Painting, Birthday Parties, Soccer, Baby's Room, Cleaning...Does it ever end!

First off....PAINTING...Best feeling of all...we were not doing it!

Foyer, Dining Room and Guest Bathroom to be done this week!
We put the pictures back up on the wall and they look so much better. love, love,love it!

Second...Baby's Room..tear down of old carpets and install of new floors... Thank You Stas!
 and Daddy and Connor! Don and Connor took up the old floor and Connor was so excited to help his dad take out the staples and throw the carpets out the window. They weeled the rugs to the curb and now a brand new baby's room!

 So much fun helping Daddy!
 off they go..two peas in a pod!
 Well, we are getting there to say the least. Changing table back in and cleaned, Wall decor on top waiting to be hung after crib is assembled.

 New floors. So nice and clean! They look really good next to the hallway floors. Great job Mommy on picking out a perfect match!
Third...Soccer... No new pictures this week and can't seem to upload videos from my new kodak video camera so TBC on this one. Connor did score one goal this week. Way to Go Connor!

Fourth...Birthday Weekend Extravaganza!
 Preschool definitely sets a new tone for our weekends. Last weekend we had the trike a thon and this weekend Connor had two birthday parties to go to. I'm glad I decided to go to both of them because Connor really had a great time and I got to meet some more of the moms. Yesterday's party was at Duffield's farm in Washington Township and Today's party was at Heritage Station in Mullica Hill. Connor now has two new pumpkins and 12 apples to gobble down! I think he had a lot of fun just being with his Mommy because it isn't much that it is just me and him these days. I really enjoyed our bonding time and I think he did too!
 

Duffield's Hayride
Connor decided to pick the biggest pumpkin he could carry, but of course that didn't last long and it was me carrying this baby all over the farm.
 

Heritage Station Hayride and Apple picking
 Connor was the only boy from his class at this party, but it didn't stop him from running around and having fun with all the girls. On the way home he asked if he could ask Sophia's mom to have a playdate with her. I think he is going to be quite the ladies man!



On Friday while Stas was doing the floors Connor had two playdates over. Aaron and Lauren came to play and have lunch. After lunch the boys went outside to play and Lauren decided that she wanted to hang out with Mara and play dress up and be girly girls. It was really neat to see Mara playing so well with Lauren and having so much fun. At one point she came out of the room naked because she was watching Lauren try on all the clothes and was trying to be like her, only she didn't realize that you should leave your underpants on while playing dress up. Too funny! So after the girls destroyed the closet I got all the kids to come outside and I tried my best to put together a leaf pile for them to jump in. We have so many trees, but most of the leaves fall where the mulched areas are not where the grass is, but we managed and they had so much fun. Aaron decided it would be fun to try to roll down the hill and then next thing I know they are all rolling down the front yard.
 There you have it, the sorry little leaf pile!
 rolling,rolling,rolling....keep those monkeys rolling. It was quite a site to see. Warning
the kids must get a bath when they get home, who knows what is crawling around out there!
Having a grand old time jumping in the leaves!

WARNING...WHAT NOT TO DO!

The kids wanted a snack after playing in the yard so I made them all popcorn so they could settle down a bit and watch a show and enjoy the popcorn. After about 5 mins I heard a ton of giggling and what do you know the girls thought it would be funny to dump the bowl and start crushing the popcorn. The boys just sat on the couch and watched. I don't know what I am going to do with this chicky....GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS...
