Thank you for the yucky mud

A kind neighbor came and aerated our grass yesterday evening.  Our boys and our next-door neighbor's boy loved watching the machine work it's way across our yard and got a kick out of the "tootsie rolls" it left behind.  When the guy finished, Grant went to give him a bottle of water and Brett yelled out, "Thank you for the yucky mud!"  It was pretty funny.  I love the things that boy comes up with to say.

Brett and his friend settled into the sand box for a little while.

Grant got his tools out and went to work on my bike.  

We are having a good summer so far.  We've been to the library once.  I'm always surprised at how bare those library shelves are in the kids section during the summer.  

We've gone swimming a couple times.  Sadly that won't happen as often as we'd like.  It's just to hard to take 3 kids to the pool by myself.  When they get older and they can all swim that will be a different story.  We'll probably live at the pool then.  Until then we are having fun with our slip'n slide and little kiddy pool.  :)

We're having our house painted this weekend!  It's going to be a completely different color.  Can't wait to see it!
