Today was our third official summer weekday. The boys got up at eight and plunged right into computer games. At nine we were having breakfast. The rest of the day was spent playing Monopoly (finishing a game started last Thursday), building towers out of toothpicks and marshmallows, playing with Poe (she loves to chase your hand if you scratch it around under a blanket), playing video games, Nerf Guns, watching ICarly, and snacking and eating.
Marty came home in time for a 6:30 dinner tonight, which was a rare treat. Afterwards he went outside and began cutting up the huge fallen tree that came down last month in the tornado.

Benny and I went out to drag the limbs to the brush pile.
Here's the ripped up trunk of the tree....
And there's the fallen remains.
After about ten minutes, Benny and I decided that sweating our heads off in the heat and getting bitten by mosquitos was not something we were in the mood for. We have agreed to finish the job in the morning when it's a tiny bit (though not much, probably) cooler.
Then it will be showers, lunch, and off to the movies. A good way to spend a hot afternoon. At least, that's the plan for now.

Hot, sweaty work isn't really my thing either. But count me in for a good lunch and a good film.
