Meghan and Sarah C! After the picnic, Meghan went home with some friends to play the card game "spoons"...hang out and have hotdogs....she came home around 7:30pm.
Ronnie and David...born on the very same day! Ronnie ended up on the field, where they were playing 'ultimate frisbee' , as did Sara....after a few minutes though, he decided it would be much more fun to play in the water and get soaked....he had so much fun today!
Belle and Sara...the back of Belle's shirt said "eating the competition"....it's a swimming t-shirt....I thought it was for an eating competition! LOLSara came home, relaxed, had dinner then babysat for our neighbors for 3 hours...she just arrived home.
(Above is a lightning bug in a jar...in case you were wondering!) typical summer evening activities....catching lightening bugs, playing outside, Ron washed his car....then we sat on the deck and had some icecream....a perfect Sunday evening!
We picked these up at the picnic....biology "toys"! Disecting a plastic frog...and a human body...Ronnie (otherwise known around here as "Boy Genius") spent hours working on these! They are so cool! 
The end of our evening....all my children are home, the girls are gabbing about their day...the little ones are tucked in, Ron is going to take a short snooze before going to work...and I'm going to settle in with a good book before I fall asleep.....a very blessed, simple Sunday! ~Sue~
Cutting the cake....it was pretty cool...each layer was a different cake batter, filling and flavor...they had a white cake with rasberry filling, mocha cake with chocolate chips and mocha frosting and a "snickers" cake...with a crushed snickers bars filling....WOW!
