Candyland Crisis Averted

This weekend we were out at the camp when a thunderstorm rolled in. Inside it was for a few hours, luckily the camp is full of games.

 The boys really wanted to play Candyland, and quickly got it out.
 

They were very excited until I heard the  "oh no" from the kitchen table. "There were supposed to be 4 players but there are only 2" "Now what do we do"

 Growing up my brother and I lost pieces to games all the time, While kids were yelling in Monopoly "I want the iron...I want the shoe" I was just like "UMM, I'll be this quarter I just found".

 I had them bring me a few Legos, and with in a few minutes, we had our third piece.



After getting off to a quick lead through the rainbow pass, I ended up losing 2 games in a row.

 The important thing was that we did get to play the 3 player version, and at the start of the second game, they were both begging to be the "Lego man"

My week, in a collage, in a poem, in a blog

I have seen this format used on several blogs,  and I really like it,    Making a collage,  numbering it,  and writing about each picture.    I like it,  one because it allows easy integration of multiple topics,  and 2,  because you get to make a freaking collage!!

I thought it would be a great way to sum up my week on this beautiful Friday.  Then I realized that I usually (when posting regularly) post a poem on Friday.   Well with nothing prepared,  I am going to make this one up on the fly,  so here it is,  my first ever collage weekly summary poem  Friday post. or CWSPFP.


1:With all this gorgeous weather
I thought it only fair
to hit the beach a couple times
with boogy board and chair

It may not be a woody
but the Mazda picked up slack
towels ,chairs and  boogy boards
all fit within the back

2: I started blogging from my phone
to see how well I'd do
the format was a little rough
but it worked and I got through

now I edit photos
where ever I may be
I put to much FX on this one
but hey,  the app was free!

3:At lunch I walk down to the beach
and practice a strange crafty
I tie up sticks with seaweed
and build a mini raft

This week I took a dollar
and used it as a sail
then tossed it in the water
it worked and didn't fail

It only took 3 minutes
till one girl took the leap
and went to get the dollar
in the ocean 5 feet deep.

4: summer time is wonderful
and please make no mistake
I love the way the sun shines
from the camp down to the lake

5:Today's another Friday
deliciousness at that
there's donuts in the office
and their here to make me fat

for many people are not here
they made a 3 day weekend
but all the donuts still just sit
waiting to be eaten

6:Leaving from the beach last night
the sun was setting fast
and so I grabbed this picture quick
to make that moment last

boys in towels in the back
wifey by my side
windows down along the coast
we took an evening ride.


So there is is,  My week,  and poem friday,  AND a collage post,  all in one.  Have a great weekend!!!

Summer Food

Even though we grill year round (yeah even in the snow) There is something about grilling on the first night of summer that just makes it better. Last night we did steak and corn.

There was potatoe salad to be had, but I havent figured out how to do that on the grill yet.
 





 
Have you started grilling yet?  Any good ideas I should try?
