Thursday July 5

Madi left for work and Dad and I left for the gym.

The little ones were just waking up when we left.

After the gym, Dad finished pressure washing Bubbles deck railing.

Then we got them all painted with a new coat of paint.

It will look so when it gets all put back together up there :)

We had some surprise visitors :)

Pat showed up with some a couple of her family members to show the house.

It was fun to see them.

And I could have been totally embarrassed at the state my house was in.....but, oh well :)

It's summer, and we are outside most of the time and no one picks up their mess when they come inside!

So the place is a disaster!

But it was fun to show it and remember what the house used to be like.

It's been a while since someone has come to the house that hasn't been in it before!

Once it got too hot outside, we did come inside and get some inside stuff done.

Got stuff tidied up and Dad even cleaned the fridge out :)

Later on in the evening, we went swimming at the Morgan's.

The kids informed us that we have a tradition of having a sleepover the night of the 4th.

I am not sure if that has been every 4th of July......but anyway......they insisted that it must be done!

So tonight, we have three Morgan kids over.

Cassi and Avery are in their own tent.

Porter and Cannon are on the trampoline.

Elsie and Kyra are in Elsie's room.

Should be a fun night.

Poor Kyra got 15 bug bites just sitting out on the swing!

Good thing she is sleeping indoors, or she might get eaten alive!!!!!
