Last week was so crazy! We had swimming lessons, Dr. visits, an apartment that needed to be cleaned and fixed so the new tenents could move in, and inbetween all that we found some time to play.

On Sauterday we went boating. The wind was blowing a little but we still had fun. Riley went for his first tube ride and loved it. He tells everyone he went wakeboarding though because that is what daddy did and he tries so hard to be like his dad.
We had a ton of work to do at the apartments. One of the walls in the family room was an old ugly wood wall. We mud and painted so it would look like a normal sheetrock wall, and it had been probably 10 years since the place had been painted. So we re-painted the whole place. It took us all day Firday to paint, even with my father-in-law, and brother-in-law helping. We also had old tile window ledges that were falling apart, so Nicolas spent two days triming the windows. Thankfully the apartment was left pretty clean, so we only had to spent a few hours cleaning. Then today we finished up with new carpet in the front room. It was alot of work but it looks great, almost like a new place.
Riley came with me a couple of hours, but for the most part my mom or mother-in-law watched him. But he thought it was fun to come and "help". We gave him a dry paint brush and he walked around for a while and "painted" the walls. He would also grab the mop and mop the floor. If only I thought it was as fun as he did.
With the extra pieces of blinds Riley and Grandma had fun writing words.
Lets just say after painting all day you start to get board.


My sister-in-law, my cousin-in-law, and I all took a parent toddler swimming class together. The boys all seemed to enjoy playing in the pool. Riley's favorite part was when we got to work with the life jackets. He loved to just float on his back and relax.
