Our stairs and master bathroom are completely covered in tarps these days while the master bathroom remodel is underway. I hope to have the bulk done in the next 2.5 weeks, but meanwhile Rick and I have moved downstairs to the guest room and the kids are walled off from the chaos upstairs.
What's the price of keeping the kids cooped in the playroom one afternoon so that they weren't in the way of some tile demolition? Getting every.single.toy.out.
Meanwhile, October in Texas means pretending to drink pumpkin spice lattes while it's 90 degrees and yay, we can kinda be outside for more activities.
Hiking at the Trinity River Audubon Center:
Annual fishing tournament at the club. Rick told me Palmer and he didn't catch a lot of fish because they didn't have the right kind of pole. Umm.
Fall soccer... Palmer isn't the star player at this point in his childhood. More like, he is the kid who makes the kids rowdy about off topic items while sitting on the bench. Once on the field, he prefers to "stay back in case the ball comes to me" instead of going after it. Sorry, Aunt Amanda.
Our buddy turned 5.5. Here's the birthday photo with Mr. Elephant.
"Mom, take a picture like this. It will be so funny..."
Nana and I took the kids to the Plano balloon fest one evening. I had memories of going as a kid and thought it would be fun. When I told Grace and Palmer about it, they were kinda ho hum. Then, I told them we were taking the DART rail to get there. WHOOO HOOOO. That was the key to fun, apparently.
Unfortunately, conditions were too windy for a balloon launch, but we did get to see some sky divers join the field.
Knee socks(!)...
Sneaking naps in brother's bed while he's away at school... (Both kids found this to be hilarious!)
Kindergarten germs...
...And back to the construction.
It's going to be so worth it!
