This week has been as exciting and interesting as usual. David has been busy thinking up new ways to entertain himself.(click on "entertain himself" for more description.)
See's Candies store opened up just down the street. This could be a problem. It's right next door to Pat and Oscar's-home of the addictive breadsticks. We're doomed.
We celebrated Aunt Chris's birthday at the Olive Garden. Mark, Abby and I drove out to O'side for a most enjoyable, pleasant dinner with the Wicks. (Most enjoyable and pleasant in part because the boys stayed home.)
I had given up on the wooden playhouse because the roof and door were falling off. Actually lots of parts were falling off. But, Mark saw potential and got to work. He and James replaced the roof and spruced it up, relocated it to the concrete pad and viola~ a breath of new life!
This picture does it no justice. The placement next to the storage shed is a bit awkward, but it gets it out of the dirt. Mark also put fresh mulch down and some stepping stones. In person, it looks really nice and a huge improvement on what it was. We woke up to rain this morning so James was anxious to check out the new roof. It actually kept the rain out very nicely. Great work boys!!
Next up: New playroom floor coming on June 18th....Can't wait!!

wow! Got luck with the faking injury fun. Lucky you have such good food near. Wish we did!Is that a new hairdo for Chris? Good job boys on the playhouse! miss you!!
Who would have thought you could get a black eye from doing something like that.
By the way, whatever made him think of putting the vacumn hose over his eye?
Our vacumn story: Matthew sucked
up eggs into our vacumn. Result:
Needed new vacumn.
Don't tell David...
David is definitely thinking outside the box. I never would have thought to use the vacuum hose to give myself a black eye. Such a creative kid!
