Garden Planted
Nothing gets you in the summer spirit like a garden! All planted now I just need to remember to water it :)
Thanks Papa for getting me all ready to plant...again you made my job easy!!!!
Occupational Hazards!
You guessed it Mike was bit by a pit bull showing a house. 14 stitches later and a little bit shy of dogs his ego recovered and so did his leg. The unfortunate thing in all this is the owner of the dog never called to see how Mike was doing. Who does that!!!!!
Sorry Papa :( But we are so happy that is all that happened!

The Playhouse
As you can see Papa and Grandpa put a lot of muscle in this playhouse! My part was easy :)
We were able to use some windows Papa found in the ally for the skylights and we used all left over paint I had collected over the years with my mural work. Some of our neighbors had some given us some used 2x4's from a commercial shoot. The chandelier was bought at Ikea for $20 and after a few additions thanks to Grandma we have an amazing center piece! Even though we saved by using some recycled materials we might have been better off buying a pre-fabricated house....but what fun is that!!!!! A labor of love and worth every minute of it to see Macy and Remy's faces light up the closer we get to being finished.
Great job Papa and thanks Pops for all your hard work...the first few days of construction Pops had a really, really bad cold but it didn't slow him down. You rock Pops!!!!

Stay tuned for more updates and just a little side note about the doors. See the picture of Remy with her hand on the door...well that was minutes after she had pulled the whole door frame down. Papa is not sure exactly how she did it but knowing Remy she was probably swinging/hanging off it :) Papa made sure that door is never going anywhere again!!!
Easter Weekend
Friday Mike and I kept the girls in school so we could do some work on the playhouse and get the garden planted. I have about ten varieties of tomatoes. We also planted zucinni, peppers, onions, cilantro...i will be ready for salsa!
Sunday we headed to Pop's and Nana's house for their traditional feast! It was so much fun getting all the cousins together, everyone is growing so fast!!!!
