Payton brought his blanket to Anna's indoor soccer game. Don't be fooled by the word "indoor" - the air conditioning is adequate at best.
Hey - they like their cantaloupe. No rind goes to waste.
The boys negotiate a trade with Scott. X number of french fries for one of his Nom-Noms (fried macaroni & cheese) at I {Heart} Burgers.
We killed the biggest scorpion I have ever seen. In our house. {{shiver}}
And the next day I picked up the library bag and out crawled a 5 inch long centipede.
And the next day I killed a giant scorpion again.
Needless to say, our pest control guy got a phone call.
The kids like to sleep all together in the family room from time to time. One night as they were gathering pillows, blankets, and choosing a movie (the LEGO movie), Anna came bounding down the stairs, "hey guys! I have my dream catcher just in case anyone has a bad dream!" So thoughtful. And it was probably a good idea because they were planning to sleep in the room where we found the big scorpion that very day.
At dinner one night Payton said, "My worst nightmare would be being a body-builder."
The kids entered the Studio C "win-a-lunch-date-with-the-cast" contest by posting a video on instagram. You can see it HERE. Also inspired by Studio C, Conner purchased a Dungeons & Dragons
Today we participated in the tri-stake Pioneer Day parade with our little Primary float and it turned out great! We had almost all the girls in pioneer bonnets, cowboy hats & bandanas on the boys, and there were ribbon wands, plenty candy to throw, and lots of bottled water and sunscreen. I'll be sure to share some photos soon.
BAKE: Scones with honey butter sounds delicious right about now.
EAT: I made some yeasted waffles and they were . . . interesting. Something went wrong but we did enjoy the nutella whipped cream.
WATCH: We introduced the kids to The Beastmaster
CREATE: Smiley favor pouches - just adorable! And this DIY kinda makes me want to dress up as a pineapple for Halloween.
ENTER: Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a copy of The Best-Kept Secrets of Parenting. Ends on Sunday!
