Father's Day weekend excitement

So our fathers got cookies and candy for presents this year...  my dad got turtles.

Yes, it is hard to melt caramels and chocolate in a pyrex bowl floating in a sauce pan.  Sally gave me her double boiler though, so I don't have to do that again!  woot woot!


Little miss is stuck in reverse.  She's very adept at getting herself stuck in corners.  And dust mopping the wood floors.  *grin*


Chilling with Gumby.



Friday night we spent an enjoyable evening with Greg and Mary and Brent and Janelle.  Cecily looks so big compared to baby Tyra. 

Saturday was hot so we didn't do much.  We went shopping and bought a bigger window well.  I know, so exciting.  Then in the evening the storm hit.  We heard something scrape outside on the roof after a big wind gust and looked out to see lots of leaves against the window...  um... yikes.  


The top branches just barely hit the gutter and dented it a little bit, otherwise it didn't do any damage to the roof or house. Thankfully. 


It missed my garden.   

Little miss is going to miss her favorite shade tree.


She looked very unsure. 

The view from inside while Bob and Rustin cleared away the worst of it today.


We spent the evening at Bob's parents' and took part in the Koch-Beutel water fight.  Little miss and I hung out by the kiddy pool.  She liked it, the water was just a little cold at this point.  A few buckets of hot water from the house later and she didn't want to get out. 


Blessings.

Loved the "catching up" and your adorable daughter:)
Are you still coming in July? Randy plans to go fishing, but we will try to come home late Sat. night.
