Latter Half of Spring Break

I have been MIA on the blog since last week because we have been sooo busy.  When we came home on Wednesday we started doing some "spruce up" jobs around the house...ie, painting.  I painted Trenton's room (white) because it was just in dire need of a repaint on Thursday.  That same night I allowed Gabi to have Emma stay overnight to keep her busy while I finished up on my paperwork from work that needed to be done by Friday.  It worked out because I got everything finished by Friday morning and was able to take the girls to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 - cute movie and considering I couldn't stop imitating Rowley sing "wake up in the morning feelin like P Diddy!" all week while making Gabi laugh and scoff at the same time,

I figured we should go see it! 
I saw the first one with Gabi and thought it was funny so I was looking forward to seeing the second one.  Saturday morning while Ben went fishing with Tyler, Dave and his dad, I worked on painting our master bathroom (same color - greyish purple) because it was needing a repaint and also painted the kids' bathroom from lavender to tan - which I LOVE LOVE LOVE.  Lots of painting in those few days but glad we got it done.  Took a break from inside work to do outside work on Sunday after early service.  Reworked all the landscaping stones around the house and prepped it for some mulch...still have to get it yet.  And yesterday I painted our bedroom (from pink to white).  SOOO glad to be done for now.  Only one more bedroom to go...Gabi's...as soon as she figures out what color she wants :) 
Also....post coming soon on some extra special things we brought back from Naperville...stay tuned.
So I leave you with photos from Ben's excursion fishing for perch since my painting would not be nearly as exciting in pictures!
