good Day...


We had a wonderful Day today. At 10am we had a parade thru the neighborhood, which was great. The turnout was fantastic. Even Zoe our puppy decided to behave. She usually doesn't like not being first, but she got used to it.

Then we went home for lunch, Lars laid down for a nap and I had to go to Michael's to pick up some things for facepainting today.
Then at 2;30pm we had a fun run. Steve got 3rd. Anika ran it too. I am so proud of her, it was a 1.1mile run.
After that Steve came and picked me up. I set up my face painting booth, I painted lots of faces, listened to good live music, had some good bbq, talked to friends, met neighbors.
This was a great Day for a blockparty.
Next time I wanna do the run too.

Here are the dolphin and Lizard I painted on my kids faces.

Anyways that's it for tonight.

Long awaited update...

My baby girl is graduating Kindergarten tomorrow and will be a 1st grader, can you believe it? I can't makes me a bit sad. As of tomorrow 3pm we have summer vacation here, and to kick it off, I am taking them to the pool.
Friday we are following our Tradition and see your Friend for a nice visit, the kids can play and the mommies have wine. LOL

I need to find a baby sitter more often, I noticed S and I have more miss communications lately. So I decided we need to go out twice a month. Just the two of us. No kids.

Last weekend I went to a bed and breakfast with my friend. I really had a great time and got a lot done. I am almost finished with my wedding album. Which only took me 8yrs to put together. The next project is a baby book for the little ones and a school book for Anika, oh and Birthday books.

Now if I could find that second CD of pictures I saved I would be really happy.

I am still working out hard, I fell off the bandwagon this last week with Eating good, but I am getting back on. I was not very happy with myself, when I got on the scale today, but it's a new day and I can eat right today and tomorrow and so on.

Zoe is doing great too, well except for chewing a hole into the couch. but other than that she is great, she loves the kids and is very protective of them. We hope to get her into obedience training next month.

On the knitting front, not much going on there, I haven't knitted in a long time, but I really need to, I am hoping to get some done this summer. I am still not finished with Eris. I hope soon.
