Birthdays and Bedrooms

Did you know that 8 year olds like to say things like "sweet!" and "that's extreme!" Yup, they do! Well, Noah had a pretty 'sweet' 8th birthday party with his two close school buddies, Ross and Michael, and Ezra. They played with cap guns for over an hour, went swimming in the cold 60 degree weather (that's when they called themselves "extreme!,") and roasted marshmallows over the fire pit for s'mores. It was a big kid party, too, because Noah wanted it at nighttime - from 4-8pm. They really had a blast just being kids and playing outdoors.

The boys decided they wanted to wear ear protection for the cap guns.

It was pretty cold!

"Let me show you, Oona." (Poor little sister)

Daddy was painting our bedroom with a friend earlier... more on that below.

Who needs pricey party entertainment when you've got fire!

Here's our almost finished bedroom make over:)

I forgot to take a "before" picture. This was the closest I could find from a few years ago.

And here's one of tired Papa early on Father's Day morning. We sure love you so much, Daddy!

Snack Time

After a long day outdoors, we came in to watch some Flintstones and have a snack. Oona wanted to join in. Can you tell this is my third child? I just hand my 7 month old a bowl of O's and let her eat off the floor :)

Ezra Graduated Kindergarten!

Ezra and Mrs. Hunter: Noah, Ezra and I all had her for kindergarten. So special...She's the best!

Ezra got to present a class gift to their music teacher.

Ez and his good buddy, Patrick.

We celebrated with lunch out at the Rainforest Cafe and a trip to the Lego store :)

I was laughing at this one today taken over 2 years ago:

Wall Decals

I am so excited!  My etsy package arrived today.  I ordered dandelion decals for Oona's room created originally at lewsdesigns.com.  The one pictured above is slightly different than the ones I got.  Oona will have several smaller ones with the seeds blowing above her crib.  They even sent me a handwritten thank you with a free gift- a red sparrow decal.  I'll posta picture  when I get them up.
