Birthday Party

On Sunday, we held a joint birthday party for both girls. We had about 12 of their friends at our house. The theme was rainbows and unicorns. Here are some pictures of the decorations:

Balloon arch made by Leah and myself!

Unicorn horns were all Dad's hard work!

Wet Bar

This weekend we started working to update the wet bar in the family room. Previously, we used this as a storage area since there were closet doors closing it off.

We removed the doors and painted the wall and cabinets. We also replaced all the hardware on the doors/drawers. Here's how far we got this weekend:

The next step is to hang up a mirror on the wall and some shelves. I'll post more pictures here when it's complete.

And we're done!

Here's Brooke singing before school the other day.

Welcome Spring!

The weather is beautiful this weekend. Today we went for a walk and when we came home the girls rode their bikes and we did some yard work.

Birthday cards from the girls

Paige and Brooke made these beautiful cards for my birthday!

Speed reader

Paige got these 5 chapter books from the library on Saturday and finished them all by Monday (two days later). Yes, she went to school today.

Brooke has been working on this all week. Good practice with fine motor skills!
