Join me as I vibrate through my second cup of coffee while we take a trip back to…last Wednesday, on the car ride to Spokane!

Well yeah, I had to document my fiesta rainbow sparkle glitter nails, youuuuu knooooooow.

And how about that cleavage, eh? Thanks, PMS!

The Boy’s father had put in a really nice flower bed. The Boy ended up having to stake around it and put up a string to keep Maggie from tromping through it every time she chased after a ball.

Worked like a charm–no damage to the flower bed (I hope!).

The Boy and Elliot setting up our tent in the backyard. The first night most of the guests hadn’t arrived, so we slept inside in the Boy’s old bedroom.

Thursday night we tented it. I slept great, although a pair of incredibly loud crows woke me up in the morning squawking back and forth for what seemed like a half an hour.

The dogs were very well behaved…

…except for drinking this filthy, scummy old water. Gross, Bear Cub!

Giant rhubarb plant.

Ancient, overturned little boat.

There was a fireworks ban in effect in their area, so our Fourth of July celebration consisted of watching the kids in their jammies hurl pop-its on the back patio. Good Times!

Pretty stinkin’ cute.

I have lots more photos to come, including the Portland trip, but right now I have to do a little last-minute cleaning because my friend Lisa (+ family) is coming for a visit today. I’m not really sure when they’ll be here–and that carpet needs a vacuum, STAT. Happy Wednesday!
