{we had to say good-bye to our old fridge on friday. a few weeks ago the freezer stopped working, & then last week the fridge stopped. so we were thankful to have our chest freezer & used the freezer as a fridge for a few days.}

{on friday, aaron & the neighbor tore down & rebuilt two of the fences in our yard, including the one between our houses. there was lots of overgrowth of plants on that old fence!}

{eloise got an early birthday present from grammie & grandpa, & she loves it. when you hit those balls with the mallet, they drop down onto the xylophone & make music. eloise likes to chew on the mallet & throw the balls, but that’s pretty much the same thing, right?}

{yay USA women’s soccer team! we joined the millions of other “fans” that watch women’s soccer once a year…}

it was a fun long weekend, but so, so hot! usually the fourth of july is cold & rainy, & marks the official start of summer in seattle, but we’ve been having hot weather (about 10 or 20 degrees hotter than normal) & coming out of the hottest june on record! needless to say, our A/C is working over-time. aaron was busy outside working on the fence & in the yard all weekend, so eloise & I hung out, & tried to stay cool. it was nice having him home though & around, even if we just saw him at mealtime! the fence is 99% done & I will share pictures soon! we didn’t have big fourth of july plans & didn’t even see any fireworks (we went to bed pretty early) but we grilled brats, corn, & s’mores. god bless america!

how was your long holiday weekend?
