S’More Fun

We have an amazing fire pit area in our backyard that hardly gets the use that it deserves. We’ve got lights strung up that turn on each night and call our name, but it usually looks most appealing right as the girls are melting and ready for bed. A couple weekends ago, we stayed home all weekend and had a late afternoon campfire and s’mores in the pit and it was a nice reminder how nice our yard is and what fun s’mores can be. I’m sure we’ll be out there again sooner rather than later…..because the ‘mallow roasters have yet to be put completely away….

On The Fourth Of July, I Give You June

 

 

This is what our June looked like. Lots of time outside playing with the water. What isn’t pictured is all the sprinkler play and sidewalk chalk we’ve been doing…..or the post-sprinkler popsicle mess, or our friends that we’ve had wonderful play dates with. Anywhoodle, we’ve been up to no-good, making messes and having a grand ‘ole time. We’re off to meet up with some friends at the beach for some celebrating of “Norf ‘merica’s birfday,’  as Maggie likes to say it. Happy 4th,  Peeps.

New Fence @ HBHQ

We’ve known for quite a while that we needed a new fence along the West part of our property, but we tend to take forever to make decisions about making changes/updates to our home. We’d been living with a leaning fence for years and a gate that was really just a bit of chicken wire nailed up. We’re not fancy people, but it was really not fancy. My dad, claiming he wanted to be sure to have a yard for Sparky to run around in, because Sydney wouldn’t escape, cleared some time in his schedule and came down to fix our fence up. I don’t officially have any ‘after’ pictures here, but it looks dandy now. My mom was able to come down as well and watch the girls while I cleaned out our garage. It was therapeutic to purge a TON of junk. I think I took two huge truck loads to the Goodwill. They asked if we were moving…..that’s how much stuff I got rid of.

My grandparents were also able to come over during the fence building and my grandpa and Maggie pounded some nails in togetther. The combination of them working on the fence was both loud and sweet. They were both talking at eachother, neither really listening to what the other was saying, but both laughing. Those two have a special bond.

My mom also planted a few pots with Maggie/Construction Sal‘s help. I was happy to be working in the garage and I know my mom was happy to get her hands dirty with the girls, so it all worked out just fine…..
