At least they aren't real!



Friday at lunch time we found ourselves back at the London Library. Through out the summer they hold a Friday concert series. This time it was the world-known Arnett Howard. He usually puts on a great show that the kids love. I think most of the kids in our neighborhood went. We had box lunches provided by Madison Living and they were good! Mary Jo had picked out a nice spot in the shade for us to sit in. She too is pregnant and knows how much we like the shade. The kids were all given plastic Saxophone's to "learn" how to play. Can you imagine if all those kids at real ones to learn on? Oh my! They all loved their new toys and played along with the music. After Jodi and I took a large group of kids to the bathroom, that is an experience! Shea and I went up to the children's room and checked on the caterpillars. They had gotten so big in two days! They are really eating the food up that is in the containers. Of course, my camera was outside on the blanket, sorry no pictures of the caterpillars progress. After the concert Shea went home with Christy and they swam in the neighbors pool. I spent almost 2 hours in Sherwin-Williams. I had to pick up paint for each of the kids' rooms. Shea's was easy, she picked two pink colors from their color pallet. A light pink and a dark pink. For boy-boy's room I had to color-match the red in his theme. I took in the crib bumper but their machine couldn't read the fabric, the gentleman had to match it from scratch and that took almost an hour. The other color in that room will be a light tan. I'm anxious to see those on the wall. Since it was storming out this afternoon (Saturday), Shawn got started painting the pinks in Shea's room. It's looking good so far. I've been online researching horse borders. It's harder to pick that compared to the paint! I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend!
