What They Missed- August 6

Friday, August 6-

This was not really a "I need a do over day" but I did take it kind of easy. I was feeling a little under the weather. That and the heavy smoke in the air outside made it unpleasant. 

 

See our beautiful mountains?

Me neither. 

We didn't get much done that day.

It was National Water Balloon Day so the boys watched a show with a water balloon fight in it. It was Wiggle Your Toes Day. We did do that. It was Fresh Breath Day so we ate some mints. It was Lucille Ball's Birthday so the boys ate some "yum yum balls" (Whoppers). Jr. Jr. thought he would be funny when he put "yum yum balls" on my shopping list before the trip. He was surprised and thrilled when I actually brought a box of Whoppers home for them to eat on Lucy's birthday. I did manage to make root beer floats for Jr. Jr. and Lucky to celebrate Root Beer Float Day.

Jeremy and the older two continued to work hard.

 

They had fun, too.

Cheeeeeese

 

More cheeeeeese

What We Did for the 4th of July

This year for the 4th of July, we were invited to a big BBQ.  There was food, there was a bounce house, there were water balloons and other water activities, there was great socializing, and at the end of the night, we all got a nice view of the local fireworks show- right from our friends' backyard.

We even let the kids stay up to watch the fireworks when we're usually fighting with them to be in bed at that time.  Hooray.  Win-win.
It was a good evening.

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish Sticks

May 25 is Towel Day.  I did things, right.  I sent all three kids to school with towels in their backpacks.  Nichole had a pool party through school today so she was already planning on taking a towel.
I convinced Lucky to take a towel so I could wash his favorite blanket today.  After it came out of the washing machine, he insisted on having it back.  "I like it wet," he let me know.
When we went to pick up Jr. Jr. from school, Lucky and I played a game with the towel.  When a friend came by, Lucky and she played the game.  So cute.

After school, we had "So long and thanks for all the fish" sticks.  I didn't take a picture but there are lots of pictures of fish sticks on this blog already.
This evening, we went out to play with water balloons and towels.  The towels only lasted so long before they were abandoned for water balloon war.  Fun stuff.
