• Hi Again!

  Sorry, it's been a week.  We've been busy!

  The girls and I went to Zimmerman today for a parade and carnival.  Jon came from work and watched the parade with us.  Norah loved it--clapped, danced, waved.  Olivia was terrified of the loud noises--police cars, fire trucks (a LOT of fire trucks), motorcycles, loud music.  I was surprised that there were only two bands--well, three, I guess technically.  One marching band, one sixth grade band being pulled on a trailer, and one young rock band that consisted of two drum sets, a base player and a guitar player, also being pulled on a trailer.

  We did score LOTS of candy!  It took awhile for Livi to figure out the drill, but by the end she was running to get the candy with the best of them!  Okay, maybe not the best of them, but she at least noticed when they threw it and would go pick it up if it was within two feet of one of her parents.  Any further required hand-holding. 

  Next we went to the carnival.  We spent enormous amounts of money on ridiculously small amounts of food, rides, and games, but we had fun.

  And, a first for me in over two and a half years now...

  I forgot to put sunscreen or hats on anyone.    It was cloudy, cool, and windy, but we all came away with pink cheeks, foreheads, and noses.  Not bad, but we definitely have some color!  It's the first my girls have EVER had.  I vow to do better from this point on.  Bad mama!!
