June update

Hi, everybody.We have been so busy lately, but I have a little free time this am. Tonight we have motel reservations at Spirit Lake Casino so that should be fun. I've never stayed there and a friend of mine told me they liked it. It has a big pool and we have a whirlpool in our room along with two rooms. One for the munchkin, and one for us . I have so much family coming for the 4th that instead of attempting to sleep on the pull out sofa with the kids, we just decided to make the holiday a bit of a relaxing treat. And then Wednesday is........drum roll please......CRAB NIGHT! Or so we are both hoping, but it's been a long time since we've been there so who knows if it's changed or not.

We got Case for the summer a while ago and that's been going well. I think Adele will be very sad when he has to go to his other house and how do you explain that to a one year old? They play together and cause mischief together all day. In his words, she's his little "sweat pea". However, the newest addition to our family will be arriving shortly, within a couple of weeks, so that should help. But you can never predict how kids will get along. I'm hoping it will go well.

I haven't had a chance to get my art studio going downstairs. When things settle down, I should be able to. I'm so excited. I haven't picked up a paintbrush for years but I finally feel it's the right time to draw/paint again. Now, if I have any artistic ability left is another question but eventually I should get good at it again.That and my glass work. I'm also going to attempt a little abstract work.

The hubby has been all over ND doing the radio work for all the firetrucks and really busy. But so far, so good. Hopefully, we'll be able to take a vacation in the fall to see his dad in Washington but that all depends on when this big project is finished and how I can arrange my classes around it.

I will have to upload some pics soon. If you've never checked out Sherlock Park, it's awesome. It even has a fenced in toddler area. The only downside is the bathroom facilities. Two porta-potties that weren't in the best shape. And the pool, is within walking distance.

We haven't had our open house yet. I know I know....it's just we still have a bunch of stuff to unpack that is sitting in our basement and we're planning on some new furniture. But you can come over and see the place whenever.

Case got his bike stolen yesterday. He left it by the bushes in our yard and after the 15 min it took to go to the bank and back, it was gone. Lesson learned.
