Pile burning

My father came up to deliver Jenn her b-day present and stopped by on Friday to help Greyson burn these huge piles of brush that they had cut down in the fall. When I got home from work all they had left was a large pile of coals. It had rained all day so they were both soaked and filthy (and my laundry room was soon a wet smelly mess). Luckily I decided to bring 2 pizzas home for dinner because no one was up for cooking. It was a fun visit with lots of movie watching (zombies and aliens), junk food eating and even one more small fire the next day that I started. But it was a beautiful sunny day on Saturday and I got the lawnchairs out to sit fireside.

Work is really busy and a bit stressful right now. I am doing environmental permitting and I have 2 deliverables do this Friday. My boss is editing my work today and yesterday and I am anxious to see what he will say. I also leave next Wednesday for Little Goose Dam. We are staying in Dayton, WA which is about an hour NE of the Tri-cities. The hotels in these little towns are never very nice and the lack of dinning options often gets tiresome. When I return from that 2 week trip I will be halfway done with the pregnancy and will go in for an ultrasound and should find out the sexes of these babies. My father seemed impressed by my small belly. It did seem to come out of nowhere.

How was everyone else's weekend,
