before the rain came...

We've had a surprising amount of rain and cloudy weather for our area this past week. Its been blustery and chilly out and both of the kids have slight colds. Seems strange to be keeping them inside with colds when its nearly June. ...But before the rains came we had some very warm weather!!! Since I didn't have the pool out yet we filled a couple big bowls of mine with water and since we conveniently still had a sled out hanging around from winter we filled that as well. I gave em a few cups and spoons and the had a blast!

Our redneck side showing a little. :D

Doing her best to make the most of her small swimming pool. :D

So while the kids were busy with the water... i was busy with the paintbrush! Finished painting all the trim for the playhouse and Mr. Wise Guy worked on getting the roof finished.

I also got the ceiling primed...well, at least half way primed.

A little someone got into my primer bucket during lunchbreak and apparently stepped in his mess. (Note the heel prints going in circles) He left his tracks around the lawn as well.

This shows our progress to date.

Oh yeah, and I finished another dress that weekend also.

I have finished a few other sewing projects now too but haven't taken any pics of em. I still have several things I'd like to finish in the near future though... while i'm on a roll in the sewing department. :)

I filled a little wading pool for them on the second hot day. This is what they were actually doing while Mr. Wise Guy and I were working on the playhouse together. The pics are from the day before when I was painting all the trim. Enjoy!
