Enjoying the Summer

Summer Stuff

This week has been really fun at the park when we go for lunches because the girls keep seeing a new friend who is fun and makes games for them. I know her from singing in the stake Christmas choir and she comes to the park for her lunch break after spending all day with kids. There was also a 'birthday party' for the healthy lunch mascot, Westly, that made lunch on Friday even better. It is already their favorite day because of what they serve for the meal, and they get chocolate milk, but this one had prizes and a booth from one of the dentists in town, too. None of us won the raffle, but we clapped for the kids who won prizes, and Shay was only sad for like 30 seconds. Adrian was fascinated and kept pointing at the dragon, wanting to touch it, but was still a little cautious and wouldn't walk over by himself. I made the girls some dream catchers because Shay asked if we could go buy one so she could stop having bad dreams. They love them, and we put them near the window and door to make sure all the dreams that come into the room are filtered and only good dreams get through. 

Visiting

I had a girls' night this Friday and was able to host a wonderful party with some friends. Everyone brought a charcuterie board, and the theme I chose was s'mores. There were others like sushi, pulled pork sandwiches, fruit, sodas, and treats. We had friends come to town this weekend. I can't believe I didn't get any pictures, but they all played so many different games together, and we caught Claire telling their oldest son that she loves him! They were playing with a walkie-talkie, and he was trying to hide her saying it by putting his hand over it, but I know what I heard! Luckily, they are too young to know better, and it is all good that they get along. It was nice to be able to catch up with our friends, even with all the kids around, making it a very crazy house. We started dinner with most of them outside last night, and it was quiet for a good 10 minutes.
