Clam Bake

Summer just isn't summer without a good old fashioned clam bake and our family has started a new tradition this year. My step brother, his wife and family moved to Potsdam a year ago and this past weekend we had our first family clam bake. Now it is going to be an annual event! We had so much food it fit on two large tables. I LOVED it. I love to graze all day long. We had clams, fruit with dip, antipasta salad, macaroni salad, veggies with dip, cookies, cake, chips, shrimp, salsa, etc. It is a good thing we played badmiton and lawn games or we would all weigh 300lbs!! It was a wonderful day, THANK YOU RYAN, KATIE, GWEN AND ELISE for a wonderful and relaxing day! Have a great time in New Finland for the next month!

Sunday we decided that our diningroom was looking kind of crappy. We decided that it needed a fresh coat of paint and a fresh coat on the trim especially. I now call ourselves the "WEEKEND WARRIORS". We finished the whole room and put it back together in only about 12 hours. Our only saving grace was that Ro's parents came over and took Seth to Wendy's for dinner so that we could both finish up at the end. Thank you Bonnie and Ro, that was a HUGE help! Our next project it to hire someone to come and refinish the hardwood floors in the diningroom. The carpet has to go!

Today is a mellow day. We are walking and grocery shopping this morning. Then tonight The Richards are coming over for dinner and a playdate with Morgin! Thus why I need to grocery shop!
