Bring on the Inside Projects

I spent the weekend working on the kids bathroom - stripping wallpaper, washing off wallpaper glue, painting the first coat to block residual glue from coming through the new paint. Fun (not really)! Tom kept the kids entertained while I was busy, they weren't very happy that mom was so preoccupied with something other than them. Thanks Tom! I'll post a photo of the before, during and after soon (have another coat of paint to do first).

Lunch with Dad - Alice's corn dog came in this stylish container.

Ouch, Kyle took a digger at school. Fortunately no teeth were hit!

I got one!

After every single house, Kyle would say "I got one!"

Checking out their loot. I think we have counted and resorted the candy at LEAST a dozen times.

Luke, I am your Father

Yes, this is the reason Kyle's hair has been on the shaggy side. Haircut tomorrow. :)

Sickies

We have now entered the 4th week of being sick, argh! Between the 4 of us we have had: 3 cases of the pukies, 3 cases of pink eye and 2 cases of the flu. Somehow we had a moment of health to get family photos done! And they turned out well, phew!

Here's a sneak peak of the photos.
