Today
C started sucking her thumb. It's funny to see. The first of my children to do so.
C also gets up on her hands and toes like she's wanting to bear crawl. That would be interesting.
E took a catnap on the boat while the big kids did some tubing. She's been partying hard during the day but hasn't been sleeping in as long as she used to.
E didn't want her chicken at dinner but loved the tortellini and blueberries.
A was rocking a pretty creative outfit.
A caught the first fish of the night
B caught a turtle on his pole.
B helped his dad paint a piece of football equipment.
A. E and I walked around town this morning/afternoon to check out the magic week events.
A, E, and I went to the village market where the Kiwanis was selling 1 dollar lunch meals. I bought 5 so I didn't have to cook. For 1 dollar you got a hotdog, bag of chips, bottled water, and a mini ice-cream sandwich. Can't beat it. The Village Market was giving away free samples. I got a whole box of crunchy granola bars and two packages of pudding cups. I love free things.
I tried an IT WORKS wrap last night and revealed the results this morning. IT WORKED after just one wrap. Unfortunately I will not be purchasing more as they are expensive but I just had to see for myself if I could actually see a difference.

Sorry CallaMae
for not posting a new picture on the blog header. I have spent time trying to figure it out but get sick of it after about 10 minutes of trying. I will figure it out eventually!
Kid Speak
So our Eliza is 3 today. I can't begin to explain the joy she brings to this family. What an amazing gift she is! I'll write more about our girl later. For right now I wanted to put into print some of the cute things she says. I find the 2/3 year old speech processing so fascinating. You can actually see their little brains at work. Here are a few cute things she has said lately. So wish I could remember them all.
Today her Dad took her to get doughnuts at Yoders. She kept calling them peanuts. "Dad and I are going to get peanuts!"
The other day she asked me if she could "whisper the floor."...she meant swiffer.
She got out our bucket of beads and asked if she could dump out the "seeds."
And she loves to help me clean and "spray." When she's done with each job, she always says, "Now we what to do Mom?"
Love her!!! Wish I had a super memory because knowing I won't remember so much of the adorable things the kids do and say really upsets me. I can't even remember from one day to the next sometimes.

Today
Very few groceries in the house meant french toast for dinner. Darrin got an omelet.
Suitcases packed for camping.
Playtime at the park for Milo's birthday. Thankful for really wonderful friends (both for me and my kids!)
My 8 (closing in on 9) month old CallaMae who ate an entire ice cream cone completely by herself. The ice cream was flat to the cone but nonetheless, there was nothing left of that cone but the stain on her shirt.
A boy who sometimes seems so much older than 7.
Freckles on noses admired.
Cuddling with the girls while watching Good Luck Charlie. Love Teddy's new haircut. Wondering how the cut would look on me. I'm not a teen so not sure it would look remotely close.
Sad sisters who had to go to bed before Brother and Dad got home from football camp. A detour to the hospital due to a player breaking his arm before the season even starts.
Peeking at all my sleeping children. Amazing.
Reminiscing on the good times with our van as tomorrow we pass it along to someone else and get a new (used) one of our own.
Being thankful for Darrin. I love the way he genuinely cares for others.
Being mad at myself for never remembering my camera these days.

Looking back...
I was looking through some photos tonight and came across a few that Jenny took this past spring of our preschool bunch. Oh my goodness what a crew!! I love these kiddos! We were blowing bubbles with homemade solution and the cut off end of a water bottle. CallaMae wasn't in the mood for pictures that day.

Summer Memories
Oh my goodness, we've done so many neat things this summer but I've been terrible about taking my camera along. So for the sake of preserving the memories, I'm going to list some of the things we've been up to.
A mobile lemonade stand decorated for the 4th of July. The kids pulled the wagon with a 5 gallon cooler in it around the neighborhood and made out pretty well.
A visit to the Nottawa Stone School (an old fashioned school house).
The Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary at the library. The kids held all sorts of cool critters and CallaMae sat on a tortoise.
Seeing a litter of border collie mix puppies.
Horse Camp with Isabel for my big kids.
Two vacation bible schools.
Taking rides around the farm on the cart pulled my the miniature horse.
A trip to Nottawa ice cream store.
A program put on by the Kalamazoo Nature Center. It was very interesting. The speaker was a huge wealth of knowledge. We learned about soil, critters that live underground, fossils, etc.
A birthday party for Taylie.
A day trip to Hidden Ridge Campground to visit Jason, Jenny, and the girls and then to visit Aunt Wendi, Zoe, and Ty.
Lots of swimming and tubing.
Catching fireflies.
Catfishing until super late.
I will update the list as I think of more things.
And of course things like the 4th of July Celebrations, and other things that I did in fact remember to bring a camera to. I will get caught up eventually.
