After lunch at Hibachi we enjoyed the nice weather and took the kids to the sculpture park.

The first grade put on a hip hop performance Friday. Evan was so cute.

We got to help Ted celebrate his birthday.

I made shirts for the kids last night.

Look what I made for my cameo.

Wes likes to watch/play on the kindle with Grace.

Wes is really rolling around. He used his feet/legs to push himself toward his toy today.

Wonderful hubby bought me storage from ikea over the weekend! I've spent the last few days reorganizing and using my cameo (cutting machine) to label the containers. Grace loves my new craft studio. I have one box with paper scraps so while I'm arranging and labeling she makes lots of valentines at the new center tables. Ray is also hooking up my Mac mini to my tv/monitor. So now a tv that didn't get a lot of use is now dual function. And Ted also made me a great supply organizer. I love my new space! Everything is so much easier to find and I have lots of space to work now.

I bought a new cutting machine. I used it to etch our salad bowl!

Wes is starting to roll around the living room. So we started baby proofing corners. We'll have to get a gate before too long. On Friday I went through the kids toy bucket and only kept Wes safe stuff in the living room.

Two down.

I'm making the kids zipper bags to play with. Here is Evan's. I also made him an apron out of the same material to use when he and Grace make their own dinner on pizza night.

Wes has finally figured out rolling over. He can roll both ways. Yesterday day while at a play date with Grace's, friend Callie he kept rolling across the floor. He's also started pushing up pretty high with his arms while on his stomach. And he can spin himself around using his arms. And he uses his legs a little. He's going to be crawling before we know it.

Gracie's 5th birthday party!

We took the kids, Mom, Lins, and Piper to incredible pizza last night. Ray, Lins, and the kids played laser tag. Lins got third place. Lins, and the kids and I rode the bumper cars. Ray, Evan, Grace, and I played this crazy version of air hockey where they drop tons of tiny pucks out of slots on the sides. It was nice to finally be able to play a game with the kids as a family.

My new tables came in! My amazing husband put them together and brought the chair down from our bedroom for the seating area until we get the chair that's going in there. I definitely have more counter space now. And the kids love it. They keep using the new stools and decided to have a stamping party. I still need shelving/storage in between the desk and on the walls but it's a definite improvement on the old arrangement. :)

Ray's testing out the new monitor he ordered. Although it has two noticeable chips on the screen so we're having it replaced.

Yay! Wes is finally taking longer naps!

So we finally listened to the comments of our house guest. We started by moving the bed to the basement. So now it's more private. Next step is to build a frame for the Murphy bed. We still want to keep it as a play space for the kids the majority of the time. It also helps that with the guest bed out of my craft studio, I can start creating more crafting space and increase my supply storage. We ordered two new tables tonight!

One more because they're so pretty.

Yay! My Copic markers from Japan made it in a month early!!!

Uh oh! Grace has a stomach bug and has been throwing up. She keeps saying she doesn't want the stomach bug any more. Poor kid. We have to postpone her party. She's not too happy. We're hoping the rest of us don't catch it. But we can't keep Evan and Grace away from each other, much less Wes.
