rain rain go away.....


so far we have been super busy
but when thinking about it i am not sure with what
i suppose it is planning and figuring out how to take over the world one cutie at a time
silas is walking and running
he walked all by himself to the beach from our house which for a little kid is like walking miles
he likes to hum or sing when he walks i think it is to help him keep balance
he has more teeth coming in
both front teeth are in and he is enjoying using them which means an entire new food group.....
though i have to say he is a rather picky eater
he loves bread, hummus, broccoli and bananas but do not go near him with a pear
sadie is on a big noodle kick but what kid isn't right?
she is doing great
she wants to draw ALL the time and no little itty bitty drawings (wonder who she got this trait from) but HUGE big drawings on big pieces of paper
so it has been fun
her drawing style is really wonderful she has identified the need for a nose, eyes and mouth on a face
drawing babe still stumps her but she does a daily portrait of mommy or daddy!
she is very independent and likes you to know it
so it is always best to let her try things first before trying to help
she can get her pants and shirts on ALL by herself and is very proud of herself
along with all this independence though comes a very strong will
so we have had a lot of discussions about listening....not sure if she is listening but we try
right now we are getting ready to destroy the destroyed bathroom!
yup you heard it here first
we are ripping out walls tomorrow!
i will take pictures as we go but the plan is.....and that is assuming the tree does not fall on the house :)
that we rip out the walls and ceiling tomorrow
next wed i will take the day off to help finish ripping out the shower walls and the wall behind the vanity
then we go on vacation!
wonderful isn't it
and when we come back
we will have a new vanity, and a sparkling clean tiled bathroom!!!!!
now many things could go wrong...i won't mention them because i do not want to place that negative energy around my hopeful thinking.....
so i ask you all to cross your fingers send us home depot gift cards and pray to the bathroom gods that the plumbing force be with us!!!!
so until later......enjoy the days of clean bathrooms and NEVER EVER take for granted a bathroom that has walls!

I tried to send you guys a home depot gift card but they won't let you buy with a foreign credit card! I'm peaved. I was thinkin, gosh, if I lived near by I would have spent a fortune on birthday presents and such so the beck family deserves a little surprise. But, alas, was not to be. grrr. sorry. maybe i can buy compost online somewhere ;-p
