It seems I now have a bit of peace and quiet before Violette gets her last feeding. Things around here have been going very well. Tom celebrated his 30th birthday on May 13th. He didn't want anything beside his favorite pizza, a large extra cheese pizza from Mancino's. Because we are doing a lot of things around the house, including a patio that was put in this week, no presents were given. When I was younger I never understood how my parents would consider projects and big purchases gifts to each other. I now understand it!
We painted the former nursery/Max's room this weekend. I let Noelle pick out the colors and because her name is Noelle Rose and her sister is Violette, pink and purple were chosen. I wasn't sure about the purple because it has the tendency to be, well, too purple. It turned out great! The purple is pale and the pink is also a little pale and they go very well together. We still have to paint Noelle's former room blue for Max and that will happen, probably Monday. As of now Max is sleeping in the purple/pink room! Poor guy. Noelle was quick to point out and cry, while whining, "It's too girly for Max!". Good thing he is too young to really care.
Our beloved Uncle Fish passed this weekend too. Noelle was very upset and we told her we would flush him down the toilet and he would go to Fishy Heaven. She promptly looked at us and said, "He won't go to Heaven. He will go down the pipes and out to the septic tank.". Tom just had to teach her what happens when you flush the toilet! After she was calm she decided we needed to get another fish and name her Tinkerbell. A few days later she told Tom, "Tinkerbell will die too and then the garbage truck will eat him up.". I ended up putting Uncle Fish in the garbage. It's funny how children's minds work. We have been enjoying the weather immensely. Aunt Ceecee came to visit Tuesday evening and stayed until Wednesday evening. We picked up lunch and headed out to a local park. The kids had a ton of fun. The park had a small lake and while dipping our toes in it Max ran full force into the deep and, of course, went right under. I scooped him up and he kept saying, "wet, water, wet, water!". The Little Dude has NO fear! I have no pictures because the camera batteries were not charged. The pictures would have been cute, bummer.
Tomorrow we head up to Traverse City...finally! I am extremely excited to see my Dad and Brother, which we haven't seen since Thanksgiving! This will also be our first big trip with all three children. I'm sure it will go fine and we will all have a wonderful time. Here are some pictures of the kids having fun over the past week! Enjoy:
I hope everyone enjoys the wonderful three day weekend!

Cute pictures! I knoq what you mean about projects for gifts. My dad once bought my mother a new toilet as their anniversary gift. Talk about romantic. We have also had to deal with the flushing of fish and then replacing. Sadly we had to flush them again within a few days. I can't wait to hear how the trip to Traverse City went.
