Tidbits

We are painting the big girls's room. Again. Everyone, including daddy is sick of the pepto pink. We picked out a nice light, light, light teal. It matches one of the polka dots on their bodypillow pillowcases.

This morning we are going to look for bunk beds with a trundle. Little girl, hopefully moving in with big girls sometime soon. Hoping it will cure sleeping issues. Haven't had much luck with anything else.

Great food this weekend to celebrate the 4th. Brats, ribs, veggies from the garden, corn on the cob, watermelon. Yum, yum!!

Awesome movie rented for the kids last night, Nim's Island. I just love when my expectations for a movie are low and it turns out to be one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend it.

Family bowling with other families from church tomorrow night. Should be fun. The kids have never been bowling and hubby and I haven't been bowling in over 15 years! Not sure what EG will think of it.

Fourth of July fireworks at the church Monday night. So thankful that the fireworks at the church have been successful. It is such a great place to bring the family. And the fireworks are spectacular!

Yesterday we went to a Baroque exhibit at a local museum with some friends. It was really cool. They made it very kid friendly by having a scavenger hunt. The kids, of all ages, had a great time examining the art trying to find their clues. The "guide" stayed with us the whole time telling us about the paintings and sharing tidbits of information and giving clues to the hunt. (And making sure no little figures touched the paintings!)

Yesterday the girls had their end of school year evaluations. They passed!! ;) We love our evaluator. She has known us awhile and she understands the whole process. I am excited for her because she will be homeschooling in the fall as well!

Just a few happenings this holiday weekend. . .
