Well, today was just another day. We had a good breakfast and then I made an appointment to go see the dentist today since I was off and could take as much time as I needed. I HATE THE DENTIST. HATE. BUT... I really liked this one and all the nurses and staff there! It makes me actually want to go back! And well, I have to, because I'm going to need 2 crowns on some teeth in the back where I munch accidentally on a ROCK in my black beans at Willy's Mexican. Ugh... expensive rock. And it's not even a diamond. Anyway, whilst I was away (sounds so magical) Ryan and Ben hung out and cleaned the garage up a bit. When I got home it looked MUCH better and Ryan had also done some laundry too. Good man. But I did some dishes this morning! Does that count? We went to the pool again today. (It smelled like poop. I think because a dog did near by, but man was that stinky! Kinda ruined it for us...)
When we got home, we barbecued some chicken which was delicious. Then after Ben's bath- he was pretty much done with us. He kept saying "Night-night Daddy!" and asked if he could get in his bed! No arguments here kid! Shortly before he was going to bed, we started hearing thunder and then it got stronger and stronger and lightning was hitting. The dog was more scared then he was, luckily, and he still went to sleep just fine. He's such a dang good sleeper. After the storm blew over, Ryan noticed across the street that there were hundreds of little fireflies in the neighbors yard and I just love those little buggers, so I went and videoed them. That's an awesome part of living in the South! I'm so glad my kids get to grow up with those! You can see lightning in this clip and hear the thunder! I busted a move inside after that because it was pretty close!
Our garden is still doing well, although it's been pretty dry and hot the last few days. Today was the first time in a while we've had an evening pop-up storm. Which is good, because the whole yard needed a drink and I just can't foot the bill to give it to it! We've got green peppers growing like champs, the snap peas are podding (is that what you say?) and of course any day now we'll have a red tomato! Although, I'm almost tempted to pick the HUGE green one we have and attempt to make some Fried Green Tomatoes... but I've never had them before, so I'd better leave that to someone else to do. Well, that's it for our Tuesday!
