Potty, Bikes and Math!

So, Sydney has potty trained and learned to ride her bike all in a span of about two weeks! We are SO proud of our sweet little monkey – even though she is still having frequent tantrums and hitting us. We hope it's just a nasty growing spurt.

Madison has been working hard at addition and subtraction and passed another math test to move up to the next level. I have already apologized to her repeatedly for giving her my bad math genes.

We are totally broke and can barely afford groceries, but hey, the house looks good...

Natural History Museum

Maddie wants to be an archeologist someday. Don't have the heart to tell her it's actually quite boring. No worries, she'll change her mind tomorrow. On her last homework assignment, she said she wants to be a masseuse. Then there was teacher, clay artist, singer, but definitely not a mother.







Ever wondered what a chicken looks like on the inside?

It's Done!

Here is what it looks like all done now. Much darker with the second coat....

Home Sweet Home

So with all the overtime Kevin was working the past month or two, we decided to paint the exterior of our house. Just the stucco and siding, not the trim as that had been recently done, plus we couldn't afford that much. We wanted to give it a fresh look for our next appraisal. The first coat of paint went on today! Now just one more coat tomorrow, plus house numbers, a mailbox, and a nice light fixture. Now every time I come home, I can say... "Ahhhhh, that's better."

I wish more people would slap a coat of paint on their homes. It's really not that expensive considering the cost of most renovations and it can make a huge difference.

Here are some recent pics. First is Snow White awaiting her smoothie. Then a day at the neighbourhood park, followed by the cow girl on "crazy hat day" at school...
