2021 Weekly Photos #23

 Here's a look back at our week! 

Saturday - We worked on our 2nd landscaping project and finished it up before enjoying our 4th of July cookout and we started a game of Risk. 



We enjjoyed burgers on the grill, homemade potato salad, watermelon and chips and salsa.  Yum! 

Nate got a Risk game for Christmas a year and a half ago - and we finally got it out to play.  None of us had played before so it took a lot of reading directions, questions, and trial and error to get started. 
We stopped half way through the game to go outside and light off our last six BIG fireworks.  
We stopped our game at this point and, like anyone who plays Risks knows, it will take days (weeks?? HA!) to finish it.  

Sunday - Happy Fourth of July!  We had lunch with my mom and then played some games before coming home and watching Fireworks on TV. 

Monday - We had a very quiet day at home.  No extra kids and just kind of relaxing all day. 

Tuesday - I had planned to do something but, in the end, I didn't HA!  The extra kids were tired, I was tired, and my kids were tired - I mean, one of them slept until noon!!! 

Wednesday - Today would have been library day but the princess didn't feel like making the craft so we didn't go.  Josh and Nate went to Nana's to play with the grandson's of Nana's friend/next door neighbor.  They had a lot of fun and I think they are planning to get together again before their friends head back to Mississippi. 

Thursday - Library Day! 

Friday - TKD and a trip to Mooville with our Co-Op. 


What is this you ask?  It's not a funky picture of my dog - look out the window.  That is our neighbor who took one for the team (neighborhood!) and faced the horrific infestation of mosquitos to spray everyone's yard that wanted it done.  He did the work while we threw money out the window at him (ok, not really -- Darryl walked it out to him HA!)  We had planned to spray ours but he put up an "offer" and we noticed that all the other neighbors were having him do their yards and then all the mosquitos came knocking on our door . .. . we saved us LOL
