Grandchilluns and screened porches...

We wrapped up Tucker's visit last week with the loose tooth. Got the report last night that the tooth was lost in the fountain at summer camp. Trey knocked it out of his hand after he pulled it hisownself. Hopefully the note got written to the Tooth Fairy last night and compensation was forthcoming. Last week Tucker mentioned getting a 'paycheck' from  the Tooth Fairy.
We picked up Lauren on Sunday night at our half way meeting spot. The Piggly Wiggly parking lot. She stayed up late Sunday night and woke up way too early Monday morning. She crashed on the coach before 7:30 last night. Mr. Macho carried her to bed but said it was probably the last time he will do that. She is getting too big to carry.
Love having Lauren come visit. It is happy/sad that she is growing up. I have to confess that she is an easier visitor than Tucker simply because she is a girl. And is older. Today we are going to try to pick up a rug for the new den. Furniture will be delivered tomorrow and we need to be ready for it.
Here are some pics to catch you up...

Tucker let Granddaddy put him through calisthenics. He especially liked to run across the yard in animal fashion. Granddaddy would pick the animal. Tucker would imitate it the best he could. I believe this series of snaps was in the manner of a gorilla. 

Gorillas beat their chests. 

And make monkey noises. 

Uncle Jay's tractor was the main attraction. 

Peyton came to play. She was hot. Thus the pony tail. She worked it. And she gave Tucker directions. Stop. Move. Don't. No. 

Lauren gets in on the action. Uncle Jay had her help him install the very last dead bolt. She even got to operate a power tool. Uncle Jay is the coolest. 

Lauren was itching to sit on the tractor. 

Update photo of back of house. Screen porch men were here Monday installing the skeleton of the porch. Screens should show up today. 

Tucker and Lauren both like to tickle the ivory. Lauren likes to play and sing. (No. Neither really plays. They just love to pound the keys.)

The saga of the floor continues. I am giving up. If you want to know who not to use when installing floors just ask me. I have narrowed the boo boos down to three spots that I want fixed. They are avoiding calling me back like the plague. My mistake = I already paid them.

Got to run. Lauren is needing pictures printed for the binder we bought yesterday. Color sheets include: Justin Bieber, icarley, Brave, and A.N.T. Farm. Going to print a few more now. See ya.
