Ack! It has been a while since I updated. We moved in, very little damage, as always drama. Oh well. It is all good. The kids and I leave James here on Sunday for a week long trip to CA which should be interesting.
We took a mini vacation to Austin this week where we saw the bats fly out from underneath the Congress St. bridge. It was definitely something the kids will remember and they will have interesting stuff to write about when they do their "what I did during summer vacation" papers. LOL We even got to stay in the Presidential Suite of Embassy suites which was pretty cool. Plus you add the "managers receptions" and free breakfast they offer we spent very little on food. On the way home we stopped by the Texas Rangers Museum (as in Walker Texas Ranger, not the baseball team), which was really kinda cool.
On the way to Austin we checked out my fathers house in the lovely Dr Suess town of Pflugerville. It needs a lot of work. There are tons of ideas that popped into my head, but in the end it really isn't worth the money I would have to spend to fix it up, keep up the maintenance for another 10 years, just to get money out of it later. I can probably get a good bit of money out of it now so I am considering selling it as is now...hopefully the renters will want to buy. I know they don't want to move.
This morning we were woken up by J1 who had colored with permanent marker all over the leather couch in our living room and all over himself. I have gotten about half of it out with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...slowly slowly. I don't think my son really knew the wrath of mommy until this morning and daddy is very disappointed as well.
Just been trying to catch up and get ahead of work today as tomorrow will need to be spent doing laundry and packing. Haven't figured out how to pack up the kids clothes without them knowing we are going somewhere yet.
Anyway, enjoy the pics!
