The Rest of Our Weekend; Slacker Style

 

So I had said I'd be back yesterday for the rest of our weekend recap, but I got busy & lazy.  Being a taxi for Football every night this week plus having a job & home duties is wearing me out.  We haven't even eaten dinner before 8PM one night this week if that tells you anything!  So, with that whine session over, let's begin, shall we?

 

Friday:  We grilled out & actually had dinner on the deck as a family of 6!  Man how this felt normal & good.  I really miss having the kids around in the Summer time!  After dinner, we hung out with neighbors & got the finishing touches ready for our Garage Sale on Saturday morning.

 

Saturday:  Skylar was the first kid out of bed, so she set up a Kool-Aid stand & Creag & I worked the Garage Sale.  The sale didn't go well at all, but the kids made enough cash at their stand to buy Dippin' Dots at the pool on Saturday afternoon!  Speaking of the pool, Sammie finally got the courage up to go down the big slide & go off of the diving board!  To bad Creag wasn't there to see it :-(  He had a Fantasy Football Draft & missed it all.  I guess all it took was having Hank there to talk her into it!  After the pool, we met Creag back at home for dinner & then headed to the fair for the evening which you saw in my last post.

 

 

 

Sunday:  We got kind of-sort of caught up around the house and then went to the pool again.  We love our pool days!  We left close to dinner to get Hank to his Equipment Pick Up for Football & had my parents over for dinner.  Of course the chef of the house whipped up an awesome dinner!  We had a large foil pack off of the grill of Smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob, Onion, Squash & Zucchini & it was sooooooo good!!  We're loving foil packs this Summer.  They're so easy & you can have such a good variety.

 

 

After dinner & dessert, my parents took Skylar & Wyatt back home with them for the week & we were sad to see them go!  School starts back up soon & I cannot wait to have them home!  Side note:  Hank was obviously ready for practice on Monday.  He felt like a big guy in his pads & was asking Creag to push him around in his pads to toughen him up!  He obliged & it was hilarious.
