A Week in Review.....

 This week has been busy....lots of mowing (when it wasn't raining), working in the garden, and getting ready for school!
On Friday, the girls and I volunteered at the Haymarket Theatre in Blacksburg for the Summer Musical Enterprises' rendition of Shrek the Musical.  The girls liked it.  Cailin just kept telling me that she wished she were on the stage.  This girl loves to act!  Her goal is one day be on Dr. Who.
After the show I dropped Cailin and Mikayla at 11 pm @ Mik's house for a sleepover.  Mikayla and Liam share the same birthday!

 On my 'to do' list I've had "weed asparagus patch" for quite a while.  Morning glories and crab grass were taking it over.  I finally got tow it and found this large preying mantis. I don't think I've seen one quite so big before.  He must've grown big and happy on all the bugs in the massive weeded mess I just cleared out.  Sad for him, but happy for my asparagus....they are starting to thrive and flourish.

After 1.5 to 2 years of NO camp outs for Connor's scout troop one was finally scheduled and completed!  Hopefully I'll have more photos later.  They went to Smith Mt. Lake to a Treetop Adventure facility and had fun climbing and walking among the treetops on ropes and rope bridges.
