Summer was here today, but will it still be tomarrow???

What a fabulous sunny day. I think we were outside from the time kids left for school until bedtime. You know when the sun shines here you take advantage, and leave everything else behind. It comes and goes in the summer, and last summer rarely came. So we all wore ourselves out. Gotta love that feeling.
I hear it is suppose to rain tomarrow again, so I am happy i left the dishes and laundry for another day. I am sure we will get our fill of warm weather when we go to Idaho and Utah next week, that is hopefully the plan anyway.
We are bound and determined to get baked this summer one way or another so we can handle our grey skies here.
After a month visiting family we should be ready to handle being far away from them too, haha.

polka party green. . .

I know. . . I already showed one. . but we did another for squid's little friends bday. So here is the other, I am putting a pic. on painted crate.

saturday night fever

So we have been slightly insane with it being June, and still rainy and cloudy 99 percent of the time. So today was great, the kids were out playing and swinging in the backyard. At times I wonder why we worked so hard to get the backyard in because the rainy soggy grass isn't useful most times, but when they are able to get out and play it makes it all worth it.
I should have titled this spring fever, even though its June, its still spring in washington. I am not sure I will ever get used to it, but we will keep working on it. Matt keeps reminding me it is my attittude. . . I know, I know. . yadda yadda.

I got my hair cut today for the first time in like six months so I feel pretty good, a cut and color will always boost moral, I went short of course, ha ha.

She Loves Me soooo much! ooh laa laa!

We are driving in the car the other day when Hayden says "Mom, Kelsey loves me , and I don't like it"

"What do you Mean", I ask

Well she kisses me on the lips. . .

"Really", I say

"Yeah, I found her pink ball and she kissed me on the lips and told me she loved me"

hmmmmm. . .

Polka Party Pink!

I made a growth chart the other day with polka dots, and I thought it was fun so I put a picture on www.paintedcrate.blogspot.com

So, the Piano is up!

So I have been meaning to put up a picture of the piano we got on craigslist for FREE. We went to look at it monday night, and our jaws touched the ground when we saw it. There wasn't a picture in the add, but it said it was in great shape. I never ever hear someone describe a free item as great . . . so we went with the whole fam in tow. And it is perfect especially for the price, hehehe.

Our friend cam was so kind to bring his truck and come help matt load the monster and unload it.
I am excited to finally have a piano in our house, yeah!!!

This tastes like. . .

I know, I know... I am always telling gross stories, but I can't help it I have four very small children. What can I say.
We had so much to do today, and while we were out we went to my favorite Hawaiian BBQ L and L's. The kids have never been, so I thought it would be something different. Anyone who knows Hawaiian plate lunch knows that your BBQ chicken comes with rice, cabbage, and some macaroni salad. This is typical. H saw it and assumed it was mac and cheese, and was seriously stoked. So I put some on his plate, and he tasted it. .

As he spits it back out he covers the side of his mouth and leans over to me and whispers, "Mom, this tastes like private parts"

I say, "what do mean?"

H says as he points to his rear end, "this private part, that's what it tastes like"

I was so trying not to burst out laughing. First of all where does a kid learn something like that because I haven't ever heard anything of the sorts at the house. Second, I was dying to but didn't ask him, "so how would you know what private parts taste like anyway?" Thirdly isn't it hilarious that he referred to it as private parts instead of just saying it, because believe me I know that he is very familiar with all references of that area. I wonder if he thought he was being polite in a public place by controlling his potty words and by whispering. Matt would understand when I laugh also at the whispering because I don't ever recall H whispering, he is a bull in a china shop at all times. Oh how those funny little things make my day. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
