Out and About

Thursday my Grandma Jane came to visit. She brought McDonald's for lunch along with clothes and blankets for the kids. We are so thankful for everything! Zac was buddy-buddy with her. I said as long as you have food, he's your friend! This weekend it was nice to get out of the house for a bit with NO kids! Friday nights I work until midnight, so nothing exciting on those nights. By the time I get up and moving around on Saturday morning, it seems as though the day is half over! I'm still trying to get used to this crazy schedule. Saturday afternoon Grandma B watched the kids so Ryan and I could do a few errands, we had gift cards to spend! I bought a Shark Steam Mop- Deluxe Model. It cleans hardwood floors (or any type of hard floor) by steam! Just fill the tank with water, it heats up in 30 seconds, and you're ready to go. It works great! The floors were so dirty from the dogs tracking in stuff (thanks to the snow melting, now it's a muddy mess in our backyard) and the kids making messes! I like not using any cleaning solution, although I will have to get used to it. Ryan went to Lowe's and spent his gift card on stuff for the yard. Then we enjoyed a quick treat at Culver's- I had an Oreo concrete and Ryan had an M&M concrete. Yummm, those are soooo good! We visited with Grandma B for a bit, then it was time to eat dinner, and get the kids ready for bed. I enjoyed those few hours with just Ryan even by doing those simple errands! Sunday afternoon my friend Melissa and I visited our other friend Lindsey. She's going to be a mommy to a baby boy in less than 2 months! I'm so excited for her! While I was gone, Ryan and Zac spent some quality time together... they picked up dog poop in the backyard with the pooper scooper! Hahaha!
I caught Zac in mid-climb on top of his bed...
Hammering the wall with his tools.
BUSTED!
Nessa grabbing the mini dustpan from her sister.
What a way to start out the day! Zac was sitting naked to the right of this shot, pulling on his SpongeBob underwear. He pulled every wipe out of the tub.
And dumped powder all over! Grrr....!!
Baby Val is just chilling in her highchair!
Wrestling time! Val is getting Nessie ( we've started to call Vanessa this too)
Peek-a-Boo Valerie!
Diaper girl Val!
Zac dumped pepper all over Ryan's plate. We can't take our eyes off that boy!
He loves his new jammies from Great-Grandma Jane.
