Last weekend of June

The weekend was fairly uneventful. The husband took the older two boys to a work party on Saturday. I opted to stay home with Baby T as I was not in the mood to try to keep up with him for several hours. The party was at this person's home on the ocean (now do you see why I didn't want to go). The boys were able to go out on a boat a couple of times. The first time the husband took them. The second time other adults took them out. They went out a little further than the husband thought they would go and they were going fast on the way back. E got scared. I was not excited to hear about the second boat trip! The boys did have a great time at the party and met some new friends and were able to fish a little. J caught a fish.

We also had a sitter for a few hours so that we could drive out to the country to pick up landscaping plans we had done for our backyard. We hope to be able to get the landscaping done early in the fall.

I am not sure if you have ever heard of flag lots, but it is very common in our area. Basically, the builder tries to use every piece of property he can to squeeze houses in a community. Our community is one main street with two fairly large streets off of the main street. You will see houses on the main street but behind a house could be a cluster of three homes. The homes have one long driveway down to each of their own driveways. Hard to imagine! We live on the main road but have a house (on a flag lot behind us) that basically sits at our fence in the back. Our goal is to block our view of that house and one of the houses next to us to get a little privacy.

It is hard to believe that we are at the end of June already. We have lots going on in July so should be a fun month.
