While Daddy was working hard, we enjoyed another week with grandparents! :)
Day 183. We were all enjoying the evening sunset from Grandma and Grandpa's new deck, and we actually remembered to take a picture of the grandkids with them--woo-hoo! That doesn't happen very often! :)
Day 184. We enjoyed spending some time with Aunt Barbi and cousins Sam and Bryce!
It was a very busy work week for Grandpa, but he still made time to take Peter with him for a ride in the truck. Peter's favorite part? "Talking with Grandpa! I had to talk very fast though in order to say everything I wanted to say inbetween phone calls!" Yep. Peter's my talker. :)
Unfortunately, however, Peter managed to end this day on a MUCH less pleasant note, as he decided to play hide-and-seek without letting Mommy know about it. We called and searched for 20+ minutes and were starting to seriously consider calling the police when Grandpa finally found him hiding under the deck. :( Anyways. Hopefully the lessons learned will not be soon (ever!) forgotten. What a mixture of utter relief and frustration when we finally found him!!!
Day 185. Grandma's special treat for Hannah was joining in a girls' day out, complete with manicures and pedicures for all. :)
Happy toes! :) Complete with sparkly fireworks. :)
Day 186. Happy Fourth of July! Grandma helped us make cute fireworks shirts! :) (So simple ... fold six pipe cleaners in half, then spread them out to make a star shape. Dip in red, white, and blue fabric paint and waa-laa!)
We enjoyed a fun church picnic, and Mommy and Grandma had to laugh when Hannah used two squirt guns to fend off the boys! :)
Day 187. We were so glad to be able to visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Alan made our visit even more special by letting the kids drive his antique Johnny-Poppers! What a special treat for my John Deere loving crew! (Mommy even got to drive one with Matthew!)
Day 188. And then it was time to head back home. Mommy was thankful that Grandma was able to join us for the trip back to SC. By the end of the second day, Matthew was just plain tired of being in his car seat, and it would have been rather tough for Mommy to drive from the backseat. :)
Day 189. Home again! With significant progress made on our bathroom project! :) For those who are wondering, the bare-bones synopsis is that we pulled down all of the green tile, pulled out the tub, replaced the tub with a shower and added a door between the bathroom and the master bedroom. We also replaced the flooring and added a linen closet where the master closet used to be. Mudding and painting is about all that's left. The master closet will have a new home post bathroom renovations.
And then ... we raced headlong into week 28! :)

Wow! I actually kind of like the picture of G&G with the kids. Not a usual occurrence, I know. Also, it's four pipe cleaners folded in half, twisted to hold their shape, then spread out and dipped in paint. Though I imagine six would make an even sparklier firework. :-)
Love the picture of all the
grandchildren sitting on the deck steps! Cute!!
Robin, I didn't even know they were doing this so imagine my surprise when I saw the picture on Jenny's camera!! Can't wait to have a 4x6. Hint, hint, Jenny. :-)
Gotcha covered, Mom. :)
