FIRST MOVIE

Violet saw her first movie today. We went to the $2 showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We thought we'd test going to the movies with a $2 show. I'd rather be out $6 than $30 if she fussed and wanted to leave.

She did really well. She didn't like how loud it was and got squirmy the last half hour.

We've been telling her for a couple days now that we were going to go see a movie and get popcorn. I think she was more excited about the popcorn than the movie.

JULY 4TH FUN

Lots of yummy food.

Everybody chipped in and rented a bounce house. Violet was timid at first but quickly warmed up.

We had to start the fireworks early because rain was coming. The guys set it all up at end of the culdesac and everybody sits at the top of the street and watches.



Here's the last shot just before the rain really started to come down.

TEA PARTY

All dressed up for Hailey's 4th birthday. I made her a cherry apron that's reversible. I wish this picture has turned out better. She was dancing around the kitchen and I didn't have time to get my good camera so grabbed my little point and shoot and snapped this pic. To bad it's a bit fuzzy.

Pretty table.


First chocolate covered strawberry. Of course she ate mostly the chocolate and left the strawberry. She also didn't eat most of the other treats.

Of course the ate all the ice cream and cupcake.

OOPS, I FELL IN

When we picked Violet up from school on friday she was in a completely different outfit. Apparently she fell in the toilet and got all wet. We didn't have any extra shirts at school so she came home in some random shirt that I guess school has a stack of. Guess I'll be taking a shirt or two to school just in case this happens again.

We started the holiday weekend off early with a trip to Baskin Robbins. I asked Violet what color ice cream she wanted. She replied "green!". That would be mint chocolate chip, the best, and I will only eat it at Baskin Robbins. Now I've got Violet hooked.

FLASH(WAY)BACK FRIDAYS

Mollie Bernzen and brother Herman Bernzen. Great Great Grandma to Violet.

PAINTING

None of our friends were outside monday night so we decided to stay in and paint. Violet is really more interested in the water changing colors. I had to change the water about a dozen times because "it was dirty".
