We went to our twin nephew's birthday party today which was great they had the party at a beautiful park very quite which was great to hold a birthday party. There was a pretty waterfall with rocks and running water below it so we took ds down there and took some pictures. I only got about 20 down there and these are my favorites.
Here we are day 5 of our vacation and just now getting to paint with color!!! It has been a tiring staycation (LOL hubby came up with that one) but we're liking the color more and more and are happy to be done!!! Well except we still need a second coat...Hopefully we'll accomplish that today.

Anyone want to share the blog tools they use???
===COMMENT MANAGERS===
Here is one I LOVE called Disqus.
It is a comment manager it turns your comments on a post into a
threaded gropuing. It also allows you to manage all your comments (on
multiple blogs, too) from one control panel. I love that it also
integrates with Plaxo (www.plaxo.com)
where I feed my blogs into. If someone leaves a comment on my blog post
within plaxo it will show up on my blog for others outside of plaxo to
read.

===PUBLISHERS===
I also use Scribefire (for Firefox) and love love love publishing to all my blogs through scribefire.

When posting photos at home I will sometimes use Picasa (free photo manager) you can easily edit your photos then publish them to your blogger blogs.

Anyone else have any tools they want to share.

Well we're on day 3 of vacation day 2 of working on the kitchen. A friend of ours, Beth, a professional painter gave us some pointers on where to get started today. The walls from taking the wallpaper down were beyond SCARY!!! We weren't sure what the heck we were thinking LOL!! She instructed us to prime over everything and that will show us better where we need to spackle and sand etc.
