Whirlwind week

It has been an incredibly busy week. Kendrick turned four on Sunday and we celebrated by taking the camper to Harmonie state park for the weekend. Family and friends from school joined us in a very damp and chilly shelter house at the park on Saturday for burgers, dogs and cupcakes. Despite the uncooperative weather, the kids had a good time and the sun managed to squeak out between the rain drops for the last half hour we were there. Gabe came out for Saturday, but that was enough exposure. We thought we might let him stay in the camper one night, but it didn't take but a brief nap time that afternoon to realize neither he nor us were ready for that. He went home with Grandma and Grandpa for the night. Leading up to that weekend, the drywall went into the bathroom, but with the preparations for our weekend excursions and a busy work week, that project went on hold. I took off work Tuesday to paint. I primed Monday night after the boys went to bed, got the first layer on in the morning and the second after the boys went to bed Tuesday night. So the bathroom is painted. Josh picked up the cabinets and countertops this morning. We have the light fixtures and faucets picked out too. The next couple of days will hopefully bring a lot of progress - I am anxious to see if our vision turns out as well as we have hoped. I am also anxious to have the biggest bathroom back in service!

Tonight the boys were both in their first school musical. Preschool sang a couple of adorable songs (nothing I had heard of before) with hand motions on stage and there was a joint production of "Stone Soup" with the kindergarden and first grade classes. It was fun to watch and the boys were so proud of themselves. There is an encore presentation tomorrow which Josh and Grandma will get to enjoy. Grandma stayed home with Gabe and Josh had to work. I also got it on video - so if you would like a copy... (wink!wink!) That more or less sums up the last week. Tomorrow is Kendrick's four year check up and Gabe's biweekly weight check.

Ok - I have been up to midnight the last two nights painting and ironing shirts/pants for the musical, and Friday night was even later decorating cupcakes. I am operating on a bit of a sleep deficit, so don't be too critical of the typos. I'll proofread and post pictures tomorrow, maybe...just don't be too critical. good night all!
