Elmo

My friend had a consignment sale last weekend. I had intended to price some things myself and take, but Katelyn getting hand, foot, mouth sure put a damper on that plan!! I couldn't put her down for several days. I took Katelyn to see if we could find any cute summer dresses. Over on the table in the corner Katelyn saw this Elmo. I knew there was no way we were going to leave without it. She loves her Elmo!!!

Swing Set Fun

When we moved into our house in August, we ordered our new swing set for the backyard. By the time we got moved into our house and settled, it was getting cold outside, so we decided we would keep it boxed up in the garage until the spring. Mark ser aside a weekend to build the swing set, but it started pooring. Didn't stop the boys however, they built the swingset piece-by-piece in the garage until the weather was nice enough to put together outside!!! The kids love it!!!!

Glasses

Camden is so funny in his perceptions of things. He has a very difficult time understanding why Mark and I wear glasses, but he doesn't. He begged us for over two weeks to get a pair of glasses. He kept stealing my glasses out of my bathroom, so in order to make sure my glasses stayed in tact, I decided it was time to get him some glasses. It is hard to find glasses with doesn't have a prescription in them for children. I finally found these sunglasses looking glasses for really cheap. I promised him that if he took care of these glasses for 1 month, I would buy him a new pair of glasses that he could wear to school!!!

The really funny part to this story is that once he got them, he has been reading like the glasses are magic!!!! He used to want me to read everything to him, even though he is very capable of reading just about anything. Now, the boy is reading EVERYTHING!!! He loves reading to his sister every night:)

My Good Luck Charms

Spring Snow

The first day of spring brought with it almost a foot of snow. It was the perfect snow though...wet, sticky, and perfect to play in. Not to mention the weather the day after was in the 40's, perfect for playing in all the white stuff!!! What a great time we had!!!!

Invasion of the ants!!!

Finally, out Internet is back!! AT&T came today to install a new wireless transmitter! You will never guess what happened to the old one!!! A colony of ants invaded it and made their home inside it!!! About two weeks ago, we started getting ants REALLY, REALLY bad!! With all the rain and warm weather, they are looking for higher ground. I started cleaning the entire kitchen and house with vinegar to help get rid of them which has seemed to work, but I didn't realize I that by blocking off their path to our main floor they headed straight for my basement. I didn't make the connection at the time that our Internet was going on and off and eventually shut down completely. The wireless transmitter gives off heat so the ants were attracted to it!!! The guy said when he took the thing down, that thousands of ants came crawling out... GROSS!!!! Guess who I am calling on Tuesday... bug control to spray around my house!! I guess the vinegar is just not cutting it:( In the meantime, I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog!! So many things have happened in the past few weeks. I have a million pictures on my camera just waiting to be downloaded!!
