Jill and Marc came to visit this weekend, of course with Luke and Mia. We had a good relaxing time just hanging out and visiting. Check Jill's blog for the battle wounds to prove the fun!
Jill and I had tons of fun at World Market shopping on Saturday...we were probably there for and hour and a half. Then shopped around at Hobby Lobby...I got a new giant spoon so my oversized cutlery collection in the kitchen is once again complete. She also gave me a fresh eye for some finishing touches.
ON Sunday Jill and I went dining room furniture shopping and narrowed it down to two choices...now we just have to commit to the money!
Scott and Marc had a bigger adventure...they drove to Haltom City with the truck and trailor to get a giant sectional sofa with sleeper sofa and two recliners....for only $460! It is perfect for hanging out upstairs. Then Jill and I came up with a game plan for organizing toys, which I finished today. We did make a few changes and moved around the couch.
Thanks especially to Marc...that sofa weighed a ton!!!
Here are some new home photos and some fun photos of the kids. We went to feed the ducks, which are right around the corner but a little too far to walk with so many little ones. But too short to bother with a bunch of car seats....so we strapped in Mia and threw the bigger four kids in the back end. The ducks and geese were bigger than Mia and bold...they pecked at Payton's shirt because she had crumbs on it!
Oh and why, do you ask, are the three children sitting in the window? Because they decided to take down my retaining wall out back brick by brick in the rain...when we caught them we made them sit in time out and watch Marcus put it back together, then apologize to him when he came in.

Your upstairs room is a perfect hangout for the kids and their toys....kind of like a basement on the upstairs! Love the time out picture and story!!
exactly what I thought...like a basement...but the stairs go up!
WOW, lots more work in a weekend. Like what you did with the toys-the stacking drawer storage is much more attractive than the cardboard boxes. Did you find the sectional on Craig's list? And is there still a place for the cowboy chair? Glad you had such a great weekend.MOM
ps me again, I have no comment on the time out story. The picture would be good for creative writing stories. How much did they take down? MOM
To answer mom's question, most of the top row of bricks were down! not sure how they stayed injury free on that... but they all seemed to make up for injuries in other ways. and i can't believe brenda didn't add marcus' comment... as we closed them in the back of the car, he said "off to mexico!"
Everything looks so nice and spacious. That's nice that the time out area is so spread out, too!
