Games Galore

4.5 more days! Then Katie and the boys will be in town for the week! I can't even wait I am so excited. Luke's birthday is July 18th, they get in Friday afternoon and then we are having his birthday party Saturday night. Since Luke's birthday is on a Wednesday, Katie and Matt decided to celebrate it yesterday at Chuck E. Cheese. Here are a few pictures...

Katie said the boys had a blast and really enjoyed playing the games and getting the tickets. After all said and done the boys redeemed their tickets for mini airheads, a whistle, and one other thing I can't remember. Well worth the $25!

I on the other hand didn't do too much this week/weekend. However, I did get the canvasses I made hung in my room. I am still missing one, but as soon as I find the right box it will be done in to time.

Holy JULY Batman!

Wow!  I can't believe it is July already! Lots of things have happened the last few days in June and here are some of them.

I started working on an arts and crafts project (thanks to Pinterest) and finally got the big project for my room finished. I do not have anything hanging on my walls. I decided this month it was time to change that, so I made some wall canvases.
The canvas for my room.

The boxes used were from work, the craft store (they were going to throw them away), and a shoe box top  from a pair of boots. This was a relatively cheap project considering the boxes were free and we had coupon for the fabric. They look great in my room and I am glad to finally have some wall art.

On top of the arts and crafts, my mom and I took a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks this last weekend. Her friend's family has some property down there and we had a blast getting out of STL and spending time on a boat. I got a little color from the sun which I am happy about and relaxing on the water was amazing!!! 

Out East, Katie and the boys had a little bit different kind of fun. Remember when you or your children were young and bath time was in the kitchen sink. Well, Matt took everyone back in time. 


Matt had spread fertilizer around the house and instead of hopping into the shower he just washed himself off in the kitchen sink. Funny isn't it? 

16 DAYS UNTIL KATE AND THE BOYS ARE IN TOWN
