We finished off the day with some grilled hotdogs, and fresh beans and zucchini from the garden. I did discover a few squash bugs on my plants.. and freaked out. Br Parten in the ward told me to go out there and rub the eggs off the plant, and manually kill all the bugs. Good thing I only have 7 squash plants!!!After the kids retired/zonked out, we pulled out a good game of Settlers of Catan. It had to be cut short, because of disagreements about the rules, so that was a bummer. Also, I had been planning to go hot tubbing with the adults, but no one was in the mood for that..... so maybe next time.
Saturday the hubbies made wonderful fruit pancakes. Blueberries, strawberries, and chocolate chips... oh wait... those aren't fruit. Or are they? We headed back out to the pool, and the cool 9am breeze felt great.
After that, I suggested hanging the new front door that's been done for the past 3 months. With the extra manpower, it was a much easier job. It was so fun to see it go up. We're still having some issues with the door frame being crooked, but thanks to Earl, that might get fixed tomorrow. Yeah for a nice door. Of course having a nice looking door, points out the super ugly trim, and half-ripped off weather striping. I guess we need to fix that too.....
Ugly old door
Out with the Old
In with the New
Still a work in progress

Chocolate chips are TOTALLY a fruit!
The new door looks great! I don't think the old one is too bad - a coat of red paint would fix it right up - but the new one is definitely gorgeous!
Yeah I would have to agree about chocolate being a fruit! Sucks to hear the squash bugs got you too. Nate and I just pick em off as we see them because the neem oil is doing nothing for them. And BTW when did you plant your zucchini? Mine are super small still.
Yeay for summer! Sounds like a fun day. The front door looks very nice!
