We had a crazy heat wave here this past week. Kim, her kids, and her Dad went with me to my Dad’s pool Wednesday night. We had pizza and it was delightful. Here are some cute pics of the kids.
Anthony is the youngest and one of the bravest. Super cute, even when he makes weird faces:
Travis was the most scaredy, but he did eventually let Kim take him in the water:
Jack was Jack.
My Dad’s GF and her granddaughter Mia came over eventually, and Mia had a fit when the boys started touching her Barbie’s accessories. They did all go swimming together though:
I told Travis and Mia to smile, and Travis super conveniently squeezed in and posed:
I like this picture because of the Ken butt:
It was a nice time. My dad would not stop trimming the spent flowers off of hostas (while we were by the pool) and trying to feed everyone melon and sweet corn in addition to their pizza (while we were inside eating). He’s so funny. He, Matthew, and Amanda worked a bunch last Saturday on cutting branches off this tree (and it’s twin on the other end of the house) so the trunk could be cut down, and apparently, he’s been shimmying up the tree by himself each evening to cut a few more feet worth of branches off (he got a lecture for that that I bet he won’t listen to):
Thursday was exterminator day. We (including the cats) had to be out of the house for 4 hours in the afternoon. PRIME SLEEPING TIME. Disaster. Anyway, after finding out that the drywalling guy was going to be working at my Dad’s, I decided we had better not take the cats there. They got a bonus trip to the vet, where BabyCat got some shots, Harvard got his kidney labs done, and Alley just hung out. Thursday was an expensive day.
I’m tired and feel like crap, but I can’t sleep, and I feel like I already slept a ton today. This night shift week has been a disaster for me…and now that we don’t have Cathy anymore, we don’t get the Friday after working the weekend (which I am currently doing) off anymore. LAMESAUCE. Oh well. At least I still have a job, as they’re counting on me saying.
