Grandma's House

A few Fridays ago we had a work party again at my Grandma's house. She was getting a new roof the next day. She has a flat roof and it had rocks on it so all the guys came together and helped get them off and clean it and get it ready. We fed them taco salad when they were done and the next day we went to help my Grandma some more with her house. The kids really wanted to run through the sprinklers or "sprinkles" as Ella calls them. We weren't able to so we promised the next week we would. Well the next week we went to help her clean her pantry out. She has a huge pantry and was having a problem with pantry moths. We washed everything and got rid of a lot of food in there! We enjoyed a lunch together at Granato's across the street and then worked for a few more hours. The kids took a rest and once they got up we had them play in the sprinklers! They were in heaven! We finished the night off at IceBerg Drive In for dinner. It would have been my Grandpa's 85th birthday that day so we figured it was a good way to honor him and to spend his day with my Grandma! Somehow the pictures got mixed up between days and I don't care!

Running through the sprinklers!
The kids had fun making a train with the lawn chairs! Easton was in heaven because of it all!
My grandma was wanting the guys to cut a big branch off her tree in the front but it was worrying her. Her neighborhood had dumpsters for the day and she wanted it done. A guy was going around asking if anyone needed anything done and she told him about the tree. He had it down and cleaned up in 20 minutes and only charged $20! It was perfect he knew what to do and had the right equipment, it was a huge blessing!
