A visitor!!!

Well since I'm not going to be here when it's Father's Day on Sunday I thought that this past Sunday we would treat Sean as if it was. So the kids and I got up early on Sunday morning and made him some french toast. As I was going up the stairs with the tray of toast and champagne glass of chocolate milk I spilled of course! It took all of my control not to scream and wake him up! Anyway...dabbed it up a bit and moved on as that was not going to be the focus of my morning! So anal me...we woke him up and ate on the floor so as not to spill on my bed since the kids had their own french toast too. I do NOT trust them! Then for dinner I slaved and made my first pies! Strawberry which I have been craving and they were GOOD! As you can see the one on the right is my first attempt at crust and the one on the left was much better! I'm so proud of myself I can't even tell you!!! So I got him some tickets to see "Blue Man Group"...they are coming in September to the K-Rock Center here in Kingston and he's always wanted to see them in concert. It hasn't been on the top of my list but after looking at their website it looks like it'll actually be a really cool show!
We drove to Syracuse yesterday to pick up Dan from the airport. When we left Kingston it was 30 degrees( 86F) and in Syracuse 2 hours south it was 10 degrees hotter! What the? Anyway the drive home was beautiful as usual above the thousand islands and Dan was hating that he didn't bring his bike out here. Oh well, now he has to do more work for us!:)

So we went to HOme Depot last night to get the remainder of tile stuff that we needed and this morning he had to run back for a couple of things. This pic is from this morning when it was raining and Taylor was doing a good job of getting in his way! She loves to wear this helmet around the house...I guess if she's going to wear something it might as well keep her safe!

High five uncle Dan the Man!!!
Here is a before pic of him posing for me...I'm excited to see what happens next!
So Sean is on call tonight so we might head out to the mall later for some eats. We'll see...

Oh ya, one more thing...of course this basement thing couldn't go without mishaps or it would be too perfect for me! I noticed some water in a corner on the cement this morning and just thought maybe it was from the rain. They don't put rain gutters on the houses here standard so ours has selective areas where there are rain gutters...this corner is not one of them...but weird that it would just now leak? Anyway...we had to cut a hole in the drywall to check it out as the drywall was starting to drip. Luckily it's nothing too serious...(big sigh of relief!!)...the water on the side of the house where my hose connects is leaking so it's a pipe thing that the plumber can fix. Sucks, but just a small bump I guess...could be worse...the carpet could be installed already!

I'm finding myself quite the bum as I still haven't showered since Sunday...yes I know...gross...but I seriously am too lazy...wrap a bandana around my head, throw on some deodorant and some clean clothes and I'm good to go! Hmm...I guess today I will...here's to smelling better!:)

p.s. Mom I miss not being able to talk to you...what's with turning off your phone just becuase you're sailing on the ocean blue?

I'm jealous of your good weather! It's raining & cold here this week. Blah. But...I haven't showered since SUnday either (and it's now TUESDAY). I plan on it this afternoon. It's been a crazy couple of days. I live in a pony tail because of the rain...and technically everytime I go outside I get showered so that is my excuse. lol.

Love the pic of Dan. He can't possibly take one without some silly pose! I haven't seen that guy FOREVER. Tell him I said hi.

Oh...and you aren't wierd or anal! If I spill something on my floor it ruins my mood for the day! lol

That's too cute with the helmet. Silly girl! Remind Dan to take pics for me, too. He was telling me all about where you live and it sounds pretty.

Ok, first of all, you've probably been waiting anxiously for my comment on this post right? Those pies?...YUMMY looking I'll say! They look like exactly what I'm craving right now. They seriously look fab and Taylor? I can't believe how grown up she seems now. Walking and everything? She is so sweet. I miss Dan.
