Home Beautiful...on its way!

Carleton vs. the lawn (really just weeds).

Dollar Store. Annie and Apollo have been saving their money from doing their jobs. Annie got a chair and loves it. We watched Apollo on his bike (he loved the attention). Every time he went by we had a new way to cheer for him.







Love her little shoes. She picked them out at Old Navy for $1.95-already a savy shopper.



Our living room is full of Christmas crafts. Apollo wanted to paint his shirt-he did a cute job. This has been his quiet time fun.




We've been making our own almond butter. So yummy and healthy. I think I might make our own peanut butter from here on out.


Carleton has been spending the last many nights after work prepping the yard for the sod we'll be putting in. Thanks Marlon for all your help!!!! They used a machine to get all the weeds skimmed off and now need to till the dirt. It's rocky and full of weeds-I don't think a blade of grass could be seen. We have really enjoyed working on our house. Many projects.





Just for fun: Annie was sitting at the table by herself and nonchalantly put her hand on her belly and said, "the baby's kicking".
Not so funny: Apollo pointed to a kid next to him and said "that's a boy/girl." I whispered to him that he was a boy but just had long hair.

Highlights of the week
Carleton: shoveling dirt with the kids
Apollo: going to church
Annie: shoveling with Daddy
Robyn: Girl's night out. Pedicures, good food and conversation, and full body massage (only 15 bucks!) with very good friends. I'm a new person. Thanks Girls!

Catching up on all your recent posts. You guys are so darn cute. Can I be like you when I grow up? You do so many fun things with your kids and they seems so cute. Good job! And what a beautiful home!

That is a HUGE job! I know we did that too. It is really tough work. Now we know the reason landscapers charge so much for labor! No pain no gain.
