Happy Birthday to you!!!

Today is my amazing husbands birthday. I am super bummed that I won't be spending the day with him. I love you Nate and miss you so much!

A week in the life of.... me oh and the kids

This has been such a great week. First I started it off with dinner at the Sayer's house. And I think she made the best pasta ever. Yummy. Nichole Spencer's husband planned a date night for her and I. We went to eat at GoodWood and then went to see "When in Rome." Hilarious might I add. Then I got to go to Anna's house and hang out. We set up the rock band and rocked out until the wee hours of the morning (okay it was until 9 p.m. and sometimes that feels like the wee hours of the morning). Unfortunately my great week was cute short because Ella got sick and still is BTW. With any luck she will start to feel better soon.Ella wanted to take pictures while we were at Anna's house and this is what I found on the camera after I trusted her with it. Such a funny little girl.Rockin out at the Rupp'sGirls night with Nikki DThe big girls had festival this weekend. I was supposed to go with them but with Ella being sick I wasn't able to go. I had the girls take pictures and video. Natalie got her picture done but Nichole only took video and it was too long to post on here.When I went to pick up Nichole Natalie played dress up Ella. Love it!And this little sweetheart of mine spent over 6 hours leaning over the table putting this puzzle together. I was so impressed with his patience and will power. I always give up on puzzles. He also made my bed and left me the most adorable little note on it. He is such a sweet boy.

Haunted house

My friend Beth is restoring the bottom level of a old hotel in town so that she can move her bookstore into it. The story goes that someone was murdered in here and maybe that is the ghost that haunts it. It also has a ghost up in the tower of the building that is not a good ghost and one named Arthur that likes to be said Hello to when you go inside. Beth gave me the grand tour of the place at 9:30 at night and it is super creepy. But it's not so bad during the day. I also drug all of my kids over so that I could help Beth with some of the remodeling. We were only there until 11 at night. We were exhausted. There was so much dust that got in our hair that Beth was able to make her hair stand on end without any hair products in it. It is a really cool building with some really neat original woodwork and stuff all around.

The kids had a blast running around the place while Beth, Nicole, and I did some work around the bottom level. We even put some of them to work. Not breaking too many child labor laws.
