Backyard

Mark works hard to keep the lawn green and mowed. He always mows it in the hottest part of the day....I don't get it. In this heat I would be mowing at 5am.
The pool decking is now redone.....it looks better than it ever did. I like the new color.
The pool got re-plastered and we changed out the tile.

Summer Days

Sonia and Sherman were heavily involved with their Girls' Camp this year...so I kept the kids overnight. I absolutely forbid them all to sleep together downstairs....there is a guest bedroom upstairs..... I said....ABSOLUTELY NO SNEAKING DOWNSTAIRS.....yes, I rule with an iron fist...they are SO afraid of me.
Ryder stopped by too. He slept through the craft time, though. The kids have just as much fun eating the craft supplies as they do creating with them.....
Here we are getting started...I love Fancy Flours.... and Sugarcraft...both online. This year I bought icing eyes in several colors and sizes. My beautiful petite-four idea turned into petite four "creatures." We found the "arms" and "legs" at A.J's Fine Foods. What fun...they tasted pretty good too! A nice change from water balloon fights and swimming.
Check out those icing eyes....YUMMY! Having eye balls is going to change everything going forward.....as far as cookies are concerned.
