It seems like lately we haven't been able to do anything but get home, cook, clean up, bathe and go to bed, just to get up in the morning and do it all over again. This weekend, whether shadowed with the events of the previous week or not, was fun and very relaxing.
Saturday night Doug, Kelly and Sadie came over for a visit and brought us supper. The guys went out fishing and came home with 2 whole fish. I think they did more drinking than fishing.
Chris got up early on Sunday and worked in the garden. It has been so wet, he couldn't till up the rows. So he finally did that and ridged the potato rows. Grady 'helped.' He also found a few tasty treats!!
When the gardening was done, we went to my parents house for lunch. No one was hungry and it ended up being a late lunch/early supper. Steaks, YUM!!! The little boys couldn't resist swimming. I think it is about time to think about putting the pool up....if it would stay dry for more than one day!
Grady and Tristan showed the fishermen from Saturday night up. Really goes to show how many more fish you can catch without beer. Grady had the first catch of the day with a bass and then a catfish to follow. The first picture you can tell how proud he is, but the second one.....not so much. He even told me one time, "You can take a picture of the fish, but not me."
Tristan got some help from his dad reeling in his blue gill. I don't have any pictures of him with his fish. He was so excited!! But, he didn't have any clothes on!!! He was too busy getting ready to fish to worry about clothes when he got done swimming!
Poor Granny had to pedal those two all over the pond for just the right spot to do some more fishing. They looked like professionals out there!
They hadn't went very far at all and T-Bone said, "I got sumfing, Granny!!" Sure enough, he got a bass. Finally the child had some undies on so Aunt Aubbie could share his picture!
It was a great weekend that did me some good. Hopefully this week keeps sunny and warm and is just as good as the last few days were.
Altogether, there were 12 fish caught. The boys caught all but 2 or 3 of them. For some reason they kept making this face at me. I just figured it was like that Home Alone kid......AHHH.....Granny is killing our fish!!
Grady kept falling asleep on the way home. 5 o'clock is not a good time to be going to sleep. I kept trying to keep him awake and got him laughing about something...just thought it was too cute of a picture not to share.
Monday, Chris's mom and I went to Terre Haute shopping. Not for any particular thing, just some retail therapy. Lord, did I need it!! I had a good day and enjoyed our trip. Last night, Grady was wanting to do puzzles. I didn't want to sit at the table and do them, so we tried out Papa's step stool he made Grady as a little tray. Now, he must eat at it and do coloring pages at it and it is probably not going to make it back to the bathroom where it belongs.
