food, crochet, merriment
A few days ago we woke up to some crazy rain. I mean, like torrents of rain. For 4 or 5 minutes it even turned to hail. I was amazed that it wasn’t even all that cold outside…just wet. We found this odd pile of hail in one spot on the lawn that must have slid off the roof or something.
ANYway, the best part of all this moisture is…
what it does to our mountains.
Oooooh.
Not bad for nearly June–right?
Sincerely, I know what Memorial Day is all about. I do. We ALWAYS take flowers to our sweet family at the cemeteries, whether or not they were Veterans and even though none of them died in a war. This year we did it on Saturday before actual Memorial Day. I forgot to take pictures. Sorry.
We did, however have a lovely barbecue so that we could just…you know…play.
We’re pretty good at that play stuff.
New to our game repertoire was a corn hole set. It works well for a bit but then the littles wanted to wear it on their backs like a hero cape and run around the yard saving people. Slightly scary.
There was a soccer ball flying throughout the evening…
because pretty much everyone who is anyone (the kids, anyway) have played or are playing or will be playing– soccer.
So it was just a natural thing for all of them to see a ball and kick it!!
Someone brought a sticky target game…
that was also a hit. No pun intended.
Some of the kids created their own games or traded Pokemon cards.
We had hair braiding and chalk painting…
…hanging inside the monkey bar thingy…
and lighting charcoal snakes!! I love those!
Also new to our game day was an extra large Connect Four.
Even the little kids played with it…
when the big kids were done–of course!!
There was, of course the fabulous barbecue food–but I didn’t pay too much attention to that–picture wise because….well, because…
eating takes two hands.
Heh, heh.
Happy Memorial Day everyone!!!
There seems to be only one place this kitty wants to sleep.
It’s not so bad, unless it’s time to get up and I…
you know…
can’t.
Heh, heh.
I need to get up and get some work done— but there’s a kitten asleep…
on my foot.
And yes she is actually hanging upside down like that, with her nose on the floor.
