Saturday

I'm almost done catching up on everything. Saturday was our work day. Before we left for vacation, Scott had cut the wood for the new bed and I had sanded it all. So on this day we went to work staining it (and then sanding it and staining it again). I also mowed the lawn and did some weeding in the yard. While we were gone, we had developed dry spots in the lawn, so I set a sprinkler out in the back yard. Then I went back to work in the garage on the bed. 6 hours later I remembered the sprinkler, and by then we had a major flood going on in the back yard. Since it was 90 degrees out, we decided to let the kids have a little fun.









Grandma and Grandpa Howell came over in the evening for some dinner and a belated birthday celebration for Nate. Nate's gift from us was the new bed. Grandma Jo and Grandpa Mike gave him a new dresser (he currently didn't have one) and some clothes.








Once again, Nate loved getting to blow out the candles (I didn't have any candles, so we used matches as candles). Happy 2nd Birthday Nate! We love you so much!!!
