long weekend

As you saw last week, we are working on our house, our kitchen to be exact.  We are working on it to make it more comfortbale to our growing family and to make it more interesting to prospective buyers.  We are hoping to put our house up for sale this summer.  It is about time to get a bigger place with our bigger family.
We managed to get our kitchen almost completely done this weekend.  The only thing left are a few details such as shelf paper.  Here are some pics of the remodel and Gabriel's new trick.

NOTE... when mom and dad are working hard on improving the house, Gabriel will play...
Look at how he has climbed up into the chair on his own and is about to fall out of it.  He did not but it still scares me!  Silly little man!  He knows that the laptop is what plays Elmo... therefore he tries to play Elmo on his own.... Too smart for his own good sometimes!

so much love

"wow, he is sitting nicely beside me.  Mom, you see his smile, you know he is up to no good!"

"Oh no, this can't be good, mom stop him before he does something crazy"
Photobucket
"Get that stinky thing away from me, I am not a seat!"
Photobucket
"Are you seriously sitting on me? Seriously, this love thing is way out of control"

house repair

What do you think of our white cupboard idea?  Much better than the white and wood look that has been rocking our kitchen until this point.
BIG plan for the holiday weekend... Sand, Paint and some more Paint... Can't wait to see how it all comes together!

Great weather

I have been coming home from work completely wiped out.  Things have been very rough at work.  I choose not to mention too much about work because of confidentiality and I have always been told that some things are better left unsaid.  To say the least, I worry about my student's future.  I lost my first former student to a shooting early in the school year.  I have seen more than a few go to jail.  No matter how hard I try to leave things at work it is very difficult hence why I come home exhausted each evening.

...I was going to write about the weather not work so lets get back to topic...

When I got home from work today the weather was amazing.  We were not able to enjoy yesterdays weather as much as I would have liked because when I got home from work we quickly rushed to Gabriel's ENT appointment (we are in a holding pattern until after we do a sleep study).  Today as I drove home I was determined to take the kids outside to enjoy the weather.  Here are some photo's of our adventures today...

good days

When Gabriel has his mind set on something he is going to achieve it!
Here are pictures of Gabriel playing his favorite videos which are also posted below the pictures.  Note his poor little toes.

Gabriel has now figured out how to make his sister a bucket head along with him.  Check out how excited she is about this prospect. :)  Gabriel got upset whenever we took Isabella's hat off to give her a break.
