What better time than now to blog about our Spring Break 2011! The week is over and the kids are back at school (Kate loved being back, Wesley not-so-much...he suddenly has a 'cough' and needs to stay at home..ha ha!)
But now that I have a moment to breathe, I'd like to share some of the action that kept us very busy on this week long 'break'. And its officially only a 'break' for the kids.....mom and dad and Vanessa (all the adults in this house) were exhausted!
The first Saturday of Spring Break, the kids and I headed to The Woodlands to do what we like to do when we head to The Woodlands. We ate at Kobe, got our hair cut and visited with Shannon, Kyle and Avery. We headed home on Saturday night to a lonely dad who missed us dearly (that is what he gets for working again!)
Then on Sunday, we started the big paint project. When we built our house, the painters did a custom paint on two walls of our living room and while we liked the very dark walls at first, the darkness got old very fast. Not to mention, black walls are not conducive to great lighting and made our living room seen very small. So, Vanessa and I repainted the walls this awesome shimmery gold. I LOVE IT! I couldn't handle the color in our entire house but for it to be showcased on two walls...MAGNIFICENT!
First, we had to prime the black walls to prep it for the new paint-->
We have just opened the base coat and are a bit shocked at how yellow it looks...don't get me wrong Justin had been asking for a yellow color but this was NOT what the swatch looked like...take a deep breath..there a multiple coats to apply.....
Can someone say CHEESE (maybe for my huge smile or maybe for the color on the wall!)Kate kept begging to help us paint....we let her and Wesley help prime since we figured they couldn't mess up the primer...well they did a great job on the walls but they did not understand the concept of keeping the paint nice and tidy..so they were stripped of their paint duties and Kate went into her room and wrote me this note which I just had to photograph (I WISH! I WISH! I NEVER GOT TO PANTE A WALL. KATE WILL KEIP ON ASCEEN)
On Monday, Kate had a play date with Maddie at her house.....I didn't snap any pictures of that day b/c Maddie has a little brother (Cody) that is Wesley's age so I was too busy making sure everyone was playing nice. Then on Tuesday, Maddie came over to our house while her mom ran some errands and they had a great time playing dress up and jumping on the trampoline!
Wesley was left dressing up with the left over dress up clothes....which makes for a very discombobulated outfit for one very cute little brother!
Wesley and Katharina are only 3 weeks apart and wired very similarly...so there was a lot of giggling going on!
Me and my little man.......
My little leprechauns! This was right before Kate was leaving....we missed her!
Wesley was chilling out in the yard and I snapped what could be the making of a supermodel pose?!?!
Since Kate was fishing at the beach with MiMi, Justin and I took Wesley fishing at Coleto Creek and on the way he was zonked!
And finally on Sunday (the last day of Spring Break) we celebrated Uncle David's 57th birthday at CHUCK E CHEESE! He let Katharina pick the destination and when you let a 3 yr old pick, of course you end up with he big mouse!
My girl..I finally got her to slow down long enough to snap a picture! I LOVE HER!
Great pics .... i missed spring break this year, so i'll live vicariously through you - lol
