90 degrees and rising

We had a very family-oriented Memorial weekend. On the home front we did a huge home improvement project. Tim, along with our friend Tim, laid hardwood floors throughout the upstairs. It looks and feels so nice!! There is a little area left to be finished this coming weekend. Guess what daddy will be working on. Saturday we purchased...get this...a.......minivan. YEP...I'm now a minivan driver. Go ahead and laugh. When I'm in the inside I still feel like I'm driving a SUV...that is until I'm backing up. At that time I feel like I'm driving a bus. Thank the Lord this vehicle has back-up sensors.

Sunday Carys and I attended a cousins graduation party while Tim stayed home working on the floor. Amy graduated from MSU. Congrats to her!! Monday we celebrated cousin Kaidyn's 8th birthday. At the party Carys could not get enough of playing basketball with her cousin Holden. They were too cute! We also grilled burgers with our friends that helped out with laying the new floor.

Carys just loves to be outside...but why on a 90 degree day. I complain, but I always give in. So, today Carys and I went to a local deli and picked up some lunch to have a picnic at a local park. She loved looking at the flowers and the birds. Every time she would see a bird she would say "bird"; I would say and sign bird and; I would hope that she too would do the sign too but she would just keep saying "bird, bird, bird" or "dog, dog, dog". Most animals are "dog". After waking from her nap we were right back outside. She played with one of her little pals that I kept filling with water, just for her to dump it out. After about an hour of that I decided to I bring out what is really supposed to be a sandbox and put some water in it to make a pool for Carys to play in. The water was freezing, but she loved it!
