I found these pickles at Target. I had never seen them before but was looking for something good to snack on at work. I got this as well as some baby carrots and a few other things. The pickles are really delicious. I will try out some of the other flavors soon?
Today was a work day and we weeded about 75% of the garden. We got to it as early as we can before it got too hot. I’ll have to go back and finish up the rest of the weeding as soon as I have a morning get it done.
Today was also the first day in a very long time when I had the opportunity to sleep for a few hours. I just lay there in bed and could not sleep at all. I worked hard and slept poorly but still couldn’t get any more sleep.
When I woke up Allison was giving Andrew his new knit narwhal. He loves narwhals and asked Allison to make him one. They went through the colors of yarn and he picked purple. He also picked a sparkly white yarn for the horn. He loves it very much. Allison continues to create so many great knit items for everyone.
We then went to our friends house to go swimming and enjoy some delicious pizza. The kids had a great time. We did as well. It is always fun to spend time with our friends. They are always great hosts.
After last night’s trip to see Cirque du Soleil – TORUK I had much to catch up on. I had that post and video to go up and also a post about a Twitter Party for the Ring Video Doorbell that I’ll be a host on next week. And then later on I posted about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Oven that the kids and I reviewed. So, at least online I was pretty busy. The day itself was a little less busy. We skipped drop in play group and opted for me cleaning a book shelf in the living room. I organized all the games and books on the shelves and that inspired Andrew to want to play Boom Boom Balloon. It is a fun game and we have it on the video today.
In the afternoon we went and got haircuts. We saw my sister at the salon and she went and paid it forward and took care of our cuts. That was so nice of her. Andrew was very good at the salon. He played on the Samsung Kids tablet and then sat very well for his cut. We saw one of the kid’s babysitters there and she was getting a cut and colored some of her hair blue. I don’t think Andrew was a fan of that because when they asked him about it I hear our hairdresser say that he had no poker face. She’s right, he doesn’t.
We then ran to Target to get a birthday gift for the party tonight. And then to McDonald’s where Andrew played in the play place for close to an hour. I was hoping that I could get him to sleep a bit before the party but that didn’t happen. He faked me out when we pulled in to pick up Eva from school.
I brought the kids home and got ready for work. Then it was off to the birthday party. I dropped them at Monkey Joe’s and then grabbed a dozen donuts for National Donut day and headed to work.
