mother's day project

i have the GREATEST kids in the whole world!

my kids asked me what i wanted for mother's day. i told them that i just wanted them to all come over one saturday and help me with some 'projects'. so last saturday, they all came over to help. the girls washed all of my windows. tiff and mel taped and painted the two back doors. and, of course, they had alot of help (when you have babies, isn't there always alot of extra help?).

the weather was great and the kids had fun playing in the water and bounce house.

hunter was helping grandpa (i'm not sure what he is doing here, but i do know that he has a big wrench wrapped around his foot).

ryker helped haley plant flowers.

isley even helped. she was happy to be outside.

i thought chet and george were in my bedroom working, but when i went in to see what they were doing, this is what i found.

this is a mess of insulation

this mess, on my bed, is all of don's things that were in his closet.

and this is what i found on my dresser

these are ugly wires hanging from the television

in the end, this was the finished project. ~ they moved our t.v. to a different wall and hid all of the ugly wires.

so actually, i guess they really did work hard after all.

(we thought they were just in watching the sports channel.)
and, with only one 'extra' hole in the sheet rock, it looks really nice!

we had "papi" with us for the weekend, but i don't think he was too thrilled with all that was going on.

thanks kids! your time and efforts are the BEST mother's day present that you could ever give me. (and NO mel, next year i don't just want a flower pot!)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

YOU ARE THE BEST!!
