Originally we planned to take the kids to the fabulous windy city for a week away. We love Chicago and wanted to share it with the kids! We really want them to see how great it is and love it just as much as we do.However, we also had some things around the house that we needed and wanted to do. Paint the bedroom, make and paint the playroom, put up a fence, have a weekend get-a-way for my and the hubby, and perhaps acquire matching furniture for the living room! whew! well, we decided that we would stay here in the STL, get some projects done here and
take the kids to some local attractions. We accomplished everything on out list.
We painted our bedroom a beautiful shade of green:
The playroom is now a playroom and a nice sunny yellow. Yes, this is the only picture I have to show what color it is! look behind the adorable children and see the sunny yellow!
The swing set is out of the box and up for the kids, their playhouse was delivered pre-assembled too!

The fence is up!! We love the fence!! Ok - this is the fence truck - but trust me, the fence is up!!
We shopped and bought a new computer (YEAH!) - no pictures of it but this post was typed on it! And we bought a new computer desk, tv stand and medium bookshelf that match. no pictures of that either!
It was not all about the house though. We took the kids out for lots of fun days as well. We went to Gus' for lunch with Tia, Aly, Jade and Bella. Sorry, no pictures of that! Luckily Tia had the
mini van so Mia, Luca and myself could all squeeze in! i think it was Lucas' first time have a Gus' hot dog and he loved it!
We went to the children's garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The kids loved it. They could run and explore, and there was a splash area at the end.
We took a day out to join the Harris family for some swimming fun at Aquaport, which was so much fun! We did discover that the kids need more exposure to the water as they were not completely a fan of the water!!

Overall, it was the best decision and we had the best time! We were able to enjoy each other and accomplish SO MUCH!
