How We Spend Our Days...At Least How We Spent Yesterday





Well, yesterday here is what we did:
  • FINALLY hooked up the DVD/VCR converter in the BR (this has only taken me two years to do).
  • Moved the Wii from Ashlynn's BR to ours (more room for all of us to play, plus we can keep up with the games and remotes better - no offense Ash!) :)
  • Cleaned and sprayed off the porch (MUCH better! Now it only looks like a few of Sanford & Son's relatives live here).
  • Weeded the flowerbeds (a little). See the pic of the one I started on - it's a "before" pic. :)
    Make sure you check out the "after" pic of the flowerbeds already worked on!!
  • Played with the new Nikon camera while watching the hummingbirds...speaking of which, why do the hummingbirds all want to eat out of the old, squished up feeder versus the beautiful new teardrop shaped feeder or the nice and shiny glass, flat-bottomed feeder complete with resting station)?
  • Watered the tomatoes and peppers (including Gary's upside-down tomato plants...I'll have to post some pics of his homemade topsy-turvy planter made from a huge bucket - he's so innovative)!
  • CLEANED HOUSE - including repeatedly picking up books and toys and of course items that Tucker felt needed to be spread out rather than neatly put away.
  • Gary began getting his fishing stuff together for our river trip, including packing his "rooster tail," for those of you who are up on the whole fishing scene. :)
  • Tucker worked hard in the garden, on moving switches and knobs on Gary's manly machines in the shop, and generally being an active kiddo.
  • Ashlynn slept late, spent some time with Sissy and Lou-Lou (her adorable dogs), did several chores, and tested out the Wii in its new location. She also set up a Facebook page, since several of her friends (and her Mom and Nana) have one. :)

I can't figure out how to post the pictures the way I want to, so I'm going to add a few more after this post - I don't have time to really play with this thing this morning. :)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!
