I took the kids to mom and dad's this morning to go fishing. Sam had a blast. The fish were biting and he caught about 7 really big bream. He was so excited. It really makes me happy to watch him fishing because it reminds me so much of the times I spent fishing with my Granny. It would make her so happy to know they like to fish. Lily, on the other hand, was bored after about 5 minutes. She complained that she was hungry, thirsty, sweaty, etc. The fish weren't biting fast enough to suit her. I'm not thinking she's gonna be much of a fisherman. I guess there aren't many princesses who are fishermen too.
After the fishing, we went up to the house to let the kids play in the little pool mom has on her back porch. I pulled up a chair to sit down and help Lily get her bathing suit on and wasps came at me from under the chair. I got stung four times on my right foot. I forgot how much those things hurt. When I first felt it, I honestly thought I had stepped on a piece of glass. Then I looked down and saw the bees flying at me and I realized what it was. Luckily, the kids were far enough away that none of them got stung. If it hurt me that bad, I can't imagine how bad it would hurt them. That was at least two hours ago, if not more, and my foot still hurts.
Last night when I came home from the grill, Brad was still in the backyard with the flood lights on trying to finish up the new swingset. He has done a great job! The kids even stayed up to watch. He probably finished up around 10:15 and we watched the kids try it out for about 15 minutes before coming inside for the night. They are really excited about it and so am I.
Speaking of my wonderful husband and all of the wonderful things he has been doing lately, I am sad to say he will be away at Boy Scout camp next week. I hate when he's away from home. I am not particularly fond of being at home alone, but especially right now. We have been getting along so well lately that I hate to see him go get all tired and worn out at camp. Then I know that he'll be behind at work when he goes back so that will stress him out, too. Maybe it won't be so bad, but I will really miss him.
