New House Fun

After Paul and Matt worked tirelessly on painting the house for 3 days, I finally was able to come with the boys to stay at the house on Thursday night. I spent the day cleaning while my mother-in-law watched the kids and the next day my mom and Angelica came to watch them and play gatekeepers. =) This is a picture of our first night sleeping in our new house. Yay!

There is so much room to run around that Matteo fell asleep right in the middle of his lunch.

Sebastian helped Mami by stacking the outlet/light plates. All the ones with 1 hole, 2 holes or 3 holes! Who say's a 2 year old can't be helpful!

Since Matteo had his own chair, Sebastian wanted to be strapped into his chair too. So he would sit in his car seat with his seat belt on and sing and chat with his brother. Fine by me!!!! Both kids were contained and I could clean!

We were so lucky to be home during the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Sebastian has been completely obsessed with all things space for a few months now so this was a BIG treat! We watched if from our backyard.

So excited in the moment, but then.....

After it was gone, he had a full out tantrum for about an hour because he wanted to be IN the space shuttle and it had left without him. Pretty funny in retrospect.... We captured a short bit of this on video for you, but this is before he got really, really mad....

Saturday my mom helped with the kids again (her and Matteo enjoyed an afternoon snooze) and we had a family work day. Our dads fixed toilets, porch doors, locks, ceiling fans and my mother-in-law scrubbed our kitchen floor. Wow! It was great to have all the help so we got a lot accomplished.

Later on that night, Sebastian was still full of energy. This kid loves to sing and he was especially into singing the "Glory to God" that we sing during Mass on Sundays. So here is his rendition. In case you don't know, the correct words at the end are "and peace to his people on earth."
