The girls are growing fast. Ruth is in pre-school at Kingsway four days a week and Leah is in 5th grade at Pleasant Valley. I have one more month on Paranorman and then animation is all done. Hopefully then I can have some time off and we can have a little vacation. We all need it.<br />

The van floor was crooked, and I had a bolt in my back all night, but the girls made it all worth while. We went to breakfast at the pig in blanket, and then off to the Oregon coast Aquarium. It was amazing, the girls had a blast looking at all the exotic fish living just out in our shore. After a few hours exploring there we hopped into the van and drove up to tillamook to visit the cheese factory. Although the factory tour was kinda lame the ice cream was amazing!! So good! Then driving back home we drove past my work and painted new foursquare lines. We had fun getting all messy. After the long journey the girls still had some energy to burn so we rode bikes to the park. Great adventurous day! </p>

It started with a drive to enterprise rent a car. We rented a mini van and made our way to mcminnville Oregon to the evergreen space and air museum. They built a new water park there and I have been wanting to take the kids there. They loved it. Then we journeyed on to Newport Oregon where we camped out at Beverly beach. Good day. </p>

Christie picked us up and went down to the ridgefield parade. The kids enjoyed all the free candy. There were so many people jammed into that little town. Later we went to my parents for a family bbq. Christie did some amazing face painting on everyone. That night Christie and her girls joined me and mine at our house for a campout. We set up a tent and made a fire in the backyard. After dark we got up on the roof and watched the crazy fourth of July fireworks. They were amazing this year. The neighbours didn't let us down. We watched the grand finale as we ate smores. Another fun day. </p>

Both cars are not working so we were left to biking everywhere. We rode to church, then out to lunch after, followed by a stop at the park, then home. Devan and his sister shelby came over and the kids all played in the pool. The water was warmer, but the sun wasn't as hot. Later we rode down to the park nearest us. Ruth used her cutness powers to gain control of two teenage girls. They played tag and other games. It was quite cute. We then rode around the neighbourhood and watched others light off their fireworks as the sun set. At home the kids and I sat on the roof of the house and ate popcorn and watched fireworks. It was a cool day.  </p>

After some asking around we brought home this 250 lb beast. It's fun and something that our playhouse has needed for quite some time. <br />

We added a 3x6 foot deck with collapsible table, a new ladder, chain railing, and a sliding pole. Leah painted the rest of the playhouse purple too. So now when the cousins come over there is alot more space for all the girls.<br />

Leah had a great birthday week. We had cake and presents at home on her birthday and a family get together later in the week. But on the weekend she had three of her friends over for a slumber party. They played at kids club, ate tons of pizza, watched movies, had a fashion show, danced in Jessica's studio, and stayed up late talking. The had lots of fun.Gabe (Gobbles) Sprengerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07931589325875610018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848726501147536105.post-50268290009609612612010-01-29T20:29:00.000-08:002010-01-29T20:29:30.534-08:00The Girls fight in Triad of DoomI pulled the book case away from the corner and let the girls play there. And what do you know. I created the perfect opportunity for the first fight between the girls. They were having fun, but it escalated. Go Dad!<br />

Then my Dad and I spent about 8 hours remodeling our storage shed into a dance studio. It has insulation, new laminate flooring, electricity, 6 x 7 foot mirror, internet (well that is still in progress, dumb wifi), heater. So now she can perfect her skills in private without kids (and a husband) staring.<br />

You sweet little...booger. Ruth has created this little game for herself, which she thinks is quite funny. Jessica's car has automatic locks, but we lost the remote. So you have to use a key to get in the driver door then hit the button to unlock all the other doors. Well Ruth, for several months now, ihas been big enough to reach the lock on her door. So when we go to the store and I move to get her out of the car she quickly kicks the lock and I have to walk back to my door and unlock all the doors. Though her orneriness (I don't know where she gets it) keeps her going and she quickly locks the door. My humor turns to frustration and I have to reach in through my door and hit the lock where my hand is bombarded by kicking feet. I have to move swiftly to unlock the door amidst flying size 2s and get the door open. She giggles but has a very serious look on her face. Anyway, she loves this little battle we have. I don't know if she does the same for Jessica or if she saves this little game just for her dad.

And like a vacation, we are getting a break from work, school, responsibilities and good health. OK so we are all home sick. And though it is not a vacation we are getting those breaks. <br />
<br />
Tuesday, Ruth started getting sick. Then Jessica and Leah on wednesday and me on thursday. Fevers, sore throats, tender skin and achy muscles. All so much fun. So the house is a wreck and the TV has received excessive use. But come end of this weekend we should all be OK to return to our normal lives. And bid a farewell to this awful vacation.Gabe (Gobbles) Sprengerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07931589325875610018noreply@blogger.com1
