Piper's Birthday

Here are the pictures from Piper's birthday. What a difference a year makes. She is becoming more vocal and has her own opinions on how things should be done, much to Riley's dismay. I also included a picture of her in her Lightening McQueen rain boots. Its hilarious. She kept stealing Riley's slippers and would run around everywhere making vroom vroom sounds. We decided the boots would be more durable.

Halloween Costumes + Toddlers = Headache

I remember when my sisters and me were little, Mom got costumes and we would wear them. End of story. Times have changed or it could be I'm just too nice and decided to ask my very opinionated daughters what they wanted to be for Halloween. Riley wanted to be a pumpkin, Aubrey doesn't care and well Piper kept going between Handy Manny and Nemo.Do you know how hard it is to find a Nemo costume? So to Ebay I went. After losing a million auctions ( who knew Nemo was so popular?) I had pulled out some the girls' older costumes for Gidyun and Lissie. In the process I pulled out the Jo-Jo the clown costume and Piper tried it on. "I want to be Jo-Jo!" she announced very excitedly. Flipping Fantastic! Right?! All of them have costumes right? No, Piper never makes it that easy for me.Monday, as Piper is curled up in my lap she says "Mama, I don't want to be Jo-Jo." Its a good thing she is so stinking cute.

One Week Later

I know I haven't added pictures in awhile. I've been having problems with our computer. With the help of a computer genius, we are working on getting it fixed. So make sure to check back for Riley's first day of school,Piper's Birthday party and Aubrey's silly faces. So I bet everyone is wondering if my floors are done and if not here is the update anyway because not much is going on in The Adams household. So with two hours and twelve minutes to spare, Ben made the one week goal. Last weekend He finished the hall.playroom and three-quarters of the living room. Then everything came to a complete halt. I think he must have read the blog (he rarely does) and decided he wanted to get the floor done. Now he has realized he has enough for the bathroom. I swear he never slows down. I really wish I had his energy level. I'm blessed to have him and tell myself that even when he starts talking about another project that won't take that long!

One Week

We have been talking about what to do with the carpet in our house for awhile. It has just not held up the way it should have and Ben who has been itching to start a new project ( Like he doesn't have enough going on) wants to lay new flooring. I asked him the famous question, How long will this take. Anyone want to guess his answer?! Not that long. As the voice in my head is screaming, "That's what he always says!" The girls room took two weeks( It was supposed to be done in a weekend) I calmly without rolling my eyes or making a snide remark, ask for a more specific timeline. He tells me a week. He originally said a weekend but because he is helping with putting the roof on the pole barn for our church on Saturday he extended it to a week. Stay tuned to see if he finishes in time.
