Verdon Family Blog: ~April 2012: A Recap~

A Bit of This, A Bit of That

Have you all been wondering where I've been? Me too! I wish I knew if I was coming or going. I am stuck in this pattern of too much to do and not enough time and then realizing I have too much to do and trying to get it done, just to find out I missed something which means I have more to do and less time to do something else... the cycle has been continuing! It is tiring! But the good news? I have time right now to do this. So here it is, my recap in April in all of its glory. I hope you enjoy it, because it is a LOOOOONG one!

Golf- Dad Gives A Lesson

Dad shows Hunter how to "square up"

Hunter is strategically placing his ball for a stellar hit!

Project- Bathroom Tile

One thing that has been on my mind the past year or so was tiling the bathroom with vinyl tiles. We saved our money (Dave Ramsey Rocks!) and with a total of $50.00 and four hours I was able to transform my bathroom into the look that I was wanting so badly! I'm so happy with the way it turned out, and even better? I did it myself!

Sandbox Fun

One of the favorite activities for the kids to do during week nights or on the weekend is to play in the sand box up on our porch. They do have a big sand box at Nana and Papa's house, but the one by the house has really soft and dry sand. They like to dig right in! Abby's favorite part? Eating the sand and crunching it in her teeth! Yuck! But she finds it hilarious... can't hurt her right? Plus, after one or two bites, she is pretty much done and then starts spitting.. Making mud on her face! Silly peanut.

Hunter likes to dump the sand out of the box with his John Deere toys... this doesn't make Dad very happy!

Laughing about her eating the sand!

A Fun Weekend

This past weekend was a fun-filled and family-filled one! It was Gavin's birthday (Jake's oldest brother's son). We spent a lot of time outside and playing with the "kid cars". They brought Gavin's 4 wheeler (the one Hunter is driving below) and Kylin's Barbie Jeep. Hunter LOVED that they brought them. He was pretty much done with his Gator all weekend! Like I said to Jake, he loves his Gator, but these new ones were something NEW to drive! Hunter loved Gavin's birthday party. He finds them so much fun and Gavin even let Hunter open one present. Abby just loved being around people... she was BUSY BUSY BUSY like usual! The best part of the weekend? Seeing the two of them needing to be "Towed" back to the house because the Barbie Jeep ran out of juice!
