Our Furry Children... a Recap

So apparently when we are not crazy busy, we are boring.  Since I left for TN the week after Hop Blossom and Aaron left for Italy Round 1 as I was coming back, we have done very little to write about.  Once we were both back, we painted the foundation on the house and had some people over for 4th of July.  That has been the highlight of the last 4 weeks.

While Aaron was gone, I did a LOT of movie watching with the pups... Here's a recap.

Gus was NOT thrilled with the back-to-back missing parent thing.  He checked the door every day to see if Aaron was coming home.  It was cute, but kind of sad.

To distract them from missing Aaron, I bought them a big fluffy/squeaky giraffe.  It lasted 5 minutes.  And they loved it.

They both wanted to chew on the same spot, even though the thing was 3 feet long.  Silly puppies...

When Aaron got back, he showed me all of his pictures!  They "worked" during the week, but spent the weekend at some cool places!

And then he crashed... hard.  He blamed jet lag.

We had to paint our foundation (HOA orders), so we bought a pressure washer so that Aaron could clean it.  He got distracted by cleaning the bird poop off the fence instead...

Irrelevant picture that was just too cute not to share...

Aaron smoked ribs for 4th of July.  They were a hit!

He also found a random fireworks cart in town and bought some fun fireworks!  The dogs hated it...

To make up for the scary fireworks (both our cheap ones and our neighbor's actual legit fireworks), they got extra snuggles that night.

And they were back to normal the next day!  Just a tad bit tired.

And since then, we've done nothing.  This is a picture from one lunch time while we sat outside.

And so here we are... A significantly shorter "Movies to watch" list on Redbox and one painted foundation later.

And Aaron is BACK in Italy this week (because his life is really rough, clearly), so Redbox and I are getting reacquainted.  5 movies in 1 weekend... too much?  I think not.
