Holiday Weekend

 
The goals for the weekend were to organize the garage and spend time on the lake. After 6 weeks of living in the house we are finally able to pull both cars into the garage--mission accomplished! However, a quick look at the forecast made us realize we would not be spending any time on the lake. 
 
So, we decided to tackle the playroom. We purchased paint, painted the entire room (four colors), and called Papa Jake to beg for help installing the trim.
 
Installed a tension rod and tie backs for the "princess hideout".
 
 
And started moving in the toys. On the chalkboard wall "mom" staked out the upper area with her name.
 
 
Charlie is enjoying the magnet wall.
 
And then at about 5 p.m. on Monday it actually stopped raining! So the girls played in their pool while wearing rain boots.


Why is Evy wearing her bike helmet? Because she rides her bike for 3 minutes, then plays in the pool for 3 minutes, then does sidewalk chalk for 2 minutes, then rides her bike for 1.5 minutes, then sits in her chair for 2 minutes, then rides her bike for 1 minute. And I AM SICK OF PUTTING THE HELMET ON 50 TIMES IN A 30 MINUTE PERIOD!

And this sexy beast just wonders around doing odd jobs. Lots of odd jobs since we moved into this house! I am one lucky woman!

The room looks great. Turned out to be a pretty good weekend other than not getting to go for a boat ride.

Emily was making fun of my boots, so I was "showing them off".
