Spring Break: First Half

Spring break started out with an elusive date night, courtesy of Jennifer the Great, Discount Tire rebate Visa gift cards, and Longhorn Steak House.  Jennifer always tries to indoctrinate the boys on how great Texas is, because she knows Jon and I sure as heck aren't going out of our way for such matters.  She brought the boys these suckers to drive home that point.  One of our boys is easily swayed by such bribery and will gladly parrot virtues of Texas.  The other one? Not so much. 

 

Jennifer: Ollie, what's the best state?

Ollie: Kentucky!!

J: Kentucky??!  What on earth?!  Why Kentucky??

O: They have the best songs!

 

Jon got caught up on/in some laundry...

 

The boys and I started some demo in the hall bathroom. 

Goodbye Americana bathroom! 

You will not be missed! 

 

Uncle Josh came and we all enjoyed him so much.  This quote sums up his visit nicely:

 

Seth:  "It was so much fun, I almost threw up!"  (In reference to playing a game with Ollie and Josh that involved push ups, jumping around, and possibly general rough housing.)

 

Here is a lovely and blurry pic of us taking advantage of free cone day at DQ. 

 

Seth discovered the love of the wheelie, and spent time perfecting his "dirt bike man" clothes.  He can currently rock a wheelie for "one Mississippi and a half'".  I need to get some video of his new tricks.

(Robyn, please look closely and note that he is wearing two pairs of socks that you may recognize.)

 

Josh put his handyman skills to work laying tile in our bathroom.  It turned out so super dreamy!  Thank you times a million, Josh!! 

 

Mixing the thin set. 

 

Hard at work! 

 

See??  Doesn't it look terrific?

  This sneak peak is all I'm going to post for now until we get a few more things done and have legit before and after pictures to post. 

 

Uncle Josh and the boys! 

They are showing off their new camping gear that Josh brought for them.

We had some pretty long faces around here after he pulled out, let me tell ya.
