Long Weekend of Fun!

We had a great long weekend! On Saturday, Steve and I went to see Book of Mormon. It was really good! Steve didn't care for "all the singing." Sigh. I did sneak a picture of him looking sour:

Sourpuss

But,  we had really good seats that, for some reason, were cheap!! Steve found them, so that was a win! Yay Steve!!

It was super hot all weekend, so Wm and I took Flip to the dog park early on Sunday, while Steve went to play in his soccer game. Flip and Wm were super cute. The park is really big, so Flip has acres in which to run and play with other dogs. But, any time Wm walked around, Flip would come tearing over and walk next to him, escorting him all around like, "and over here, you will see a delightful dog poo that I sniffed for a while earlier...feel free to enjoy a whiff yourself."

Best friends

Spotted something!

Wm is now officially on summer break! He got a 4.0 for his first year at Metro and had a GREAT year! He is actually a bit sad that he can't go every day. When he returns, he will be a big 7th grader! Oh! And Wm has earned one high school credit already!!

On Monday, Wm hung out with his neighborhood friend and then we went to the pool. It was great! A small neighborhood pool, but not crowded and down in a secluded, woodsy ravine. Surprisingly, Wm LOVED it. He had so much fun!! He remembered how to float and do the back stroke. We worked on the breast stroke and the crawl. His swimming is actually pretty good, compared to where he was! And, when we left, Wm goes, "next weekend, let's go right after lunch and stay all the way until dinner!" This is a HUGE change from how he felt about the pool just a couple years ago! Hopefully this means he will also be getting into the water on vacation...

Flip, too, is a little water baby! We take him over to Antrim and he chases sticks into the lake. It should be super fun to take him on vacation and watch him swim! After he got all gross at Antrim and the dog park, Wm and I took him to the dog "spaw" and gave him a bath and full blowout. He got a cow femur as a reward.

And, as always, Steve and I are plugging away on the house!! Here are the latest pics:

Master sink and closet before

After! Still have the new light fixtures to go up and paint the cabinet, but close!

Master water closet before: mauve-y taupe. Ew.

Master water closet after

Master Bedroom Before: old lady-tastic

After: Shot 1

After: Shot 2 (with Flip spread eagle on the bed)

After: last shot, leading into mater bath - and big window!

I'll tell ya, that king size bed is AMAZING. Wm sleeps in our old queen sized bed and it looks so tiny! It's like after I got the iPhone Plus and all the old iPhones looked comically small. Maybe I should move to Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas!! I was a little premature in my kitchen "after" shots because Steve decided to put in a new sink faucet and that thing is also amazing. I love it!!

And now...back to work...
