A hot one today!

It was warm today! The van showed a temp of near 90 & with some high humidity....not the best for working outside. We continued with our outside work & made great progress. We probably still have another full weekend to finish the pavers but it is going to look nice! Once the pavers are done, we will need to widen the gravel section next to it. That will mean a few more weekends of excavating & putting in stone.

The kids spent most of the day outside...even filled up their little pool & the played in the water. They spent a considerable amount of time today catching wasps, can you see me rolling my eyes?? Before we did our addition & siding, we had a problem with wasps/yellow jackets. They had a couple hives that we were continually spraying. Recently they are back. The awning where they built their nests are gone but I think they may be trying to get up behind the new siding. Anyway, yesterday Josh was stung by one of them...he wasn't bothering it at the time...it landed on his land, he brushed it while not realizing what it was & got stung. I had wanted to get a wasp trap anyway, so he went with me to get one after he felt better yesterday....back to today....they (mostly Nate) spent the day catching the wasps & putting them in the trap! Not quite the intent. Surprisingly, Nate did not get stung!

One of Zach's highlights for the weekend was that he peed on a tree for the first time...he was very excited! Now, if I could just get him that excited about all of his potty training...it is not going particularly well!

The big boys are back to school tomorrow but it is really downhill from here. I think Nate has 14 days & Josh has 13 days left. Both have two more field trips, field day, end of the year parties, Kindergarten celebration, the last two days are 1/2 days, so I don't think there will be much learning left!

Picture from yesterday, the boys had great fun playing on the pallets of pavers...

Here are some pictures from today & playing in the water.
