I have a confession to make.
I’m a pretty happy person, but I am also pretty cynical. I use this blog to – hmmm – try and not be so cynical. To write out that I am happy and love life. Then maybe I will believe it.
No honestly it’s not that bad. I’m just, cynical.
I haven’t written in awhile because I have devoted my time to painting the garage here. Also planting and other random endeavors. My painting is done with the garage…it looks great… Brandon’s grandfather kept complimenting us and was very grateful. I will get the pictures up as soon as I take them. : )
We were kind of …crazy… in the way we painted the garage. It was done in the manner that we did it because of time constraints – I was only able to paint the lower parts so I did it during the day. I think I put – hmmm – 50 plus hours into it? Maybe more with the time from last year. It’s okay, we are happy we did it. We totally worked our tushes off on it, so be grateful people, be grateful. A little humility goes a long way.
I have also sadly ignored my homework as well (yes, summer session hath started for me).
Okay, so on with the happy and loving life. Last Thursday we were able to go to my very best friend Amy’s parents house for dinner. It was absolutely wonderful. They have a beautiful piece of land and an amazing house. Erik absolutely loves visiting there. Oh and I have to add in here that Dadsie (Amy’s dad) built the house all..by…himself. Amazing I tell you.
That last photo is from when Brandon was trying to teach Erik how to paint his arm with a dandelion. Remember doing that when you were a kid? It’s great being able to teach your own children your childhood craziness. : )
We also learned how to pop the heads off.
Oh and Erik’s shirt is in honor of Momsie (Amy’s mom). That is her favorite part from the Toy Story movie, so when I saw it I had to get it. I wouldn’t let Erik wear it until Momsie saw it, so he was happy he finally got to wear it.
Oh and did everyone notice he is actually not in play clothes?!! I know, I am the best Mom ever.
See even Erik thinks so.
I have no idea what he is doing here.
This weekend has been fairly good thus far for us. It has been lovely and sunny (okay not so much today). Erik’s favorite thing to do outside when it’s warm is blow bubbles. Such a cool kid. I loved blowing bubbles, too.
So sweaty and a dirty face. Ah I love this boy.
Daddy decided to come out and blow some bubbles for Erik. He was running around in them and squealing with delight. I’m sure you can just picture it in your head. Well here’s even better, actual images of it.
Sorry I can’t choose just one, I love them all. But oh believe you me, there were many, many, many more.
Closing thoughts – I hope I’m a cat in the next life. No worries, and can lay in clean laundry that is freshly folded after being hung out on the line.
Ah Emma, you are beautiful.
I promise to post more often, and maybe you won’t be bogged down with so many pictures at once.
Oh c’mon, you know you love it. ; )
