Fun at the Gym

Henry and I are really enjoying participating in our local Early Childhood PTA group. They have tons of fun activities planned for moms and kids that are close to our house. A couple of weeks ago, we went to a little gym that was open for just our ECPTA group. He had so much fun. The most fun he had was with a pool noodle and a balloon. I think I might have to get some of those for summer!

New Shower

Our master bath was pretty shabby - very dated and lots of missing grout. And it was leaking water. So we decided to jump in with both feet and completely rebuild it. I found a tile company through our neighbors...who also have 20+ year old homes and have had lots of work done. Two neighbors recommended this company which is owned by a woman - I loved working with her. She gave great advice to someone who doesn't have the gift of decorating! She also suggested we do a relatively cheap tile surround around our old tub to tie it all together.

Here are our before pictures...

Leo explained that the house is like the human body. The insulation is the tissue and the pipes are the blood vessels. Genius.

Saturday activities

Last saturday, Leo and I went to a free clinic at Lowe's to make a coin bank. He had a great time!

Then Saturday night, Todd and Leo went to a matchbox car race for his YMCA Adventure Guides group. They had met previously to make the car, and then they painted it at home. Leo had a good time, I think, but Todd's official verdict was "pretty boring." I don't know why he said that - I can really sense the racing excitement in these pictures! ;)
