A BIG Hole, Camping, & Friends

It was a busy weekend here!  Brian and a bunch of guys dug a 7 foot hole in our backyard to fix a crack in our basement wall that was leaking.  It was a rough, dirty, and not so fun job!  Thanks to Craig, Matt, Dave, Jim, and Tom for helping us out!  After the hole was dug, Brian scraped, grinded, and cleaned the crack.  He applied mortar and let that dry overnight.  Today he applied the tar-type stuff to the wall.  It will now have to dry for 24-48 hours before we can fill the hole back in (and get our AC back!)  It will be a great job completed off the to do list SOON!

We took a break and met up with the Salow family (who were camping) on Saturday night.  We grilled out, Molly played with Lexi, and we all had some fun around the campfire.  

Kelly went out on the river with her friend Cambrie on Saturday and then had a sleepover at her house that evening after the boating/river fun day!  (Her second sleep-over in a week!)  She is growing up too fast!!!  I picked her up this morning at 9:30am.  She left again at 11am for her friend Maria's 6th birthday party!  She is a busy little girl!!!  This is her 3rd birthday party in 5 weeks!  Most of her friends are young for their grade, and they are all turning 6 now!

Kelly is counting down the days until she turns SIX!

The finished product....now waiting for it to dry before we can fill it back in.

**The busy social schedule for my soon to be 6 year old had her falling asleep at 6:10pm tonight!  She had so much fun with her friends this weekend!  She is one lucky little girl with some amazing friends!  One more full week of school left and she will be a FIRST GRADER!
