Weekend Activities...







Well, this weekend was busy for us...well, maybe just Sunday. We didn't do much of anything on Saturday except for get some groceries, take a nap, and stay in the house and keep cool. I quote Jim saying..."well, I guess it's the dog days of summer, you want to go outside, but it's just too hot." Thanks Honey, my thoughts exactly!!
Sunday we started our morning early outside working in the yard. We got several odd jobs accomplished while sweating profusely!!! Even the boys wanted to come in the house to cool off...it has to be very hot for them to ask of that!! Being the wonderful mother that I am, we had chips and juice for lunch...what...you can't say you've never had a lunch similar to that before!!! :) Anyway, after our gourmet lunch, we all went to our pond for some afternoon fishing. Jim was tickled at the luck he had...we caught several really nice, big fish...nice enough to keep and we're having them for supper tonight!! Yummm, I love fish!! It was a great time! Jim even caught a turtle and we witnessed a big snake trying to eat the fish that we had caught!! Yikes! While Jim cut the fish up, I got some crazy pictures of the boys...
spitting water out of their mouths...
dirty toes...
riding in the mower cart...oh wait, I need to tell you what this is...we have an old mower that Jim took the mower blade off of and we use it all the time kind of like you would a 4wheeler...and then we got a cart in the spring...so now this is our "work vehicle and cart"...the boys ride in the back anytime we have it up and running!
Anyway,back to what some of the pictures are...there's also some pics of all three boys with the fish...by the looks of the outfits and overall dirtiness of us, you would think we're the ideal white trash family...really we're clean and do dress nice when going somewhere...I just figure if you're going to stay home and the only people going to see you are the ones you live with, wear your oldest "work" clothes, even if they don't match!!!! :)
