fun with blocks. . .




What a busy weekend and it is still not over. We were able to get a few things accomplished this weekend. We were expecting very warm temperatures but last minute the forcast changed on us. Kind of a bummer since we had a beautiful week. I am tired of the up and down temperatures and wish we could just stay the same.

Yesterday I convinced Steve to do a few things around the house. We have SO many things that need to be done and since everything is so expensive we haven't been able to do things as fast as we would like. Steve insalled a new vanity downstairs in the bathroom, finally!! So all you visitors, you will get to wash your hands in the guest bath rather then using hand sanitizer. This was a project we kind of weren't in a rush to do since it is our third bathroom but it is nice that it is done. This bathroom still has alot of work but it is now functional.
We also found a new light for our entrance. I have been watching for a while for one that matches our light in the dining room and we finally found one. I was so happy to see the ugly old brass light fixture go in the trash.

Last night Steve and I hired a babysitter and went to the Starfield concert with some friends. I am sure you all heard of the accident, or read it in my sister Jamie's post at there concert a week earlier. They shared quite a bit from there experience there and had a prayer time for the people who are hurting. They had a fantastic concert and I am glad I got to see them. The reason I say "I" and not "We" is that Steve had to leave halfway through because Liam started freaking out. He has been doing this lately and we didn't want our young babysitter to have to deal with that. At least I got to enjoy it.

Tomorow is Aidan's first soccer game. We all enjoyed soccer last year and it was good to get out with the entire family. The other kids enjoy the time as well. Last year we had a terrible experience and Aidan's soccer coach quite halfway through, just never showed up. It was dissapointing for the kids but thankgoodness for some willing parents who stood up and took charge. I am sure this year will be different.

Yay - I'm so excited to use your new sink when I come next time :) lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. It's strange that we barely got to see Starfield at all that night. I hope the weather shapes up for you there. We are going to have a nice day today I think, but it's still so unpredictable these days...
Oh, and great block pics as well :)
