Jen, we never really encountered the driving dilemma because my kids are/were not social butterflies.
Nathaniel was super excited to get his license thinking he was going to suddenly be the cool kid to drive everyone everywhere. I explained that would not be happening. One, because it's illegal. Licenses are probationary and no one in the car not related(immediate family, not even cousins) for the first 6 months or year? Second, because we went over the rule of testosterone. Not applicable to your niece of course, and totally sexist, but in my experience, the more teen boys you have in a vehicle, the higher the level of T in the air and it clouds the brain. One boy will think of a stupid idea, but realize it's stupid. Two boys may have an idea, but one will usually remind the other that it's stupid or they will get caught. Three of more teen boys and all rational thought leaves. One has an idea, another seconds it and the third swears nothing will go wrong and no one will ever be the wiser.
Just no! 
Heather, yay for the bathroom nearing completion!
Michelle, hope the boys have a great day and return safely!
Paige, I worked in the garden too. I weeded.
But I have tomatoes the size of peas and pea pods that are just forming.
I won't get to your point for another month or so. Rats!
Robin, I hope the fingers are okay and you get your coop finished! : D
We headed out this morning to catch up on all the outside chores. We didn't
We weeded in the garden. I got the corn done, Julie did the beans and the boys worked on asparagus. Sigh. Still more to do. Not sure why, but the grass weeds are incredible this year.
Then my project of this summer is the pines next to our driveway. There are small stumps and baby trees, grass, pine cones, needles, etc, etc, etc. We have raked it all and have started destumping it. Nick and I did some Mother's Day weekend and Ben has been working on the raking. Today, we destumped quite a bit more. Hoping I can finish it Monday or Tuesday. Once it's all done, I'll sow new grass seed and wild flower seeds.
Oh, and we found a small den of snakes! Just garter. One was sunning on a rock and it was quite long for what we normally see. It slither underneath. Ben lifted the rock because he hadn't seen it and there were four all curled up underneath. That rock needs to be moved, so we stood it up to give them time to find a new hiding place. The large one took off right away, but the three smaller ones just lay there in the sun. I checked awhile later and they had finally moved off.
Dh had to run into town for a car part. He spent the day working on his brakes. I asked him to pick up pizza to bring home.
