Well our bathroom remodel is almost done. It is beautiful. We are just waiting for the shower door. Here are a few pics, before and after:
The kids love the bathtub. It is so deep. For our first major remodel in the house I have to say it hasn’t been that bad at all. Lots of dust but that is no surprise. The kids haven’t seem to be bothered by the changes too. They have been getting some rather large boxes that they have been enjoying playing with. The contractor even cut them out a castle door. Brittany heads back to New Zealand next week. We are going to miss her a ton. It has been fun having her in CA but the time flew by. Last night we had a beach bbq with Grammy and Brittany in Huntington Beach. So much work for a beach bbq but Brittany really wanted smores. We ended up just cooking then leaving the beach pretty soon after. The wind was cold.
Life has been busy. Bret took last week off and we rented an RV for a couple of days. We first stayed in Dana Point, Doheny Beach then headed to Caspers Park in San Juan. The kids loved the RV and sleeping up top. I really liked the beach portion of this trip. We had fun on the beach, the kids had a few playmates, and just great family fun. We did cheat and walked to a restaurant for dinner. Here a few pics:
The kids and Bret made my birthday and mom’s day extra special. Bret bought me some flowers. I got the new Coach purse I bought myself. The kids in the morning were busy making cards and pictures for me. It was so sweet, I loved every minute of it. At school the kids made me plates and place mats. They were so proud of it and I just loved them. My family made me feel like the most special mommy in the whole world. I got lots of hugs and was told I was the best mommy ever. I couldn’t have asked for anything else. Here are some pictures:
So much to write about. We had teacher appreciation in school and the kids had fun doing and making things for the teachers. We have had an amazing year with Mrs. Nowicki and wanted to thank her. The kids all held up a sign that said we love you, the kids and I made dinner for the teachers, decorated the classroom, made pictures, etc. The kids have been playing so well together lately. It is so sweet and nice to watch. We have been going to soccer on Saturdays. Justin is getting more sociable with the kids on his team. He is so proud when he himself or his team mates get a goal. Nikki is still a serious soccer player working so hard on the field. We recently went to a teddy bear tea party. Justin brought his dog pup and Nikki brought her dog buckets. It was really cute. The kids made placemats, decorated plates and cups, then had juice and teddy grahams. Well only a few more weeks of school. I can’t believe it is coming to an end. Yesterday we walked over to Northwood Elementary to register for kinder. We still have a few more documents to fill out. I am looking forward to a fun summer with the kiddos.
