Chad's been out of town Monday - Thursday all month so we're having some weird weeks. Last weekend, we had a garage sale Friday and Saturday. We did really well and got rid of a lot of stuff! Yay!The kids entertained themselves during the garage sale by building a little fort out of old crib rails and covering it with blankets. They also stuffed it full of blankets, pillows and toys.
Chad also managed to find some time on Saturday and Sunday to mow the lawn and finish the fence out back. The fence is now finished...we just have to level the ground in the newly fenced area and figure out what the heck we're gonna do as far as landscaping! We're thinking of putting in a little slate or brick patio with a fire pit.
We went to visit our puppies again Sunday evening. They are getting bigger every week and are so cute and fun! The kids just love them.
Lucky & Bingo
Nick and Gabby (holding Lucky & Bingo) with Michael (holding Spunky, the mommy beagle)Our weather has been back and forth lately...we'll get a few nice warm and even hot days...and then a few overcast days with scattered rain showers. The kids have been beating the heat on the hot days with the sprinkler. They love running in the sprinkles and playing with the hose. Nick likes to get his entire face and head wet and Gabby likes to have the sprinkler on low and daintily hop through it, getting just her legs wet. We haven't filled our pool yet, but they have been using the pool at Grandma Elaine's house.
(below) She's watching carefully to make sure Nick isn't going to POUNCE on the sprinkler ring as soon as she runs up, causing the water to jump up into her face... 
Here are a few photos from last weekend's visit to ArtFest. The kids had fun working on crafts and eating and dancing to the music.
MMMMM....ice cream. Gabby chose vanilla...Nick chose Huckleberry.
Learning to use Chopsticks...Gabby thinks she's "really good at it"
Fish prints...you paint a dead fish and then press your paper over it. They had cute little ocopusses too...but Gabby wanted a fish.
