We had a very busy weekend. . . in spite of the rain and during the rain. It did make some of our projects a bit more interesting though, aka muddy. But we won't have to water for a while. Dennis took half a day off on Friday intending to work outside, which unfortunately was very wet and stopped him from making much progress that day. But it did help with the work going on inside the house.
Activity 1. Landscaping
Dennis has been working so hard on landscaping the side yard. He's been handpicking cobblestones from out south of town and bringing them back to the house. We had some dirt brought in, which arrived a day behind schedule. The children loved playing on the dirt pile though and were very sat to see it taken away to other parts of the yard. Monday we were determine to get our driveway back so Dennis and I shovel dozens and dozens and dozens of loads of dirt into a couple wheelbarrows, then hauled it to the side of the house. We were a bit sore and tired by the end of the day, but, we did it!!!
Activity 2. Family Get together
Saturday we had a little get together at our house to celebrate Afton and Khora's birthdays. The weather turned out to be just wonderful! We grilled some hamburgers and hot dogs and ate lunch together. We even had home made strawberry ice cream. Yummy! Khora had fun with her cake, but kept trying to grab the candle.The kids all had a lot of fun playing with some of their cousins. The boys and their dad's went on a hike up Santaquin canyon while the girls stayed home and played dress up with their new purses.
Activity 3. Fireman's Breakfast
Monday morning we made it over to the annual fireman's fundraiser. They fixed us a yummy breakfast and no one went away hungry, and Dennis didn't have to fix breakfast! Bonus!
