springtime fun

We have been working on remodeling our kitchen for YEARS now, but it has recently gotten a boost from a good friend of mine who has helped me see that I can actually do most of the things that need to be done and I don't have to wait until Greg has time.  Right now it is tax season which means, he has NO time at all, so waiting on him would mean that all the projects would never get done.  But with Kara's help I have come up with a plan and we have made a lot of progress.  We got paint colors, picked out some samples, decided on the ones we liked the best and have gotten all the doors almost completely finished.  The next three pics are from the day that we took the doors off the cupboards to sand them at Kara's house.  We had all 5 of our combined kids there that day so I mostly took care of Sarah and sorted things out for the bigger kids but I did a little sanding too.  (-;




With the nicer weather the kids have wanted to be outside almost all the time, which is awesome!  Since we spent that afternoon at Kara's house the kids have been especially wanting to ride bike and scooter so we replaced Luke's bike that got swollen last year and bought a couple of scooters for them and they have been having a blast.  Friday Luke had off school so we played outside as much as possible and even invited our neighbor Deb to come sit with us for a bit which was a nice thing for me to get in a little adult conversation (not adult topics, just not about pokemon:-)








This tulip had been growing in the middle of our yard before Sarah picked it for me.  She the buds off of the other two tulips in our yard before they had a chance to bloom.  Oh well, she had fun and was learning about flowers so it's all good.


Aaron picked dandelions for everyone!




I showed the kids how you can color your skin with dandelions so they painted all our faces!
