Memorial Weekend Fun

I was visiting a blog and the first post that I came to for this lady’s site said that she liked to see random pictures of where a person lives. Sort of like peeking into a person’s life, but not a peeping tom! I liked the pictures that she posted and started off doing something similar, only to be caught up in a game with Greg and the boys across the street.

The pics are in the house with Tigs, Greg standing by the painting his Mom did of one of the plantation homes, me with Pebbles (see honey, I didn’t cut my hair short!) then I went outside and took a picture of the chair and patio set that we repainted and put in the front garden (you might be able to make out the swan stained glass that I did. I love the tube like flowers in the front of the picture because they attract the hummingbirds).

Greg was across the street with his three-man slingshot. I was taking pictures of them and couldn’t resist, "I’d like to try!" They were aiming water balloons into a garbage can. My first try was totally off. Jacob ran to the garbage can and yelled back, "Aim at me! Aim at me!" Greg held one side of the slingshot and Brent held the other side. I loaded the water balloon and pulled back hard. Whooshhh and Popp! I made my target! Jacob go hit head on with catching it in his hands and he waved his hands in the air, "That hurt!" Greg said, "I wish we had a picture of your shot!" We laughed and played some more. I couldn’t believe how much fun it was! Greg is great with kids…

I added more pictures. There's one with Greg showing off those sexy muscles. And the neighbor's cat through the screen was a neat picture, I thought. We went back outside later in the afternoon when more of the neighborhood kids wanted to play with the slingshot!
