Rich and I have such wonderful little artsy fartsy kids. Tucker is consistently drawing something, coloring something or thinking about what he is going to color next. Trenton has the imagination of Steven Spielberg. He can transform any toy into something totally different, with a thumbtack, rubber band and a twisty tie. I love those little men. They make my life worth living. Actually if you are reading this blog, you make my life worth while also, so I thank you too!
Thank God that our first day back to reality is over! It was quite a day, but went pretty fast. The boys were happy to see Granny, because she makes good breakfast.....whatever that means. This picture was taken by my loving, sweet, and caring younger son. What a stinker!
We cannot believe that our vacation is over. We have had fun this last week, but we are ready to get back to a routine. I guess that is the good thing about a vacation, it makes you happy for the mundane things in your life. Today we really did not have much to do . I mowed the yard..again.. and Rich worked on the pond. We got in the pool and had fun with the kiddos. These are the days that you thank God for what you have. We have two healthy boys, I have a wonderful husband and a roof over our head. Life is good.
Doesn't Trenton and Tucker look so excited to have his picture taken while they are relaxing in a tub...
Do these sweet boys look worn out or what? Granny came home tonight from Alaska and we went out to her house and had dinner, but by the time she got off her plane that was delayed 3 times, we did not eat until 8:00. It was a long drive home and since they run without any shoes on at Nana's house they had to take a bath.Granny had a good time with her sister and Aunt Neice. I think she was happy to come home though. There is not a more comfortable bed than your own. I am glad you are home Granny, we love you!
So, we took the boys to see Ice Age today. I have felt terrible the last couple of days. All Rich and I have done is worry about the dumb tree. So we went to the movies today. It was a pretty good movie. It has dinosaurs in this one so it was right up Trenton and Tucker's alley. It was 3D though, which I hate. Those glasses are the pits. They love to see 3D movies. Did you know that it costs more to see a 3D movie, which is retarded! They charge you 2.00 more for the glasses, and then want you to "donate" them back. We always take ours with us. This was the last thing for the boys to do before our vacation is over and also before they go back to school, which starts on August 10th. We are not allowed to say the S word in our house yet....not that word...school!
So, we worked into the night on Friday and got everything cleaned up. We moved a tree back to were the other tree was, moved the seating area around and cut all the trampled flowers down. We were not kind to them at all earlier in the day. So we put them out of their misery. It looks good, just different. One day the tree will be large and we will have shade again. We will probably have false teeth by them, but that is ok. We can eat our pudding under it!
We finally got the tree down and cleaned up! You know that is hard work! My father in law cuts wood to heat their house he is twice my age and never acts like the wood kicks his butt. I will say that the tree kicked our butt! Our neighbor was kind enough to let us stack the monstrosity of a mess on her burn pile. Thank God, because I was about to have a nervous wreck, because my yard was a mess. Not just a small mess, but a huge pile kind of hot mess! We conquered it....or maybe it conquered us. all I know is it is gone.
