Friends

Friends of ours just moved into their new home in the country. Congrats Christine and Eric, your house is beautiful! We went to see their new home and Grant got some good play time with Jacob.

Needed Night Out

Lion King 3D came out and my husband was more excited than anyone. I refused to go to the movies on opening night with 1 million children, so we opted for the drive-in theatre instead. This turned out to be a good decision because the weather was cooler.

Grant was excited once we got there, except this is about the only time he wore the 3D glasses.

I was so excited to see they had the guilty pleasure of funnel cake. So good! Daniel got cotton candy and Grant said, "Is this food?" I wasn't sure how to answer that.
Grant decided I was more comfy that the bed of the truck. There IS more padding that way.

Near the end of the movie, a front blew in and it started to rain. Great end to another odd week.

Looking Toward Fall

Beauty in the Common Things: cooler weather. In this area, we've had 68 days with 100+ temperatures. The record is 69 days set in 1980. Such a relief to have high in the 80s. I'm going to cross my fingers that we don't end up breaking that record.

Dinner Plans: taco salad with Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs (my new favorite find!)

Listen In: review of college football. Bring on the Longhorns...if only we could watch them.

This month's family fun badge was "Learn Something Together"

Since we are a science minded family, I went with a simple science project: Sink or Float.
We got an empty bucket and filled it with water.

We then gathered nick-nacks to try out. In this case a stick, a leaf, scissors, a toy car, a card, a pine needle, a toy cow, a necklace, dice, cheerios, a pencil, a foam star and a nail.

Before we could make our hypothesis on each object, Grant threw them in the water. That is ok though, he enjoyed it.
In our log book, we would write that the heavier items sank and the lighter items would float (even the old drenched paper card)

The rest of the weekend was spent in the sandbox or playing with our cat, Kitty. Grant kept trying to get Kitty to look at the camera.

After the fun, came the catching up on chores. I scrubbed the floors while Grant took my order from his kitchen. No matter what I order, its always $10! But who cares, look at that smile!
