Long weekend+short week

High five if you had a great long weekend.

We cooked out with friends and both of our families over the weekend. I pulled out a mac and cheese recipe from my archives, and it was delicious. I'll have to share. And of course, made some refreshing cookie slop.

It seems Namath has gone vegan, so no meat for him.

We got brave and someone got a bath. And I do mean brave. Last time we attempted to bathe the beast, we took him to a local pet store that lets you bathe your dog yourself. He showed us his displeasure by, um, relieving himself in the tub. It was one of the more traumatizing experiences of my life. He's been going to the groomer ever since.

But, weddings aren't cheap, so in an attempt to save some cash, we decided to give it another go. We walked him around the block and he was too tired to do anything except enjoy the cool water. Success.

Captain got the sweet end of the deal - walk no bath. I think he was pleased.

We loved being outside this weekend. The humidity was virtually gone. Doesn't mean we didn't enjoy shade where we could get it, and some pool time.

Saturday night we grilled out with some friends and got to meet Drew's new lady friend.

Sunday night we ate with the Searson's and headed downtown to see the fireworks. (I had given up on my hair at this point in the weekend.)

We have a great spot we are able to watch from, so this has become one of our favorite traditions over the past few years.

Matt's sister's wedding is this weekend, which means a short week for us. We are so excited that it's finally here! The summer is flying by....
