4th of July at the Steen's

I mowed the lawn and weeded. Marty finished the front deck and put the siding back on.
Marty built a new deck for the back door.
I weeded some more, mowed the lawn some more and then pruned some trees and fertilized my plants.

Then we went swimming to cool off. It wasn't very hot but we worked hard so we really enjoyed it.
Then we barbecued Hamburgers and made potato salad. Mom couldn't come she ended up helping out at the High School. They are sewing for the Pageant. So Dad ate with us. The girls didn't come either, I guess Amber sang at a grand opening of a hotel in town. I didn't even know, the girls told us about it 5 mins before so we missed it.

Then I went with the girls to see "Hancock" it would have been a good movie but they swore a lot. The kind of swearing you can hear on TV all the time now but a lot more of it and it never seems to stop. Very dissapointing.
We got home at about 11:30pm. I went to bed, marty was already there and the girls stayed up to do sparklers and stuff. There were no fireworks in town this year. :( but our new neighbor let off some huge ones about 12-1 am. The illegal kind, it was SO LOUD. I guess the mayor, who lives a few houses down, yelled at them. I was to tired to crawl out of bed and find out what was going on. I had to get a report from the girls in the morning. Hey! I'm not old. I worked really really hard!! I thought it was a great day!
