Yesterday was beautiful so I shoved the kids out in the backyard to play while I painted the second coat on the dining room. It's finally done! This weekend we are going to hang some stuff up and hopefully find curtains, and then I'll start posting some pics of the house. We just have to put up some wainscotting, oh yeah and replace the floors covered in black stains.. and the ugly brass light fixtures.. anyway. slowly. The carpets (which are the lightest color you can get practically) look like a child ran around with a jug of koolaid. There are giant pink stains all over the ENTIRE house. it's *awesome*.
We were invited to a birthday party last night and the kids had the best time. On our street, at our end are mostly vacant houses or teenagers. We have never seen any of our actual neighbors outside, its' a bit bizarre. About 3 houses down towards the other end of the street there is a block of 4-5 houses that consistently are outside with their young children and the parents all sit and talk. So we just walk down there now and finally have some friends! The birthday party was that group of neighbors, and it was so great to see all of the wives and husbands getting along and it seemed like a big family birthday party. It was at the Build-A-Bear in the mall. I was shocked that she paid for each child to make a stuffed animal but we were so greatful they included us. Our girls both chose hot pink monkey's. go figure. ;) We plan on sitting by the fire pit and ordering pizza in someone's driveway while the kids all play outside one night this weekend. I'm so thankful to have found this neighborhood!!!
Today, I am off to scrub bathrooms and get some pictures hung. I can only handle living with piles of paint cans and pictures on the floor for so long (as can my children who are starting to get in to it!) :) Enjoy the gorgeous weekend!!!!

I just took this picture a few minutes ago. The girls are sitting with their new monkey's, in princess dresses, watching Enchanted while mommy deals with phone calls and bills. :)
