Day 34: Midsummer Night Dream Festival

This is an annual event in our town.  People dress their kids up like fairies and ogres (way more fun if you have girls, in my opnion) and they have different things downtown for the kids to do.  The shops put it on.

We live within walking distance, so we paced up the wagon and took off!

 It was our first time to go, and we were a little late...and underwhelmed, until we saw.....THE TRAIN!!!

The conductor was so high energy and fun.  It took us around the block.  Gabe and Ell were thrilled!

 

Day 33: "Racing Track"

Thank you, Pintrest.

Day 32: Weight Loss

Ok, I promise not to blog about this much, but today is the day I have weighed in and officially lost 10lbs.  I started at the beginning of May.

No before and after pics yet.  It's not all that noticable.  But I weigh the least I have since Gabe was born.  I am feeling great, starting to enjoy running again...and sometimes I even like eating healthier.  =)

I do have one picture to share:

Day 31: Scripture Memory

I'd love to tell you that Gabe has a large repertoire of Bible verses he can say perfectly, but this is how it truly goes.  He has several that he knows "pretty well."

This is what we've been working on lately.

Sorry for the coughing.  We're working on that, too.  =)

Day 30: Cooking flop

Tried a recipe I found on pintrest.  I thought the boys would love it.  Very cute in concept.  You just put dry speghetti through some hot dogs then boil it.  The result is little ... well, we called them jellyfish.

Great idea, right?  The boys thought they were weird.

This is definitely the before pic.

The after is too gross.  Too much food coming back out of the mouth.

Ell, on the other hand, showed great skill at eating only the hot dog and spitting the rest out.
