This weekend, my sister in law went to see my Brother for their military ball. Wendy was nice enough to leave my nieces and nephew with my parents which gave me the opportunity to come and play with them. I just fell in love with these guys. My mom made me do a lot of tasks on my own so that I could put my skills to the test. This included holding. feeding, and rocking Grace, helping bathe all three of the kids, enticing a potty trainee into using the facilities and consoling any booboo that may occur. This is Grace, She is the cutest little baby. She looks annoyed after her bath but I promise she loved it.
I love this little one. Ofcourse she is mesmerized by the fan that is up above her.
My favorite part was her tushy.
Here is Poppy and what he did best. He was the designated Grace feeder.
Now meet Valor and Liberty. They sure do love their Nana. Even being fun Aunt Sarah, it was tough competition to see who could win their love the most. In the end, Nana won and thats how it should be. Valor was so good because you could just set some cars and blocks on the floor and he would go nuts for hours. Liberty, loved to do activities like dancing and pushing a stroller around. I had so much fun just getting to know them more and playing. These two were such a blast. They are way cute and I love them a lot.
Valor is starting to talk pretty well but man he can imitate the sound of a car like I have never heard. "Vroom Vroom"
This was my favorite picture I got from the weekend. Love you Mom!!! Thanks for the great weekend.
In other news,
Recently, Michael went out of town. He went to Pheonix on business which left me alone for about 5 days.Honestly, I love Michael but he is quite distracting. When he is home, all of my "to do lists" go out the window. I always just want to hang out with him. So, in honoring the fact that I get nothing done with him here, I decided to work up a storm while he was gone. Not only did I work my 40 hours in those 5 days, but I decided to paint out bedroom and basement.
I wanted our bedroom to turn out more of a taupe color but it came out a light brown. Either way, I think its very inviting.Our green curtains will now be moved to another room though, because the paint washes them out. I really enjoy the deep rich colors because it lets me pretend its not snowing outside and that my feet might actually be warm one day.
Onto the basement, Now don't be scared! This picture makes it look really dark down there. It is painted "cocoa" but it is perfect for the room size and purpose to watch movies and hang out.
From this angle, the windows lets in more light and you can see how it truly looks. Do not judge on the decor or lack there of. I DID only have 5 days. But now that all this hard work is done, I cant wait for the furniture, pictures, pillows, curtains and knick knacks to find their home down here. Oh and if you are asking about that wall on the right that still appears to be tan? don't ask, its the menace that will be taken care of.
