Family Fun

It's been another crazy week around here, but with more fun and less trauma. Tenille & Tanya came down with their kiddos for a week and we were able to squeeze in quite a few family gatherings while they were here.  We had a birthday dinner at Tara's, a BBQ at our house, took pictures by the river, and had a swim party and mothers day dinner at Mom & Dad's.  My kids loved getting to play with cousins all week.

 

Peter went swimming for the first time at Grandma Bulkeleys and wasn't sure about it at first. The water was a little cold.

After getting used to the water, he thought all the splashing was great. And I love this picture because you can see his one little tooth that finally came in last week.

Thursday Sammy got a new, shorter cast put on and he was so happy to be able to straighten his arm and swing again. 

 
Friday was camping day! The annual father & Sons camp-out that Sammy has been counting down for weeks for.  He was so excited Friday morning that he was dressed and packed by 8am. Too bad they weren't leaving till 2. They drove up with Sammy's buddy Hudson and his dad, and the boys had a blast.

But sharing a tent, they didn't get much sleep, so they both took a nap on the way home.

While they were gone Andi and I had some girl time with friends, and Peter. We did dinner and a movie friday night. And Saturday I got a sitter for Peter so Andi and I could get our yearly pedicure and I could do some mothers day shopping. It was a great morning.

I also got my room painted before everyone came. I've been itching to get it done since I finished the quilt and finally got paint and got started. I painted 3 walls before I realized I hated the color. I was trying a pale grey, because I was trying to lighten up the room, but it was so washed out and bland and I hated it. So the next morning I went and got a different color that I loved and re-painted the ENTIRE thing. Luckily I really did love it this time and I love how bright and cheerful my room is now. I also got some new drapes up and we hung the mirror that has been sitting in a corner since november.  That is progress people. 

And here are a few cute shots of peter to wrap up the post, just because he's cute. He loves to hang in his jumper outside. 

And this is what happens anytime you have food or a drink. Puppy Peter begging.
