Summertime

Summer is almost over and Aaron will be home in a week!! WooooooHooooooo! This was probably one of the quickest longest summers in my entire life..okay not my entire life, but just about. It's been fun though and we've been able to do some fun things! For example, Henry got to be Huck Finn (if only for a few minutes):

We also had a dessert contest and had some yummy Pavlova (1st place winner), Lemon Bars, Baklava, Pigs Feet, Peanut Butter Brownies, Cow Tongue, Texas Cake, and some other stuff that I don't remember....


And best of all, we got a new clothesline (this ones for you D. W.). It's super long, and it's actually quite a long walk you have to take just to hang your laundry but it's well worth the walk outside to see that there is still room for your laundry too..that wasn't always the case last summer. Summer also came complete with a teenage boy that one of our WSV kids fondly called "our Giant Friend". For as much as we may have "wondered" about him, he was a big help to some of us moms who needed a "Big Kid" to pull the wagon or to hold a crying baby while we pushed another child on a swing (okay, I'll admit, he helped ME most of the time okay..ya happy? hehehehe). He and his family have since moved to Iowa and my children miss him and still talk about him quite a bit. That's him posing at the clothesline, what a funny kid!


There will be some new haircuts tomorrow too, that will close out the summer and start out the Fall Season, so I'll be sure to post pics of that when I get a chance. 'Til then TooDaLoo (how IS that word spelled anyway? Anyone..anyone...)
