I had some touch up paint to do today, so I put tape down and did it at 7:30 this morning.    I decided to leave the tape in case I needed a second coat, and then i was supposed to be done.

I pulled the tape off at 10 this morning...and pulled three BIG gouges out of my wall paint.

Beats head soundly on desk.

The scream you heard across the U.S. that was me.  I'm sooooooooooo sick of painting.  LOL

So I guess after I take Rob to work I shall lay some paper down and fix the wall, now that the floor is touched up.

*beats head off desk again*

quiet day--well except for the thunder outside.  IF it gets any closer I suppose I should shut the computer off.

I have put 3 coats of paint down on the floor in the bedroom, I think I'm just going to need one more touch-up coat.

I also got all the movies I've made recently out of my images burnt on CD, and off the computer memory.  And backed-up all of my images that were on the puter since I got it in December.  I usually back-up more often then that, and have been sorely lax.  I would never forgive myself if I lost them all, so their nice and save on hard disc. 

The kids are in the bedroom building legos, and life is just kinda quiet.

It appears that the endoscopy for Rainee is on.  I called the nurse today, and she thought everything would be fine.  She finally ditched the cold on Saturday, so I guess I'm doomed to Seattle.  LOL  Which means I suppose I should go make a motel reservation or something somewhere soon.

Good morning

Went for a lovely drive last night-found the sun.  It was about 2,000 feet up.  LOL.  We drove up the West Twin Rd, and came down Snyder Road.  We played in a couple water falls, and stopped and admired the view of the strait while the kids climbed the rocks.  The waterfalls were a blast.  These are just small falls alongside the road, not the tourist kind, but pretty nontheless.

Zeria was feeling particularly photogenic and "model" minded.  She kept getting in front of the camera somehow tonight.   *snicker*

All in all it was a beautiful drive, and I much appreciated the sun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On another rather cool note had a God-moment happen yesterday.  When we were in the process of moving out here we only "knew" one family that lived out here.  They are a family with 10 kiddos.  They used to homeschool, but don't any longer.  We actually swapped ideas about starting a church, when we really felt there wasn't one out here, but then we found the COC, and dropped that.  They don't go to COC they drive 45 minutes one way to another church.  A long crooked drive, not freeway driving.  LOL.

I've mentioned us really liking the COC church, and she'd nod her head and agree she really loved the famillys who went there, but they were still talking about starting a church or something like that.   It was a conversation we had whenever we'd meat, but didn't go on for too long.

Last Sunday I met her on my way to church, and she mentioned they were once again missing church due to conflicts of where they needed to be.  She'd told me in the past they miss 3 out of 4 Sundays due to the drive just being too complicated.

I heard myself asking.  "If you don't mind myself asking do you have something against the Church of Christ?  Doctrinally, or otherwise?"  She smiled and said "No, we just really like our Baptist church."  I nodded and said, "I guess we were just determined to worship in our community, I grew up that it was important to go to church where you lived, not drive out of a community to go.  It was a "cardinal" rule with my parents."  We talked about a couple other things and then said goodby.

I felt like I'd been a bit pushy about it, and a bit guilty afterwards.  I did some praying, and thinking about it, but felt like God gave me peace.  I did decide however I probably wouldn't mention "our" church to her anymore.

It fled my mind completely and life moved on.

Yeserday morning Rob headed to Sunday School with the kids, and came back to get me for church since we're currently down to one vehicle.  He got a big grin on his face when he walked in the door.  "Evie and a bunch of her kids came to church."

God answered.  *beams*  I have no idea if they'll keep coming, but apparently for once my mouth served for good instead of ill. 

Good morning

Yesterday after I got online we got in the car to get my pop, and I told Rob I wanted him to drive until he found sunshine.  His comment was, "Don't tempt me." 

Instead after getting the pop we discussed options and decided to head for Rialto.  As we headed in the general direction it started raining.  We got almost to the cut-off I said "why don't we try the Farmers Markest instead."  Rob was game so we headed to Forks. 

