The boxes all look great. I like the idea of the small ones for candies and such.
Retta, the weather is breaking records for heat here, so the pool is soooooo nice! Our thermostat in the shade of the deck was registering 95 and there's no sign of it cooling off anytime soon. Thankfully, my sil was able to bring a shade tent yesterday or we would have had major issues with everyone outside in our backyard. Our yard is small and with the pool, we didn't want tree roots too close, so the only shade is under the basement walkout/deck area. Even that area is only half shaded by mid afternoon, and would have accomodated maybe 6-8 people, nowhere close to the 25 who were there! The reunion went great though and with the heat many of them didn't care about parading around in a bathing suit and enjoyed the cooling effects of the pool. I didn't get the chance until later, and instead got to stand in front of a hot bbq on the upper deck and bbq all the shish-ka-bobs. Next time, I need to pick something that cooks faster, or that can cook in a crockpot! lol
