I have no idea how this started, but recently the boys have enjoyed reading their Bibles in the bathroom while they wait for the tub to fill up. I had to kick that habit a couple days ago though due to the mingling of books and water. We still encourage Bible reading though.
The Rener kids were over one evening not too long ago. After much begging and after they had cleaned up the massive mess they had made, they got to play the Wii. Good stuff!
And...take a deep breath...make sure you're sitting down...Steven & I have painted the living room, dining room and kitchen! And purchased a couch. *gasp* I know. It's big stuff for us. It's still a work in progress, and I will post more pictures later. It's been a full week of painting, rearranging, cleaning out, and total disruption of our lives. But it's looking great! We couldn't have done it without help from the Reners and Tim & Pam.
Steven was assembling our new shelves this evening and the boys were oh so helpful. Goofballs. I wonder how long this new couch will be new? I've told Matt that there are no snacks or food allowed in the living room anymore, and he told me we would do that until September when the couch wasn't new anymore. Think again!
Last weekend we went to a birthday party for our friends Luke & Eli who turned 5. There were all kinds of crazy water activities set up in their backyard, and Matt was ALL over it.
The boys went nuts with the water guns, and at one point while they were distracted by water balloons on the trampoline the girls banded together and confiscated all the water guns. They weren't in possession of them very long...the boys raided them pretty quick.
Sunday evening we joined the Morans, Sarah's parents, and the Kwans at the Dell Diamond to watch the Round Rock Express play. It was Matt & Will's first baseball game, and they definitely enjoyed it.
That was due to Caroline, Mary Claire & Pierson being there, going down a large inflatable slide a few times, LOTS of sights and people to look at, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and cotton candy.
We had a great time. Next time we'll go early and eat at the new Salt Lick BBQ that is right next to the ball field. Yum!
Our garden is growing lots and lots of tomatoes but the birds are getting them before I can. It is infuriating. I need to get a net to cover them. The ones we have been able eat have been so delicious. I am pleased that we are able to grow them so easily, but I've got to get tougher with these pesky birds. We did decide to check on our carrots today and pull a few out. They're kind of short, so it looks like they're not quite ready yet, but it won't be long! Both of the kids get really excited about the garden. They love watching it grow and seeing the fruits of our labor, a.k.a. daily watering with this hot, dry summer. That boy looks big, doesn't he?
