What A Saturday!!

We had a wonderful day today! Slept in 'til 9:30 ate egg sandwiches and headed outside! I mowed the grass, Josh pressure washed and the boys played, played, played! We came in around 4:30. Daddy, Momma, Luke, MK, Ben and Beth came over around 5:00. Got quick baths and headed to Manasco's. YUMMO!! Then headed over to MawMaw Bozeman's for a little while. TIRED!! But loved this wonderful, beautiful, Saturday in the South.

The boys were "All Boy" today as usual. Played with the water hose, rode the golf cart, scooters, skateboards and played in the woods. They got a little creative and came up with a new contraption. They were so nasty and sweaty but they still manage to clean up so handsome. ha I know this sounds odd, but two of my favorite smells in the world. Sweaty little boys, knowing they have had fun and are healthy and able to be rambunctious little fella's and then the complete opposite of them fresh out of the bathtub! Clean, soft, fresh skin. 2 totally different smells but both make me happy!

Here's a few pics of their adventures today.

They were"Carpenters" for a while.
Next: "Inventors"

Now just what exactly would a 7 year old want with a Roaster Oven? Well, it wasn't the oven he wanted. His creative juices were flowing and he "Just needed the box, Momma, please?"
Well Picasso then needed "washable paint, just in case I make a mess" and a paintbrush.
He is proud of his work, thus far. But what could he be creating?
The final product. Why it's his very own "Critter Catcher, a bird trap really." Mighty creative don't you think? I was very surprised he came up with this idea and did it all on this own. The shop will never be the same again since he dug in everything trying to find "that thick brown string stuff".

Now what could this little one be doing? No, he's not washing the paint off the paint plate. This plate has now served 2 purposes. That would now have been used as a "Pee Plate". Yep, he peed in the plate then disposed of it. Why? I don't know. Not only creative juices flowing but looks like the apple juice from his snack was flowing too!

NEXT: Campers

So then they decided to camp out and wait for the critters!

I believe he found enough of that thick brown string stuff.
And if a critter just so happens to find their bread baited box, the campers will be prepared. He made a bow and arrow from the wood found while being carpenters and the brown string stuff while being inventors. This camping and critter catching was a lot of fun. I got on and off the lawn mower 10 -12 times trying to capture all these pics, but so glad I did!
