I told Erin when I left on Friday that I would blog this weekend - that never happened - I never even got to my computer and I am not going to say it was all good this weekend because it wasn't.... and this weekend left me to think about some stuff that I am still thinking about.
But there was fun to be had! On Saturday night the Walls family +1 came over for a fire and pizza and smores. The
girls and the chaos created by kids stressed Matt out so I am not sure if he had a great time, but we do love a fire and that outdoor fireplace is the best part about that house right now. We had spent the better part of Saturday planting the garden so I was sure to give them all a tour! Here Riley is able to show us how big the garden is:
Hailey brought a friend with her named Meghan and for a while they let me chase them around with a camera taking pictures. I tried to get them to sit on a bale of hay while I shot some but they weren't having it at all.
After a while and a few beers Brian decided it was time to use the chain saw so he climbed into the tree and pulled down some dead branches
Then he wanted the chain saw so I got it for him - this is where Matt really started having a bad time. Once he got the chain saw he cut down the rest that was dead
The girls seemed a bit nervous - mainly because Brian was up in a tree..... here they are huddled by my car
After Brian was done they all had a group hug:
It was all fine and now my tree is all better. It has already starting growing new shoots in the area that is newly exposed from when I had that tree cut down a month ago.
I love nature.
The girls even tried some fancy gymnastics move in celebration.
In other house news I got a new mailbox - so my family can quit nagging me to get one. My old one had a dent in it and was held up by bungie cords - but it worked so who cares!
