Busy Saturday

This morning it was 27 degrees outside when I woke up to take Schnitzel out (a friend's dog that we are watching).  It wasn't much warmer when I took a walk with a few neighbors at 8am.  However, the day warmed up to close to 60.

I had the boys out of the house all day today so Chris could work on sanding and priming the wood work in the playroom/dining room.  

Hunter had a basketball game.  He does really well on defense.

He actually got a rebound and dribbled it down the court.

Three of Hunter's friends on his team. (Lucas and Kyle, friends from preschool, and Jason)

Lunch with some friends.

After lunch we headed to Marbles.  It's usually pretty crowded on the weekends, but today had more people there then I have ever seen.  If that had been my first time going there I probably would have never returned.  Kids were unattended and acting crazy, the exhibits were super crowded.  I have a feeling a bunch of kids got lost there today.

Austin and I wanted on line for him to take a few swings on these rings.  Right before his turn a little boy stepped in front of him and after watching a ton of other kids just budge in line in front of others I told him to go get to the end of the line.  Then right as he was able to step up this little girl (who had already cut in line) walked up and tried to take the rings.  So, I took the rings back and told her to stop budging and gave them back to Austin.  

Thankfully the boys were content for awhile playing with the water tables.  I was even able to sit down.

Outside they got to see what happened when you mix yeast, peroxide, water, and dish soap.

Finally, I had to bribe them out by buying them a cheap toy from the gift shop.  Two hours was enough!

Schnitzel had been at his own house while Chris was working, so we went to pick him up.  He was all over the boys on the ride back to our house.

Just about finished with the primer.  You can see what color the wood work was by looking at the windows.  We didn't sand or paint them because we'll be replacing them soon.  Tomorrow we should be able to get the two coats of paint on the trim and this room will be ready for the wall unit to be installed!

We had plastic hanging in three different spots so the dust from the sanding would not get into the rest of the rooms.

Flowers Chris brought home for me last night.

 Tired after a long day...I'm going to get these guys to bed and head to bed myself soon!
