Week Recap - Oh Boy!!!

Last weekend was a pretty rainy weekend, and due to the construction going on at our house, the backyard is a mess.  In order to run plumbing and electrical to our carport, currently being converted to a mother-in-law apartment, a trench 2-3 ft deep had to be dug between our house and the new project.  Needless to say, that left a lot of loose dirt in the backyard, and combined with a couple of days of rain,  there was mud, mud everywhere and not a drop to drink.  So, after church, Dave headed outside to do some work in the back, and naturally, the kids wanted to follow Daddy outside.  I don't know why, but I never imagined they were going to play in the mud.  I mean, they are always digging and playing in the dirt, but why did I think they were just going to walk around and look?????  It was water and dirt together, for goodness sake, the perfect combination for some fun.  The only problem?  They were wearing their Sunday-go-to-meeting-clothes!  They know we don't play when we have our nice clothes on, right?  WRONG! They were covered in mud when all was said and done.

In the meantime, Luke was being a big helper.  We have lots of pieces of wood lying around in need of 50 nails embedded in them.  I honestly believe there are thousands of angels all around our children all the time.

While working in the back, Dave smoked a pork butt for dinner.  Every time we talk about smoking something, Carson asks, "Daddy you smoke?  That's not good for you, you are going to DIE!"  

I don't know about that, but the pulled pork sandwiches were great!

You gotta do what you gotta do!  But, why were people staring at us while we were shopping at Sam's?  (This was the kids' idea and we did not argue!)

Luke is 100% potty trained (no more accidents), so we celebrated by going to Toys R Us!  This is what we have walking around the house now...

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
