Let the games begin...

We got our game on with the Nortons today and
what a BLAST!!

What's better than stuffing ourselves with BBQ and other scrumptious food on Memorial Day? Following it up with hours of wii entertainment, of course. We had so much fun with our great friends the Norton's today. Here are just a few highlights ...

getting my kids psyched up with face paint and comfy sports gear
teaching my kids the proper forms of taunting and growling (grrrr....)
delicious BBQ ribs and hamburgers
Jessica's potato salad (I so need the recipe for this)
thunderstorm enabling us to stay indoors and not having to do yard work (or retaining walls)
rings with bubble blowing ability
ice cream cones
Wii Olympics and Mario Kart... what a work out!!
lots of laughter

Thanks for the great day!!

"I need some more human cookies" declares Andew (age 4) Aug. 9 , 2014 (What??) It took me a while to figure out that he was referring to the E. L. Fudge.
