ahhhhhh it is hot!

summer is officially here
yes i know it is july so what else would you expect but in cleveland who really ever knows when summer comes or goes
but we are up to the mid 90's today and have been coasting at about that for the last few days
what this means is sticky sweaty naked babies EVERY WHERE
we have a kiddie pool filled up in the backyard, sprinklers ready to go, water table filled with little toy animals that need washing, and a freezer full of popsicles
so it has been good
sadie and silas have been keeping busy playing in the water, going to the community pool, farmers markets, festivals and fairs!!!!
only one more month before all the county fairs get started!! yipppeeee!
anyway aside from staying cool all is going well
sadie amazes us everyday with her drawings and imagination
silas runs while making mooooooo sounds
i am done with school just waiting for my diplomas
aaron is working at selling insurance at 3 in the morning
and all of us are taking every moment we can to sack out in the sun
the bathroom is still going....the built in drawers have been taken out the walls are being mudded and it is only a matter of days before we can paint!!!!
all i have to say is it is wonderful!
so that is all for the moment i know i have many stories to tell but honestly i am way to tired to even think about what they are
so stay cool but enjoy the summer

a successful b-day!

we have survived the terrible 2's right....??
so what are the 3's?
should aaron and i get armor and hide out behind the sofa armed with blueberries and cupcakes?
oh i forgot we are getting ready for silas to hit the terrible 2's
oh the fun never never does end does it
anyway all is good in cleveland
the weather has been super warm and sunny which is nice
everything is very very green and going CRAZY
our little community garden plot it lined with tomato plants and oddly enough some basil seeds we planted actually turned out to be tomato so i think we may have a tomato issue this summer
good thing sadie likes tomatoes
i am officially done with school
which means it is time to play?
perhaps though we do have a lot of project to finish up while the weather is good
need to finish painting the garage and wire it for lights, sounds and yes a disco ball
why not have a toddler dance floor set up to get the wiggles out!
we may get a chance to paint the bathroom next week
but that project is still going
and the list goes on...but we have progressed from peeling paint to real walls!
the latest stories on the babes.....
silas loves anything that starts with the letter "c"
so chicken and cow are his favorite
sadie loves to tells stories and pick clover flowers they say at school all she does during play time is pick flowers!
we try to get to the beach to play at least once a week sadie, silas and aaron can spend hours throwing rocks
we want to send out a special thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate sadie's big day
she is still singing happy birthday and loves to wrap little things into silas's diapers and give them to us
so until later enjoy the pictures and i know i have lots of stories but it is a monday and my mind is just thinkin' about sneaking outside on my lunch break and soaking in some sun!
happy first day of summer!!!
ps. the kids are still tired from the party sadie actually told me last night at 7 pm she was tired and wanted to go to bed.....and she did???!!

happy birthday Sadie!!!!

we are sending lots of love and lots of kisses to our big 3 year old!!!
she has been so excited about today!
it is amazing how much one can grow in three years!
all our love little girl
