Redecoration

I have been wanting to repaint the bathroom for about two years. I finally got around to doing it yesterday. I forgot to take the before pictures until I had almost all of the wall paper off of the wall.

Loving my job!

A few weeks ago I went to United Art and Education and purchased some art supplies for the kids. Today we put it to good use! I bought the kids the first letters to their names and let them paint them this morning. We had a great morning. 

Here is what I had to clean up.

These are the results of our art time.

Indiana Beach

Yesterday Ian and I met my parents, brothers, and sister at Indiana Beach. We had a really fun day. Ian loved floating around the lazy river. We also had access to the rides in the park. Ian's favorite ride was a pirate ride. We rode around inside a building and had laser guns to shoot at targets. We got points for all the targets that we hit. I am pretty sure that we rode it 4 times! I left my camera in a locker the whole day, so the  pictures that I am posting are copied off of Facebook, compliments of my brother Mike. I did take the first two before I locked up my stuff.

another trip to the museum

This week was an easy week for me. I only had Francie Monday thru Wednesday. On Wednesday I only had her a half day, so I took Ian and Anya to the museum. I brought my little brother too. It was a fun day.

We still love our membership. We spent most of our time in the Hot wheels and the lego exhibit. I love that we can spend the whole day out having fun and it only costs us gas money! 

4th of July

We had a great time watching the fireworks on Wednesday night. While we were waiting, we listened to a live band. They were a good group.

I bought the kids and me (mainly me) some silly light up hair bands.

The fireworks were beautiful and the show was amazing like every year!

Anya LOVED them!

Freedom Festival

On Saturday we went to the Freedom Festival. We had a great time! We got there around noon and jumped in on the festivities! There was a little "fair" type thing that had those inflatable jumping things on it. The kids and I played in those while John stayed with our things. The best part about it was it was FREE! The kids spent a lot of time playing on the little playground that was there. We got to listen to live bands and drink wine and beer. The kids loved playing in the misting fans. We had a fantastic lunch while listening to the music. It was a really long and hot day, so we hopped in the car for the last few hours before the fireworks started. We ended up eating dinner at Steak-n-Shake, then we met up with some friends to watch the fireworks.

Blog book!

I went to blog2print.com and submitted my blog to be printed off. I am extremely happy with the turn out and how simple it was to do. I recieved it in the mail today and I will be deleting most of the posts from the last year starting tomorrow.
I will try to be back to normal posts soon!
