Mary Flair The Jellybean Update

We have been working crazy hard to get Mary Flair ready for "The Great Neighbor Escape" over spring break. Moab and Grand Canyon with 2 neighboring families and friends or bust.

It is amazing how much primer and paint such a small space can soak up.

We have spent hours upon hours priming and painting her interior with a good friend.

Lots of Dr. Pepper and 80's music and paint fumes till midnight every night.

The same amazing friend that has spent hours painting MF (such unfortunate initials she has) surprised me with this awesome jar of jelly beans for Mary Flair the Jellybean! How perfect is that?! Any camper named after jellybeans should always be stocked with delicious jelly beans!

A trip of such epic proportions requires planning meetings with homemade ranch and brownies.

She is coming along. Slowly but surely.

New fridge. New interiors side panels. New tires and lots of boring technical trailor stuff I don't understand. Lots of sanding/primer/paint. New floors.

New floorboards/trim and new upholstered cushions are still in her future. Near future. As in before next Sunday when we leave on "The Great Neighbor Escape" epic spring break trip.

Pray for us.

Insta-Sunday

Hello friends!

Last Friday we ventured out in the snow for the church fish fry. We were easily the youngest people there by at least 10 years. But I love it. It's my fave part of Lent.

The kiddos stayed at Nana and Papa's and we got some work done on Mary Flair...we finished taking out the old flooring...

And installed wood floors....we just need to add the floor boards.

We got a lot sanded and started priming the inside to start painting...

We are painting her walls white and her cabinets Alpine Air...

AJ got sick Sunday night and school was delayed 90 minutes due to snow on Monday...so we had a cozy day of resting and laundry.

Everything was back to normal Tuesday.

Brody insists on wearing this tie to school every day and it cracks me up.

I found these fabulous mugs for Andy and I to have in Mary Flair.

AJ made this bowl in art. He's told me at least 20 times that it is waterproof. He loves to eat dry snacks out of it. It melts my heart every time. He's so very proud of it. I love it. He's just so darn sweet.

I worked on passing over the submission of Box Tops!

The kiddos are still obsessed with rainbow loom and my daily jewelry these days consists of lots of neon rubber bands...

After a car pool discussion Abby was convinced that we would get a snow day if she wore her pj's wrong sideout & backwards, put a fork under her bed, & flushed hot water down the toilet.

It didn't work.

Friday I was all packed up and KC bound to meet my new niece and namesake and attend my nephew's bday party!

Isla Rai was a delight! Big eyes and all smiles! Such a sweet girl.

It was awesome to hang with my sorella and enjoy a couple Starbucks.

Good for the soul.

Vincent was super excited for his TMNT 4th birthday party!

That happened to be a bowling party. On a day I happened to wear boot socks. Awesome.

It was crazy fun, and I'm glad I got to be there!

Sunday Jess and I squeezed in our traditional trip to Charming Charlie's, I put together 4 puzzles with V, and got my last Isla Rai fix before heading to the airport.

And now I'm sitting at KCI stoked about watching House of Cards with Andy when I get home.

Word.
