Things to do when it rains.............

Ok so I uploaded backwards, so start at the bottom and work your way up...This ingenious edge brownie pan was something new I just got in the mail today! What perfect timing too, right after the tax fiasco, when I'm feeling blue brownies are always a good pick me up. And I am pleased to say it was all that the reviews stated and more!! I can't wait to make bannana bread in it.

During the kids nap we decided to try and do our taxes online ourselves. We have an appointment set up with a new accountant for next month but our friends told us about this website that is great and only costs 16 bucks for both state and federal. So we really want to buy a tent trailer and decided just to do it online to get our refund faster. It turns out we won't be buying a tent trailer this year, instead we will be writing a check to the federal government for $5200. Nice huh. I can't express through words how surprised and upset I am. The picture above describes it nicely.

We got him new bear sheets and it was all very highly anticipated. Thanks for the bed Grandma Lorraine and the bedding Aunt Jan!! We put him in the bed with his silkie, milk, and train. After an hour of him screaming no big boy bed!! I went in, put in back into the pack and play (set up just in case) and he went right to sleep. Ok so maybe tomorrow??
Then we put up the rails for Cole's new big boy bed!!



Savannah loved being able to use her princess umbrella. That was probably the highlight of the whole trip for her!!

Look, that's Mary's mom!! Savannah said about the statue.
This morning was supposed to a zoo day since its Mike's only day off this week, but since it was pouring so hard we decided to go to Mission Santa Barbara instead. It was a cool field trip..
