what a busy last few days...3 of which i actually was able to spend with frank!! he had off sunday, monday and today...and monday was actually a paid holiday!! and we truly enjoyed our time...
sunday franks dad came over to help frank repair our basement walls. (i wanted to get a picture but it was so dusty down there i tried to avoid it!) it was some very good father/son time for both of them. frank and i had started the day by taking the 3 boys to lowe's to get some stuff that we needed around the house, (closet doors and trim for the twins room, white picket fence for the backyard, flowers, a new hose...etc) then we had a nice visit with his brother dom and his fiance dana, two of franks aunts stopped by and then it was time to work. he and his dad we in the basement together for about 3 hours, and hopefully all they work they did will prevent the water from flowing through our walls!! when the work was done we had a tasty dinner of homemade potato salad and homemade burgers...delicious!! and then grandpa frank was able to spend some very quality time with his grandsons, two of which he had just met for the first time!! tuscan had so much fun playing with him, showing him all of his favorite things to do (like golf!) they were able to share before bed tv time together and a night time story...it was really cute to see how attached tuscan became in such a short time! we hope that it might encourage grandpa frank to visit more than once a year!!
monday was such a great day too!! i worked a few hours in the morning and planted the rest of my flowers when i got home, frank got the lawn cut and then we packed up and headed out to darien lake (our six flags for those of u who may not know) it was the first time we have ever taken tuscan anywhere like that and he really had such an amazing time. we went with our good friends from church, matt bridget, zach and chase (tuscans best friend!) the babies were so well behaved, the bigger kids had such a good time and the even bigger kids enjoyed themselves too (frank and matt!!) then we enjoyed some much needed "friend time" over pizza and wings at their house. it was a perfect addition to our weekend together.
today wasnt quite as fun, but it was a good day none the less...we picked up our new crib from our pastors house...he and his wife graciously offered us their crib when they heard about the predicament we were in and we were more than grateful to have it. ill be spending the next week getting it primed and painted, but right now the big decision is white or the darker green?? opinions are greatly appreciated!!
but we also spent the whole day cleaning the house and felt so much accomplishment when we were done. we of course didnt get done all that we wanted, but it was enough for one day. so now we are going to finish our 3 day "vacation" watching the end of a movie that we started last week tuesday!
