The Weekend in Pictures

To end the suspense (I know you've all been on the edge of your seat) the coyote got both Lucy and Ethel =(  We decided to end our chicken farming and sold the coop on craigs.list this weekend.  It was so fun to have them but we can't mark our house as the local coyote fast food joint...not with a small child and a small dog.  And we're not prepared to re-fence the chicken yard (which is 12' wide x 70' long) to make it 6' tall instead of 4', so that's it.

On to more fun topics...this weekend was so fun!  Busy and hot, but fun.  Both days were over 100 so we did most of our outdoor stuff in the mornings.  Saturday we went to the park first thing, she had a great time on the swing and slide:

Then we ran errands and came home for lunch.  After K's nap we drove to M's folks house and took Famous Dave's BBQ for his Dad's b-day.  Yum.  It's an hour drive each way to their house but K did great and had a good time at Grandma & Grandpa's house.  She loves playing with her Grandma =)  After we got home and got her bath, story and bedtime done my Dad came to stay with her while we went to go listen to some live music.  M's co-worker was singing, mostly Blues, and it was fun to get out and about.  We left around 8:45 and got home about 11.  K woke up Sunday at 5:30 and we let her play in her room until 6:15 *yawn*  About 10 minutes after getting up she insisted we put her in a pink dress for the day:

After breakfast she mowed the yard (riding mower) with M, which she loves!  While they did that I did some laundry and cleaned up inside.  Then she played in the yard while I trimmed shoots off 11 trees and M cleaned our horse stalls.  Then the buyer for the coop came and picked it up.  Quite a lot of activity before 11am!  So we all napped to recover =)  When we got up K and M painted and played with play-doh in the dining room while I buzzed around (finished laundry, cleaned the fish tank and watered plants).  Then we went in our hot tub, which is a cold tub right now:

She likes it but our stay is short, she still gets a little nervous in water deeper than a bath tub.  And finally we finished by going out for dinner with my folks at our favorite Mexican restaurant.  And just like that another Monday is here!  I couldn't resist including this picture from last week - she LOVES having her nails painted and here she is showing them off:

Hope you all have a great Monday!!!
