staying busy

The dishwasher is installed, but there's a leak somewhere. So Kenton has been kept busy with his least favorite sort of home improvement: plumbing. :( We're hoping to figure it out soon, but it might mean taking it back in to get fixed. We'll see...

Finn looks like a pretty big kid here, huh? He amazes us all the time with what he can do & say & understand. Getting bigger for sure.

So we've put him to work! ;) He was having a blast playing in a sink full of soapy water. I'm pretty sure he tasted the bubbles too - he made a face that suggested they did not taste great.

Whatever keeps his attention for more than 5 minutes is definitely something to try. But when he started to pour water on the floor, we had to be done. :)

Today, we tackled a big project that I've been itching to do. We borrowed the Henry's truck & picked up two loads of bark mulch for all of the flower beds around the house. What a huge difference! I love how the dark mulch makes all of the plants seem greener & all of the flowers brighter. It went fairly quickly, for how much we had to do & we worked at super speed once Finn went down for a nap. I think he must be feeling a little icky still - he napped for nearly 4 hours! Sure helped us get a lot done. But hopefully he'll be feeling like himself again really soon.
