Parade of cars for Cats Birthday

Laura really did a great job getting everybody together and organizing a parade of cars for Catheine's Birthday.  She managed to keep it a secret too from Cat.  The start time was for four o'clck and we all were to meet at the Parker.  As luck would have it, the cold rain came down as the parade goers were meeting.  That wouldnt deter them though as they all lined up in order and left just about on time.  The video shows Catherine coming outside and asking Emily and Erin that was going on. It was so nice to look up and see so mamy cars and people had come out to help celebratr my little angels birthdya :)

Easter Sunday

Putting together cabinet with Cat

     Well, as if the painting wasn't enough excitement, Cat and I decided to torture ourselves with a do it yourself cabinet.  Six hours and about 400 pieces later we finally finished it.....I didnt even swear that much.  It was really needed and i'm glad we did it.  Jimmy was able to help us for a little bit but he went and braved the grocery store....and i think we bored  him.

     During our weekend of work we had a special guest who came and visited and didnt breath on us.  We always like to have the Umple stop by and say hello with or without the mask.

     We got alot of stuff to stash inside these cabinets....we could probably use a couple more.  We do have another one in the back yard room...Catherine really enjoys organizing and couldnt wait for us to finish so she could do just that.....I was more than happy to let her :)

     After breaking up all the boxes and cleaning up after us....i think i'm just going to pass out cold !!!

Painting during the weekend with some quaranteenagers....

          During the week Cat and Laura took the huge step of painting their bedroom.  When we went to Lowe's to pick up the paint she also wanted to pick out the color for the kitchen.  Those two girls really did a wonderful job of painting.....I was very impressed..       Today,  Cat make plans with Erin to come over and help with the kitchen painting.  The kitchen has always been a very active area in our house and the holes in the wall show just that.  I asked Erin if she had ever used spackling and of course she had.......ooooo, i told her she was the son i always wanted!!...Only kidding of course but we did call the paint store and they delivered the spacklel curbside.

     Wouldn't you just love to leave it like that.....Of course they have my name as Jeb!!

     It really came out great with a very limited amount of errors.  It was an all day affair for us but they really are great painters !!
At one point I was painting over the sink and there was a number of cut-ins that had to be done that were kind of tricky so I told both Cat and Erin that they didnt have to do that area and that I would take care of it.  I told them that it was an area that was hard to reach and that I had much longer arms and could reach that area so much easier.  I really didnt think too much about it and I just continued on painting and zoning out as usual as I do.  Well, fast forward a couple of hours later I noticed that I had been all alone painting for a while and figured that they had just got bored or something.  Jimmy happened to come through and I asked him if he had seen the girls.  He tells me that they were in the back room and they told him that I said that I didnt need their help because their arms were too short....Ooooooooh and Catherine kept saying that she cant paint because she's got dinosaur arms or something like that....i guess dinosaurs have those little arms.......oh those girls !!  But they went right back into it and they seemed to be rejuvenated by the break.  Cat and I ended up finishing it up and it did turn into an all day affair....but another fun one at that......

Tik Tok ....Just dance baby

     I was notified while i was on my way home from work that I was to bring home dinner....They do this by thanking me for cooking them dinner....it was Jimmy this time....oh what a sucker I am....Anyway, off to the grocery store and they have some really good hot dinners and cooked chicken there so Fried Chicken it was with some french fries...makes it so much better and easier.   After everyone ate, Laura asked me...actually told me that we were going out and playing catch with the football...Well, there were two more inside and we couldnt let that happen.  Jimmy came out and

played football with us and then Catherine joined us for a game of wiffle ball.  It was Laura and I against Jimmy and Catherine.  Well, the final score was disputed...We either lost 15 to 4 or like I said, we came back in the last inning to complete a walk off win...Its in dispute and we'll leave it at that ....

and then there was the tik tok's ......Catherine let us all know she wanted to do a tik tok...I suppose they pick out a song and everyone usually choreographs the dance moves....as if we all need that...maybe they need guidance but some of us are born with natural moves...yes, thats it isnt it ??
