Weekend Recap

Just a few highlights from last weekend. A sampler of sorts. :)

Friday: Carter and Grandma Neerings enjoy a special V.I.P. day at his school. Grandma even got to eat school lunch - yum!



Early Saturday: Mike goes to Home Depot and purchashes several sharp objects that I'm sure will cause his demise. He uses them like this and claims they are tools:



Later Saturday: Mike completely de-limbs this approximately 40 foot pine tree in 90 minutes flat. Can you spy him here?



Here is the tree after the said 90-minute "trim."



Carter has his first "privelige" of using the clippers to help dad cut up limbs. "Privelige" is a special word used for tricking kids into things they wouldn't normally do.



Saturday and Sunday: The kids get to hang out in their special "Reverence Tent" for watching General Conference on TV. This is also a secret way of tricking our kids into thinking that can be reverent AND have fun at the same time. Heh, heh.



And finally, a cameo appearance from Monday: Carter's face gets introduced to the pavement for the first time. OUCH!



P.S. - It had nothing to do with tree limbs or sharp objects from Home Depot. :)
