Stormy but wonderful weekend catchup

Nea enjoyed her slide-assisted-jump in the backyard. Yesterday the slide got put into the wading pool for better splash effect-wonderful sunny afternoon just hanging out in the backyard!

And then I just had to run down the street to see the wonderful homemade octopus costume being worn by Marcos!

If we had to watch Mexico get booted from the World Cup, we couldn't have had better company. The Lopez' joined us for homemade pizza while we watched the sad end to that soccer match. Our pizza brigade was in fine form.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start. It's going to be rough getting ready for a really short week with the holiday ahead....gotta do whatcha gotta do!
