When your oldest goes to Jilley's cupcake bar without you <<<<

Ok soooo I was just revisiting one of my favorite sayings..."Don't compare your real life with someone else's highlight reel" Seems very appropriate this week, we spent two full days (ok mostly Chris and Wil but the girls and I did help) finally burning all the limbs from the tree. Freak accident happened one morning when Wil and I were burning, Wil sprayed my legs with bug spray and them himself. He went to put more limbs on the fire and the flames instantly jumped to his hand and caught him on fire. Short story...bug spray is flammable and after 12 hours of soaking his hand in cool water he ended up with four large blisters. Phew. The next day, Chris was carrying the big logs into a pile an he slipped and fell on the rocks tearing up his arm and legs. Last weekend Wil crushed his finger while rock climbing, not broke just ripped the skin off and couldn't catch in his baseball game (other hand than the burnt one, so yeah he is a mess). And while at the lake Chris got a nasty sun burn and ended up with thousands of blisters all over his torso which have now popped and are peeling, he looks worse than our lizard Izzy! AND last but not least...Wil has some friends over this morning and they are jumping on our broke trampoline (of course why wouldn't you jump on a trampoline with half the springs missing ;) AND...wait for it..........

A SPRING POPS OFF....

FLIES ACROSS THE YARD....

AND BREAKS A SECOND STORY WINDOW IN KATE'S ROOM!!!!!

Really people, we can not make this stuff up!! Real life is messy!! I'm glad no one is seriously hurt! So there ya go! Messy things happen (and not just in threes)!

Back at the ortho...LONG time in the chair, gonna be a Motrin kind of day.

Sooo hot at baseball...a double and single so far!

It might be official...Kate is taller than dad!

Ok...the fireworks tent story! The first week of set up was brutal, 98 degrees, heat rash and 14-18 hour days. Still exciting and a HUGE learning curve. Land rental, tent lacing, tax ids, zoning, building permits, fire inspections, marketing, etc! Even the threat of tent shut down 30 minutes before opening! But the slooowww sales and even worse weather, flooded tent, drainage ditch dug, no sales and shut down with open ditch...end of week two very, very unhappy owners. Last week no one but owners worked...sad for me because I had hope to make enough money for a Hawaii ticket, but I suppose it all worked out for the best, because I would have missed out on, soccer pool party, two lake house trips, the parade and concert and fireworks at the arch, family boating trip, sehy's baptism, seeing Alan and Chandra, etc! Ill get to Hawaii eventually, really miss seeing Amy and her boys! I could write a book about a fireworks tent! There is money to be had, just more work than you think and not millions, but for three weeks of work could be worth it! So glad I did it, I have files full of notes and am sure i'll be telling fireworks tent stories for years!

Kristen's jump! First of many

Kate the second kid brave enough...and of course se did it again and again

Yes he did this dozens of times before the big kids could get up the courage! See Kate standing below...it was very, very high!

Wil's first of 100 jumps of the day

Liz first and only jump!

Always fun with the cousins!
