Powerwash

1.

I am not sure of the title of this one so I am just going to leave it blank.  Basically, I just need to say that I changed my mind from the last post.  I am not happy that my kids are growing up.  I want them to stay little. 

2. Cub scout heaven

The boys are basically in cub scout heaven.  We had our first real meeting on Monday and they were decked out in full garb.  Heaven.  

3. Power washed & weeds are gone
In the front I pulled all of the grass/weeds and though I don't plan on putting mulch down this year it looks SO.MUCH.BETTER.  Mike also power washed the front sidewalk and step.  Holy moly the change is unbelievable.  The next morning when we were walking to the bus stop, in the dark, Owen even stopped and said, "Mom look -- the sidewalk is white!"


4. Snacks during homework. 
Giving the boys yummy snacks while they do their homework usually makes the complaining go away.  Last night was the first night I had to pull out Google translate and homework took a tad longer than normal -- but overall things are going smoothly.  Overall is the key word. 


Here is a snapshot of Monday night's paper that Mike checked.  Please note how he circles the words, that the site words are not in alphabetical order AND my favorite part is y + z. 

He was posing for the camera and so happy eating his entire banana.

 5. Emily and Hollis
I wish I lived on the same street as these ladies.  They make me heart so happy.  To explain this picture..... Emily was trying to decide what to order and Holli and I were talking about our huge beers.  It reminded us of the time we were in Prague, extremely broke, and needed to SHARE an afternoon beer.  The waiter made fun of us and we laughed about it the entire trip.  We were still laughing about it last night. Love. Love. Love these ladies.
