OMGosh!

So I don't know what got up my rear and made me decide to clean up the kids rooms yesterday but evidently the good Lord wanted me to find what I did. Low and behold in the bottom of Boo's closet, creeping up the wall was mold...but it didn't stop there. Our friend (and carpenter!) stopped this morning to take a look at it for us and see just what was going on, only to find that it wasn't just in the closet. It was along all of the exterior walls in the new edition, in all of the rooms. Talk about wanting to cry!

So to fix it...he measured up 16" from the floor, took a saw and cut out all of the drywall and pitched it. Then pulled up the insulation so that everything could start to dry out. Sprayed everything with some sort of mold killer. Stuck the dehumidifier and a fan in the crawl space to dry things out and that's about it. Stink!

Worst part is we were supposed be having KB's birthday party here this weekend but I don't think that's gonna happen. And I thought it would still be alright and we'd just keep as much of it outside as possible, but checked the weather and we're supposed to have scattered thunderstorms all day on Saturday. UGH! Gonna have to move it to the Pub or something!

So for now that's all the moldy oldy news from this house.

Oh, and I have my first Tupperware party tomorrow night! SO excited!

I SO hate this weather! All the kids are sick-but the doctors say it's just allergies and a full nights sleep in this house is few and far between. Humidifiers running, everything smells like Vicks VaporRub, there are tissues strung through-out the house and I've seen more snot than there is water in the ocean. UGH!

KB turned 5 Friday and he had to let EVERYONE know that it was his birthday! He loved his cake that Tress made for him and he was nice enough to share it with everyone! Stinks that he had to go to his dads and that we couldn't really do much for his birthday but we do have a party planned for next weekend for him!

We managed to get a little bit of shopping done for him but boy is it hard to buy stuff for these guys anymore. They've got everything they could possibly want. So we were trying to find something for outside but all we could really come up with was a bike helmet and pads. He's riding his bike alot more now and he could really use these!

And instead of putting them in the cart Peanut thought that she had to wear it through the store. (Explaining the picture above!) She wore it, backwards, with the pads hanging off the other side! I can't tell you how many people stopped and looked, pointed and just laughed! She was the little chunk of good humor in Walmart last night!

So this week I have the task of getting things ready for his party and the girls are in charge of games! So lets just PRAY for good weather! I feel like KB usually gets the short end of the stick when it comes to most things so I'd really like for him to have a great bday party!

Well, back to the land of runny noses! I'll try to keep up with this a little better! Just been so busy!
