What a great day...

Today was a great day and I will tell you why but first I want to tell you why last night was a great night....



Katelyn had her first school show last night and she did great. It was wonderful and the kids all did such a great job putting on a show for all the moms, dads, nanas, uncles..... you get the picture. It was a musical show and more then once I had tears in my eyes. This is the only real picture I got and I was lucky that Katelyn was close enough at this point for me to at least get this one. I did get to video tape the whole thing though! I took a short video clip with my camera too so I could put it on here but I can't figure it out tonight.
It was such a pleasure watching my baby in her first show!

Oh, I also wanted to mention that Katelyn was very concerned that one of her siblings would "ruin the show if they scream" but her brothers and sister did a wonderful job and behaved perfectly. Thank goodness they didn't "ruin the show" after all!




Now I will tell you why today was a great day.... I belong to a Mom's group in Milford and we went to the local home depot today. I really had no idea what was going to go on and I had to convince Connor to go. There was a few times I almost said forget it but I am really glad we went. Connor was too.
The kids had a blast! First off they got a cool orange home depot apron to wear and keep. They built their very own tool box. Next they had a snack. Finally we went on a tour of Home Depot and the kids got to see how wood was cut, paint was colored, and keys are cut. I was even the lucky recipient of a new Finding Nemo
house key because they used my house key to show everyone how the machine worked. Then before they went home they got a goody bag with all kinds of fun stuff in it.
As the matter of fact, it was so much fun that Chris is going to be bringing Connor to another, "kids workshop" in a couple of weeks.


When we left Home Depot we stopped by Chris' work to show him all the cool stuff. The kids love going to Daddy's work!
Once we got home we didn't even go in the house. It was sooooo beautiful outside today so we spent the entire afternoon outside enjoying it. The sun was warm and there was a perfect warm breeze blowing on us. Connor even brought his tools outside to continue on his "fixing" adventures. I caught him on camera fixing our steps. Guess what he said, "oh Mommy, you have to take pictures of everything.". Yep, Connor, I do!


Then tonight Nancy, John and Andrew came over for our weekly Friday night dinner. It was great food and even better company. The perfect way to end a great day!!!
