Yes, I know I’m behind. That’s my story this week. It’s our last week of school and you know what that means: school parties, field day, concerts, programs, and graduations. Plus we have baseball play-offs. Busy, busy, busy! Anyway, this was last week.
Sunday- Father’s Day! I hope we made it a great day for hubby! The kids made lots of fun things for him at home and at school. I made banana chocolate chip muffins for hubby for breakfast. Then we went to Church where the kids made him some cards and he received a candy bar with a note attached to it from the Ward. After Church he opened his gifts from all of us, we ate a quick lunch and thenwent down to his dad’s house to wish him a Happy Father’s Day. We visited for a while with his parents and his brother and his family, then we came back home for a chicken dinner and banana creme pie for dessert. I called my dad to wish him a Happy Father’s Day and tell him how excited I am that they’re coming for a visit soon.
Monday– This week is Syracuse Heritage Days. For the last few years they’ve been having a talent contest called Syracuse Idol, so every Monday evening of that week we’ve been going to watch and vote. Some are good, some not so good, but it’s fun and we always bring our dinner to eat while we watch. This is Adam and Amanda’s expressions during a not so great performance.
Tuesday- We did our first activity on our Summer Fun List banner even though we’re not out of school yet. The kids are only going to have a few weeks off of school, so we’ll be working on our list even if we’re in school. Today we made our favorite summer dessert. Smores! I love my marshmallows on fire, hubby doesn’t like them brown at all and the kids are some where in the middle. Mmmmm, smores!
Wednesday- My little guy is the cutest kid ever. He’s amazing at pretend and loves to use daddy’s things to help him in his adventures. Here he’s Indiana Ammon. He told me all about how he found the treasure and what he had to go through to get it. He always makes me smile. He always wants me to take his picture too.
Thursday- Because my hair is so short I get it cut every 6 weeks. I love my stylist, Heidi! She colors my hair for me too. Highlights and color one appointment and just root touch-ups the next to save me a little money. Hubby looks great with gray hair, but I’m not even taking the chance. Oh, she give the best head massages too!
Friday- We went to the Syracuse heritage Days Carnival after dinner. This is the first year we’ve had real rides and not just blow up slides and such. We must be turning into a big city now. Just kidding, but the kids always have a great time and we always eat too many treats. Who can pass up cotton candy, ice cream, scones, kettle corn and lemonade? Apparently not us. My cute younger four.
Saturday- We love parades! Especially ones that we can walk out our front door, walk down 3 houses, across the street and then have our seat for viewing the parade. What would be even better is if I could get the parade to turn left instead of right, then we could watch it from our front porch. That’s my dream! The parade was great fun. The kids got lots of candy, some icees, free sno-cones, a few frisbees and balloons. Small town parades are the best! Emilee’s getting squirted by her friend Emily.
Now I’m going to try to get caught up on other things.
