We had a fun, fun time for the neighborhood party. This is the fifth year. The first year I was pregnant with Caitibug, and so she's technically been at every one. I did get to put a new little baby to sleep last night - cutest little girl. She was so fun to hold. I had to steal her away from Jenn, however. She is a doll!!!  Before the party we had a fun dinner at Jenn's house. Just the girls. The boys were working hard in programming land. Paul got home right before the party was over. Michelle asked him where his streamers on his bicycle were (Suzuki Boulevard). That was very funny. We had the usual bike parade and it was Caitibug's first on a real bike. No tricycle here this year. She kicked my butt around the neighborhood - she's a fast little rider. Who knew?? She of course had the best time with her friends. Yes we have had a lot of fun. We also had weekend birthday party fun at Jenn's so it's been a full extended weekend. We've been doing T

Okay... how could I not share this on here??? I'm never like this, am I?

So a few weeks ago I went out and tore up my mom's carpet. And then that Saturday we proceeded to cover up these beautiful hardwood floors with carpet again - and blue carpet. Even worse. Now since then I've painted most of the room and this weekend I'll finish that. We did a sort of minty green on the walls and it actually doesn't clash with the blue. Surprising. And the new furniture will come the following Saturday on the 26th. That is going to be great for my mom. She deserves it. On another note I really wanted to say to someone yesterday - "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" Unfortunately that doesn't work as well with adults as it does with children so I just kept it to myself. I think we live in a society where entitlement has just gone a bit too far. Get over yourselves and start to take responsibility and learn some accountability. Right???

We are finally get some great rain. I went out jogging/walking this morning and it was fantastic! I miss Seattle. I wish I could pack up us and the Hansen's and just move there. I'd have a whole lot more fun with this jogging stuff there than here. Caitibug is gearing up for her gymnastic performance in a week. We have one last week of practice and then next week is the show. I'm so excited for her. We're going to do summer gymnastics as well along with swimming lessons. I also would love to fit in some tennis lessons near the end - but am I just being a crazy mom??? maybe... we all know I'm crazy. We went a few weeks ago to the zoo. First with her friend and then another day with her daddy. That was THE BEST day. Perfect weather and I think daddy and Caitibug had the best time ever. She's really become quite the daddy's girl these days. We also went to the Splash Pad the other day. That wasn't bad either. Clear skies and a little heat which was p
