Busy Busy ...

We are into our third week with the little ones!  Had a week at home, then a week camping at Big Lake, and now this week will be spent at home tending to the garden with the help of little hands.  They are heading home this coming Saturday and life will be quiet ~ we will miss them.

Here are a few pictures of our activities ~

I love playing with the girls hair!  Here we are ready for a day of shopping .. had to put Gran's ASU hair pretties in.

Spoiled M with a pedicure!  I may have created more than I bargained for ~ she really really enjoyed this and has asked many times if we could go back to have our toes done !

While we were running around and getting our toes pretty .. Papa and P went fishing at Horseshoe Lake.  Papa caught 3 and P caught 6.  This is one of my favorite lakes ~ it's such a beautiful place.

Off to Big Lake for our annual camp-out.

The 3 little fire tenders preparing the fire for the nightly smores-fest!

P constructed two tepees!  Pretty awesome feat considering he did it mostly by himself, however with a little help from his sister and cousin ... here is the first one.

Here is the 2nd tepee!  This one withstood the wind and rain ~ they enjoyed having breakfast here along with many "secret" meetings.  Wonder what they were discussing :))

Oh Lordy!  This was once a pretty pink jacket ~ I have washed it 3 times and still working on getting it back to what it once was.  Thanks to Spray N' Wash and OxiClean we are getting there one wash at a time.

Peaceful moments at Big Lake ~ 

We were able to get our tomatoes, various peppers, zucchini and cilantro planted!  So excited to see my garden looking alive again.  It was a joint effort with Papa and myself, and the grands ~ what fun we had.  I will post pictures next time :))

Count your blessings!  Life is good!
