Well this summer has been the summer of CRAZY for me. Not only did I go to Ohio to pick up my oldest child from college because he graduated, but his friend moved in too. Mike lives in Massachusetts normally, but he got a job in Georgia and needed a place to stay. Our family joke is we got a two for one graduate deal. Our house is now filled with four boys, one girl, four dogs and one cat. After all of the graduation chaos went down, we came back home and decided to add on to our back porch. I know you think this sounds like a great summer project but keep in mind that all of June it rained. Then it got really hot really quickly. In between the rain showers and the heat we built the addition. Now I can say it looks pretty good, but when sweat was rolling in my eyes it did not look as great. Next came the crazy week in Myrtle Beach. I spent days packing and even got to take Tinkerbell, my yorkie, with me on vacation. Tinkerbell loves the beach, but when we got there we found out the the beach had a lot of rules. No dogs during the day, no skim boarding until 4, so we felt a little restricted by rules. Nonetheless, I found some great sharks teeth while on this adventure and it only rained one day. I spent my hours at the beach finding shark's teeth to add to my collection, while the rest of my family shade tanned. shade tanning- sitting under an umbrella all day After the beach, we returned home to project, after project, after project. However, I think the dogs are helping us decide which projects to complete. The other day Kevin had one of my shoes in his mouth and was happily bringing it to his owner, my oldest son. After that my oldest son, Nate, said, "Mom I think we need to put the shoes in a safer spot." We then had to create a dog proof shoe holder as the next project on the list. On the positive side I had to buy a new pair of shoes. I hope that we can finish the projects before school starts back!
