A series of unfortunate events

You can see here a timeline of recent events at our house (okay a month or so ago). We purchased a new storm door at Home Depot- a story in itself! Who knew you could bargain at Home Depot? The door would have cost over $300 but we got it for $100! Anyway, we took the old one off, and started to put the new one up. 4 hours later we were at the emergency room for Doug to get stitched up and a week later he took his own stitches out. Yesterday, he and his dad finished the door by putting the closers on. Right now they are fixing some screens while his mom washes windows and me? I am working on school work....really I am! I realize our blog does make visiting seem awful (getting shots, doing repairwork and cleaning) but I promise it can be fun! Our days in SC are numbered so don't miss your chance!

  

Raindrops kept falling on the car....

We packed a lovely picnic for Labor Day and ate it in the pouring rain in the car with the dog in the back seat.....this is a picture of the rain through the windshield.
Doug says, "That is beautiful honey, beautiful."

Baby turtles

We went to Folly Beach to try to see the baby turtles hatch, but alas they did not hatch that night.

  

Croquet....in the dark

A few weeks ago, Luke and Megan acquired a croquet set (from where we don't know- we didn't ask questions). They needed a place to play, so we mowed our lawn and made dinner. Luke printed all 14 pages of rules for us and then it got dark. So we didn't play. Except for Luke.....
  

Under the mat

Kina has taken to sleeping under the doormat lately. It seems to me that this would be itchy, but it is one of her favorite spots....She had a rough weekend with us dogsitting Gino and she spent most of this weekend under the bed.
