We had an eventful week! Doug took Ethan and Sydney to the puppet show at the library while I got some things done at the house for work. They loved it!
Snapped a photo of Lyla all dressed up for church. Love this girl and her big eyes and long eyelashes…the smile that melts me (and everyone she comes in contact with) just with one glance.
The painters finally finished up the last items in the house and painted our pantry door! I'm in LOVE. We matched the pendant lights at Lowes and it turned out fantastic. Now for new countertops and painted cabinets…but we'll wait for the budget.
We have been searching for our 'Pass of all Passes' that allows us into venues like the waterpark, Utah sporting events, and some local "play places" and after two weeks of searching, I found them today! I cheered and told Ethan and Sydney who were overjoyed (understatement) and immediately began planning a 'party' to celebrate. I was working out and then making my breakfast (oatmeal, everyday) and didn't notice that they had been tearing up packing materials and styrofoam into teeny tiny pieces. I let go of my neat-freak-ness and played and danced with them instead of cleaning up.
Ethan insisted that I wear a dress for our 'dance party' and said, "I will pick it out for you" and ran to my closet. He chose this strapless dress and I threw it on just for fun.
It was truly a giant mess. Ethan and Sydney cleaned up most of it themselves--they are quite the cleaners!
When we arrived home after a short drive this week, Ethan showed me what he drew--our family. I was totally amazed. Doug kept asking Ethan why he drew him to be so tiny (he's in the middle, the size of Lyla). :-)
We had a play date with my cousin, Nicole, and her boys this week. I think I immediately was demoted to 'lame mom' when they saw the bikes to ride around in the kitchen. It was a great time.
And tonight, we got the kitchen all prepped for the BIG FOURTH BIRTHDAY for our babies. I cannot believe their going to be 4 years old!!
