Hooray!!!! If you've never been to our house before then you really can't appreciate what a great victory this really is. I wish I had a "before" picture to show you, but the sad truth is that the dogs have ruled the mud pit we've called our backyard since we moved into our house. We finally decided that (for the sake of our sanity) the kids MUST be able to play outside!! So Shane put up this cute little picket fence to split the children & the canines. Everyone (including the dogs) is much happier!!
Shane got a grill for Father's Day but since we've been out of town this is only the 3rd time he's used it. Well let me tell ya, he is 3-for-3 on the grillin' (which is pretty good with no practice for the last 3 years!) Tonight we had... (don't read any further if you're really, really hungry!) lemon-pepper chicken, super-fat & juicy ribeyes, seasoned potatoes, & portabellas. YUM!!!!
If you really want to know the truth though, it wasn't the humans or the dogs that won tonight...it was the mosquitos!! We all got at least 10 bites despite our Skintastic! Seriously...does anyone have any suggestions?? I wish we could just fog the whole backyard. I know the deep-woods kind works well but I just hate to spray that on the kids!
