PAGES OF US: Staff Duty and More Pool Time Fun

Yesterday, Aaron had 24 hour staff duty at work :( Since it was right in the middle of our weekend, we didn't do a whole lot. Connor and I were both awake when he left yesterday morning at 8:45, so we got to say goodbye to him.

He noticed the patches on his uniform.

Then he tried to peel them off.

High five for daddy!

After Aaron left, we hung out at the house until 10:30. Connor had fun opening drawers and cabinets in the kitchen. I am going to have to do something about that.

Where's Connor?

Aaron wanted us to pick him up from work at 11 so we could get his Father's Day present that was finally delivered and put together. We did just that, and then had lunch with at work before going home for the rest of the day.

His new mountain bike.

I had a relaxing evening after Connor went to sleep. I took a bath, painted my toenails, talked to Aaron for a little while, and curled up in bed with my kindle. That almost never happens, so I enjoyed it! Connor slept really well for me, so I was in a good mood when Aaron got home from work at almost 9:30 this morning. He was so tired though, poor guy. He skipped breakfast and went to sleep for a few hours before waking up for a late lunch. Once we all got ready, we went to an outdoor store so he could buy a helmet and chain for his bike. When we got home he played with his bike for a little while and then we did more weed pulling. It's a never ending job!

Connor got some new water shoes today.

It was my turn to pull weeds.

I lasted for about 10 minutes before I started getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. See the bug bite on my arm? That was 1 of 6... they get me even with bug spray on.

While Aaron and I pulled weeds, Connor played in his pool. The water got so dirty because he would get in the water, then get out and play in the dirt, then get back in. At one point he grabbed a big weed we pulled and put it in his pool.
