last weekend we went to the greek fest. lily had a fun time. they had 2 spacewalks for the kiddies and she LOVES to bounce. They didnt have much of a food selection. Bryan got a gyro and me and Lily shared feta fries (french fries with feta cheese on top) and a snowball. we didnt stay very long. there wasnt much to see or do and it was HOT. we parked on the median behind the greek church. so we get in the car, with Lily throwing a major fit b/c she didnt want to leave, and realize we are stuck in the mud. yes stuck, with our 2 year old in the middle of a kicking and screaming temper tantrum, which, of course, makes bryan start to have a meltdown. he likes to get worked up. i wonder where lily gets it from??? so in the midst of bryan cursing and hitting the dashboard and lily chucking her baby crocs at my head, i casually and calmly pull out my phone and call my brother who lives a few blocks away in lake vista. within 3 minutes he was there. i got our screaming lily into his truck and he took us to he and marshalls house so lily could calm down and cool off in their pool. they then went back to help bryan before he had a heart attack and they managed to push the car out of the mud. we have a jeep. you would think jeeps would be well equipped to get out of a little mud. oh well. we did had fun swimming after....and ate the best crawfish in the world. no really. marshalls crawfish is the BEST. i refuse to eat anybody elses b/c it always pales in comparison. its that good.
this weekend, we did some room re-arranging and decorating. i've been really crazy into cleaning, organizing, and just general home improvement lately. i feel like im nesting. its like a frenzy. weird. but i do enjoy it. so anway, as most of you know, our dining room has been lilys play room every since we moved in b/c her room cannot contain the enormous amount of toys the child has. so i thought i'd be a good idea to take the guest room and turn it into her playroom. we moved all of the bedroom furniture downstairs and moved all her toys and her tv and movies into that room. we also moved our dining room table and chairs back upstairs and they look great where they should be in the DINING room. luckily my dad was there to help with moving things. my next project is painting. i want to liven up the house a little. maybe with bright tropical colors. i have always loved that idea. i told bryan when we moved in that i wanted a jimmy buffett house...something you'd see in the carribean or key west...bright and colorful, tropical and fun. so thats my next mission. picking out colors. i'll post some pics of the new playroom and dining room when i get everything where i want it. here are some pics from the greek fest last week:
