DI Magic!

A Few weeks ago Jeff was searching for a dog crate at the DI when something caught his eye.  He saw his name on a basketball out of the corner of his eye.  It turns out he found a ball he signed along with the whole 1988 CHS basketball team when they took 2nd in state!  So weird to find it in a DI almost 20 years later....Another reason we love the DI!

Max's new hobby

Ya know, its always fun when your kids pick up something new, or they find something they really enjoy doing.  Max has really been into hero's like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, but he now has a new interest and one that really benefits me...cleaning.

The other day he grabbed a wet rag and told me he wanted to clean the house.  He seriously went from room to room wiping everything down.  I was torn about him doing it because although it was nice having him do this, I would have to remove the excess dirt and water stains from everything and all over the house.  But I just took a deep breath and let him at it.  He spent ONE HOUR cleaning everything!  Why the heck do I spend money on toys?  Cleaning supplies is where its at!

Max even made it over to the neighbor's to clean their 4 wheeler.

Cleaning his car.

Cleaning the patio furniture.

Cleaning the couch.

I love you Max!

Fashion Forward Family

With Boston off track and Max home from preschool, we have a lot of time on our hands.  I have tried to get B to stay up on his reading everyday, but its hard on Max because he's on his own.  Well a few days ago, I had a great idea!  Why not let Max brush my hair and paint my face.   I thought it was a win win for me because it would keep Max occupied and also feel really good.  I haven't had anyone play with my hair in who knows how long, and we all know how good that feels!  I let him use a makeup kit i bought on a cruise a year or so ago and he went to town.  Thats mostly lipgloss you see on my face!

These are the results.  If you look carefully, you can see Indiana Jones and his whip painted on 

my cheek. 

Oh, and I also had my nails done....perfectly!
