Home Improvements!

I love the summer. BBQ's, swimming, babysitters during the day. We've been working on some home improvements around the house. Or I should say Josh has been working on home improvements when he's not busy at work or playing with the kids. When you own a 32 year old home there is always something that needs to be done. Here are some pictures.
This is the only picture of the dining room light before Josh spray painted it that I could find.

$6 worth of spray paint and we have a whole new chandelier. It was so easy and takes hardly any time to dry. I wonder why we didn't do it years ago. Now I just need to get a medallion to go around the top.We also had our house painted. Here is a before picture.And After. I chose white which is probably no big surprise to you all because I love white. It's swiss coffee so it's not blinding, and I just love it. It's so clean and my patio in the backyard feels so much bigger. I just love going outside now and can't wait to decorate outside with plants.

Sophia pretending to be pregnant. She was hosting a baby shower for herself. She said kids were invited but if they started to act up she would grab them by their shirts and drop them on their bums by the mailbox. Then they would run and bang on the door crying to come back in. Maybe we need to take a break from Tom and Jerry.

Me and my sweet girl

Jack

Jack, Jack attack. He loves to give Jonah kisses and love on him. Jonah doesn't always appreciate it.

For Fathers day Sophia and I surprised Josh with brunch out on the patio. We had stuffed french toast with strawberries and whip cream. It was awesome. We just love you Josh. He is such a wonderful father and we are so lucky to have him.

The kids gave him this shirt which he proudly wore.

Sabotage!

I had barely left our driveway when I heard what sounded like a metal chain dragging from my car so I pulled over got out and checked but couldn't see anything. I got back in the car and drove a little further but could still hear the noise so I turned around and went home to have Josh take a look. Sophia told me that her and Jack were looking through the holes in my tires so I asked Josh to take the front passenger tire off to see if Jack had put anything in the hub cap, and this is what we found when he took the tire off.

A very large bolt
