week at work.  Almost everyday we needed to call my parents and have them get the boys off of the bus.  So grateful that they said yes day after day.  It makes things insanely easy.  

On Friday the boys had the day off of school for a make-up snow day and my parents took them on for the day.  These pictures were snapped when my mom came over bright and early. ...Clearly...the boys are obsessed

2. New books & good behavior
On Saturday we finally made a trip to the library to exchange our books.  Owen had a Minecraft book on hold -- holy that is another story in itself -- but the hold made us finally make it back and do an exchange.  This time since the boys were enthralled with the new book I was able to pick out the rest of the books myself.  This means NO super hero books.  As you can imagine, on a beautiful Saturday morning in the spring, there were not many people at the library.  As I was scanning out all of the books the boys met a friend and chit chatted it up with her mom.  I could over hear most of their conversation (which probably isn't the best thing in the library).  The twins were well behaved, polite, and able to have an articulate, 6 year old conversation with another adult. This is a small thing -- I get that -- but it's those small things that help me to see the fruits of my labor.  It makes me smile and it makes me unbelievably proud.    

3. Rouzer Cleaning Services
For the past year Mike has been working extremely hard to start building a business.  It has been hard--emotionally AND physically.  He is working his ass off and it's super impressive.  Last week I think that he had a bit of a break through and the company is starting to grow like he had hoped.  I am super grateful for all of his hard work.

 5. Date night
My sexy husband and I were able to get out Saturday night and enjoy some sunshine.  The kids stayed with Josh and Laurie and we made our way promptly to Broad Ripple.  We did a short food/bar crawl before hitting up the Paula Poundstone show with my family.  I had such a good time spending a few hours with just Mike.

 5. Some more random photos.....

This was right before we left Veda's birthday party on Sunday.  Cameron and Owen are BOTH crying.  Not because they are having to leave...but because they are exhausted and being insane.  I made them stand and take a picture with sweet Veda before they left.  They were both asleep by 640 last night. 

SBJ has started giving us kisses.  So. Sweet. 

The tree house is almost complete!  It looks awesome.  The boys are in heaven and I am insanely impressed with my husband.  

Owen received this award last week for good behavior.  I have the best kids. 

The bathroom is starting to come together and we are pretty happy about the whole thing.  I could not imagine doing a huge remodel because I feel like this small master bath has turned our house upside down and we are at Home Depot every other day.
