Vacation!!

So this week Kurt is off work and we are on vacation. Kurt says he is on vacation and that everyday is vacation for me. Apparently he has not been a stay at home mom every day of every week of every month for the past 3 1/2 years. Anyway, my life is pretty nice though. We are saving our pennies for our big Disney Trip this fall, so we're not taking a summer vacation. But we're trying to do fun stuff this week with the kids and eat out here and there. Just have fun together as a family. We are getting tons of our To Do List completed - I even was up on a ladder today cleaning our windows!

We did take a little break today and went to an area park where they had Kids Music. We got some sandwiches and gave Kurt a little taste of what our summer days are like.

Tonight we had dinner with our neighbors Tim & Ellen on the deck, while the kiddos ate at their picnic table. Since Monday, we've been watching the new neighbors who just moved in painting and updating. We've been waiting for the right time to go over and introduce ourselves, thinking they'd take a break, but they keep working hard. Anyway, we went over and met them tonight and were much relieved that they were very normal and will fit in on our little commune. Julia is excited about meeting their little girls, but I have a feeling that they won't want a 4 year old tagging along with them all the time. Anyway - it's such a relief that the home is finally occupied and the new people seem friendly. Although it has been weird seeing such activity over there since it has been vacant for so long and even more strange that it isn't Steve & Kelly. That will take some time to get used to I am sure.
