The Perfect Niece - Day 4

I guess you are wondering who is the perfect niece? Well today the award goes to Jenn! Let me start at the beginning. This morning (Saturday) we all went down to watch the community Golf Cart Parade where the entrants decorate their carts for Independence Day. I can't even venture a guess at how many there were but I'd say at least 30. We were at the start of the parade and they were throwing out candy to the watchers. The kids loved it - it was like Halloween. Then we walked back along the creek. I was already tired when we got back to the house but Jenn insisted on painting the top windows that I have not been able to tackle since I started this trim-painting project three summers ago. I couldn't let her do it all by herself while I watched so we both went up on the roof. With their help I got up there but it was pretty scary. Tim was the paint gopher refilling our paint cups as needed and keeping an eye on the kids while they napped. After we finished the top front windows (which is all I was concerned about today) Jenn insisted on doing some more painting on the deck. By the time we called it a day I was wiped out. Then they took Elle and Miller to the pool where I joined them later. After all that Jenn cooked a fabulous dinner. I figured we would give her a pass on cards but trooper that she is we played two more games tonight. Tim won the first one (making it three in a row) and I thought if he wins the next one there will be no living with him. Thankfully I won the last game. It was a very busy but fun day. Some pictures to look at and one video (Tim showed me how to take videos on my camera - look out now).
