a little blogging break

we have been very busy the last week, but i have had no time to post about all of the fun things we've been doing! and i am still unable to do a full post of all the activities just yet because winkflash is having another flat-rate book sale! if you remember awhile back, i did a book of our sabbatical pictures and i had to take another blogging break back then. these deals are just way too good to pass up!

this time around it couldn't have come at a better time! as soon as i finished editing the photos from ross' graveside service mitch said, "you should put a book together for the barfuss family." i had also been thinking the same thing. that night, i looked in my email box and there was an email from winkflash telling me about the flat-rate sale ending may 30th! i couldn't believe it! i was so excited!

so, this is what we have been up to in between working on the book~~

*nani and lala have been morphing from cocoons into beautiful butterflies in their dance recitals:



*we've been planting some of these:

*while discovering this cute little guy in our flowerbed:

*the girls and i have enjoyed a bit of this:

*while mitch has been working on this:

(that is the back of our refrigerator in the middle of our kitchen)

*mitch is replacing the wood floor under our refrigerator with tile because our lovely kenmore piece of crap refrigerator from sears has been leaking! (we highly recommend staying away from both that store and that brand! but that is a whole separate story!)

*and because of this project i sadly have been unable to do any of this:

however, we did manage to get in a game of this:

and a couple of games of this:

and, of course, two games of this :

all before 2 am monday morning!!

so, i will tell you more once i have caught up on some sleep and i finish the winkflash book! oh, and i guess i should think about doing those dishes, or at least have the girls do them!
