Hair raising

It was a hair raising experience!

Magic house day

We are squeezing in as much summer fun as we can! We took the whole family back to the magic house on Saturday for some kid fun!

Braid bun

The Internet it a great invention. It is full of information. For example, there are hundred of different tutorials showing how to execute hairstyles. Lucky for me, Amelia is game for trying out most of them.

Shark carrot

Look mom! My carrot looks like a shark!

Gemma

John and were scrambling to make dinner. It is the most stressful time of the day. Kids are crabby and hungry. John and I tag team many days in the kitchen. Someone breaks up a fight and someone else pours milk. Then we switch. Someone cleans up a spilled cup of milk and the other attends to a bathroom emergency. Many nights this goes smoothly, but many more nights it is a frustrating one step forward and two steps back type process.

Last night, Gemma came running in crying. She was holding her arm.

Mama: Gemma! What is the matter?
Gemma: I hurt my arm!
Mama: what happened?
Gemma: I don't know.
Mama: what were you doing?
Gemma: something crazy

I started towards her to check out the injury. Before I took two steps, she spied a toy in the next room and took off to go and play.

Apparently she was just fine?

Cookies

We bought a cookie to share after lunch.

Gemma ate most of her piece, and then started offering chunks to daddy. Breaking the cookie up was making a huge mess. I grabbed a napkin and started cleaning up the mess.

Which is when Gemma turned to me and said, "I'm saving all these crumbs for a mouse-y. The mouse-y will eat up all these crumbs!

The wave

We rode the wave ride and then William and Amelia wanted to get drenched on the bridge. Mom and dad weren't interested in getting more wet. Just behind the wave ride is the very intense roller coaster I talked both kids into riding called "boomerang".
