This week was a busy one for us, especially because we don't get out much during the week with two little ones. We started the week with a fun shopping trip with Mommy's friend Sally. I was a little worried that it would be a disaster taking both kids shopping, but with Sally's help it was actually quite fun. I can't speak for Sally though :). On Tuesday our cousin Shawn came and laid carpet on our basement stairs. He did an awesome job, and we are very happy to have stairs that no longer look like a dark pit. Bob also put up drywall and did a great job with finish work and painting! I put a few pictures of the finished product for you to see. Thank you Grandma Gaerte for helping with the kids while the carpet was being laid!

Aunt Jess and Uncle Tedd also came over on Tuesday for our weekly BL party. While the girls watched BL the boys fixed Bob's muffler. Thank you Tedd for helping Bob. The way things are going, that truck might last forever.

On Wednesday Ben and Maggie got to visit Ben and Nick's house while I had an appointment. Ben enjoyed playing with all of his old buddies, and Maggie had her first nonfamily babysitting experience. She only cried for about half of the time, so it wasn't too bad.

Here are some fun bath pictures from earlier this week. I got them in reverse order. Can you tell I am new to this blogging thing. Oh well.

Maggie's second tooth came through this week, so she now has two tiny bottom teeth. She is becoming such a big girl. She is almost six months old already!

This weekend we have two big birthday parties to attend. Both Uncle Justin and Grandpa Keefer will turn one year older on Sunday. Happy birthday to both of them. Ben can't wait to play with all of his cousins.
