Part Three of Five
Cousins’ Days at Our House
July 17-21
Jesse painting his box.
Jared using gold duct tape to decorate a bottle.
Ian painting one of his pottery creatures.
Gloria decorating her flower pot.
Diana and Jana chose a tie dying kit and t-shirts when we were at A.C. Moore.
Jesse adding glitter glue to his birdhouse.
Glitter glue turned out to be a fun thing for Jesse. It added pizzazz to his things, and he could spread it around with his fingers.
Don’t you love that face?
He is displaying his stones after they spent a day in the rock tumbler. (We bought the tumbler for cousins’ days last year.)
Then it was time to work. I had almost 3,000 TFC Highway News and Good News to label.
Jared helped by cutting the straps that bound each pack of 100 magazines and delivering them to the one who needed a new stack.
Gloria
Jana
Me putting a finished set of labeled and bundeled magazines in a mailing bag. When we were finished there were twelve mailing bags. Diana helped too, but was the one taking these pictures.
Then it was “wet time”.
This was the best $6.00 I ever spent. It was just a small hop scotch water game that thrilled these six on a hot afternoon.
Every time you jumped on a square, it sprayed water.
When it was time to quit, I gave each one a bucket of warm water (the hop scotch water was straight from the hose, and very cold).
Then it was count down – 1, 2, 3 – throw your bucket of water on the person to your left.
So ended Wednesday’s photos.
I forgot to take suppertime pictures. Bed time was early – maybe 8:00 – when the boys watched a video in their garage bedroom, while relaxing on sleeping bags.
The girls watched a video in the man cave, then went to their basement (my office) bedroom to sleep on their air mattresses.
Thursday Morning: Jana made french toast…
…after Jesse dipped the bread in the egg and cinnamon mixture.

Tomorrow Night: Visiting a small bakery and touring another neighboring farm.
