Fun With Sparklers…

For our Saturday night fun I had the girls play with some Sparklers, which were  leftover from the 4th. I was able to take some Long Exposure shots of them spinning and twirling around. I even jumped in on the fun. We had such a great time!!! Hope you enjoy!!!

This one was me wanting to get in on the action!!!

I like the ghostly effect of the girls in some of the pictures.

The Puzzle is Done

The puzzle we started about 2 weeks ago is completed. We finished it after dinner last evening. Its such a great sense of accomplishment to get through that sky, with its many shades of blue. It was driving us INSANE!!! But we did it. Wifey stated that the excitement of finding the correct puzzle piece, was comparable to hitting a great golf shot. They both keep you coming back for more. (granted she has only been to the driving range, but I get it and so will anybody else who has ever played golf)

Fun in the Mud

Our land lords are currently repairing the sprinkler system for the house.  So, our backyard is a complete mess. It’s just dirt with a few patches of grass. Our task is to have a luscious green yard by the end of summer. Our daughters will be completely disappointed, because they love to make mud with just a little water and dirt. I was testing out the sprinklers today, and I created a mud wonderland for them. They were thoroughly entertained.
