The weather has been great this week, so we are trying to walk as many errands as we can. It was a little windy, but the kids didn’t mind.
We stopped off at the Downtown Pavilion to take a little rest and get some pictures too.
The roses are in bloom all over town, and they are lovely.
On our walks we always walk by “the castle”, it is a beautiful Victorian home. It is also home to an amazing garden.
Their Calla Lilies are absolutely beautiful.
Thade has almost reached his goal of reading one hundred books for the Blooming Reader program at school. As of yesterday he was at number ninety one. I am really proud of my big kid for setting a goal and getting it done too.
He had me gather up all the books he hadn’t read yet for him to read last weekend.
Dylan also wanted a bin of books too. He is anxious to start reading. We will be working on it this Summer.
Of course Agnes needed a little bin too. Her bin is filled with board books. She loves to flip through them, and then say “the end”.
After the weekend…
Thade made a pretty good dent in his bin. I’m sure he will meet his goal this weekend.
We have started to work on the utility room/downstairs bathroom, and so far it is looking good.
We started on the small bathroom first. We pulled up the old vinyl flooring, and removed all of the wallpaper.
We taped, primed, and painted. James installed new bathroom hardware too.
I still need to make up my mind on the flooring, and find a shower curtain that I like. I do love the paint color though, it is light and bright in the little bathroom.
I also put up a little unfinished quilt in Agnes’ window. It was from my mom’s antique quilt collection, and I thought it made the perfect curtain. Agnes loves it too.
Dylan loves to color.
Agnes does too.
Thade has been extra busy keeping up with his homework and reading for the Blooming Reader book challenge. The goal is to read thirty books, but Thade is determined to finish at least one hundred.
He is well on his way too. Today he finished book #58.
The weather is beautiful today, so I’m taking the morning off to go and play with the kiddos.
It is far too pretty to be indoors this morning.
