Bluegill!

Happy 4th of July!

***

Boyd and I went fishing after work on Friday. Boyd caught two bluegill, I caught one. We could have caught more, but we were on a bad streak of fish swallowing hooks (2/3) and I didn't bring my needle-nose pliers... and at the end of the day, I hate hurting animals and didn't want to hurt anymore little fishies for no good reason.

We fished Lone Star Lake and found a nice little spot. We'll go back. With more gear, including the needle-nose pliers and a buck knife.

Boyd has been pretty good this 4th of July weekend, really. He stuns me at how his eating habits flop back and forth; he's a good eater one day, a non-eater the next. 

I remind myself that here in a few years, he'll be eating me out of the house.

Boyd's photo was in the St. John's newsletter this weekend! A cool pic of him smashing a confetti egg on top of Dexter's head.

Evey and Adro had a "Girl's Night In" on Friday, when they watched Adventures in Babysitting, did make-up stuff, etc.

When Boyd and I got home from fishing, Evey said it was time for her and Mom to "put on their masks." Boyd shouted, "I'll put on a mask!" and then ran upstairs and found his homemade bear mask in his room.

Neither of us understood the masks the girls then put on...

We bought some stuff today: a new stove, microwave, and a new bed for Evey.

Our little girl is growing quickly... feels good to spend some money on her, she's such a good girl.

Ribs, corn-on-the-cob and baked beans for dinner tonight. Last night was fajita night. Tomorrow? gourmet cheeseburgers, with shredded cheese and bacon pieces inside. And if the weather clears up... the pool!

Grandma Judy took Evey to see "BFG" on Friday, which stands for "Big FRIENDLY Giant," allegedly. 

I don't know, I haven't seen the movie yet.

Bought a fresh keg of Boulevard Wheat on Thursday night.

I forgot what a Wheat hangover felt like, until this morning....