We drove around in circles for a bit trying to find it, eventually found out where it was...and their was nobody there.  Its well advertised, so we still don't know what was up with that.  ROFL.  But while we were wandering I finally found the scrapbooking store I'd been told was there.  Its actually a florist, and nicnac store but I'd been told they had a nice scrapbooking section.  Since we couldn't do the farmers market Rob sat in the car with the kiddos and I checked it out.  They had a nice little selection, and some of the stuff came home with me.  *snicker*

At this point the kiddos had been stuck in the car for almost an hour, and the rain had completely disappeared--though still overcast.  I suggested we go to Tillamak park, and let them get out.  It was quite lovely.  Rob was a hoot, he played on all the playground equipment just like the kids, and came over to me huffing and puffing like he'd run one of his marathons.  I laughed at him, and told him it appeared he wasn't 8 years old any more.  *snicker*

After a nice long time at the park we headed home and just bummed around the house.  Rob built the kids the first level of their treehouse--sorry don't have pictures yet.  And swept out the garage, and pulled the staples out of the floor in the bedroom.  We were just relaxed and did what we want, and stopped when we didn't.  It ended up being a nice day...even if it was foggy and groggy.  LOL

And this was taken at the park.  Rob collapsed on the ground exhausted after showing me how to play on the equipment, and the kids of course couldn't resist the perfect opportunity.

Dog Pile on DADDY!

Good morning

Its a foggy groggy day.  I'm rather sick of the fog.  The grass is so tall we're gonna have to weed eat it instead of mow it if we don't get a break in the rain. 

There are all kinds of indoor projects we can do, but I'm just bleh.  I want to go for a nice drive, and drive until I find sunshine and stay there.  LOL  I'm not actually sure what we're gonna do, too early in the morning.  I know what we should be doing, finishing our bedroom, but we shall see.

I spent last night getting Fathers Days gifts ordered.   I got photo t-shirts for my hubby and my dad.  My dads is a goofy picture of all the grandkids.  My husbands is a picture of all of our kids.  For my fil I got a photo insulated cup of our kids.   They should be here by Tuesday or so, Snapfish is typically quite quick in sending stuff.

Other then that life is nice and quiet.

 Good morning headed to Sequim, to  Costco, to the grocery store gonna be gone quite awhile.  So no online time today.  Tis okay I get to do it sans kids what a novelty. 

And this weeks photo blog topic is Kids in motion.  Oh man do I have kids in motion.  ROFL  I didn't look far for these, just weaned them down to some of my favorites.  All of them are candid, none of them are posed.  And *gasp* most of them are of Samuel.  (big surprise)  *Snicker*

For dinner Hot chicken sandwiches (chicken & gravy) on homemade bread.  For desert Cinnamon rolls.

My house smells soooooooooooooooooooo good, and I'm soooo hungry!

Good morning

Slow morning this morning, just a yawning away.  Its the side effects of the Robaxxin I had to take.  I attempted all of my pain relieving choices last night, stretches, ice, shower, and none of them worked.  I've been pushing it pretty hard physically this week and I guess it caught up with me.  *shrugs*  The good news is is I feel pretty decent today.  As long as I can wake up with the muscle spasms gone I'm good.

Samuel is playing his Scooby Doo game.  I broke down and got him a second one off of ebay--which means I should find the one I lost...in about 20 minutes.  LOL

Rob go the carpet out of our bedroom yesterday and the nail strips.  Their are still two strips of staples to pull, but he will do those Friday when he's not working.  He just got tired--and I so understand.  LOL

Tomorrow is payday and I will pick up a gallon of primer, and a gallon of color for the floor.  And then I will have a clean bedroom finally.  *yeah*

does anybody who speaks computer geek know why it keeps asking me if I want to use Active X control on my site?

I deleted all the extras (temporarily)  and it still asked it.

HMMMM

Help?

A oops.

Sometime in the last week the phone rang when I was outside.  Samuel answered it.  My bil had this conversation with him.

"Hi is your dad there."

"No he's in prison."

"Oh, okay I'll call back later."

My bil was highly amused, and thinks its a terrific way to get taken off of telephone sales peoples lists.
