Ice cream

We had a long day frying an egg on the street (or trying to), cleaning out the garage and washing Matt's car. When we were done we cleaned up and headed out for an ice cream treat.

Was it hot enough to fry an egg?

It was a hot 100 degree day today, but not hot enough to fry an egg. This is Ruth's science project so we'll try again next week and in a month or so graph our results. Stay tuned.

Happy 9 1/2 Birthday Ruth

We had a nice family day yesterday celebrating Ruth's half birthday.
Books and an animal, what a great day!

Making lunch

Ruth wanted chicken drumsticks for lunch this week so we are making them now.

Fathers Day and our (new) Saturday mornings

We celebrated Fathers Day on Wednesday this week. Here are the girls helping get all the food ready for the grill.
Our neighbors have left for TX so the girls playmates are gone. This will be an on going adjustment, for now there is more playing with each other and more fighting!

Mary pictures

Here are some pics of Mary I took a few days ago.

The pig

u

Mary took these a few weeks ago.
At the time Piggy was recovering from a tumor and her prognosis was not good.
We got home last week and it seems she has made a full recovery.
Welcome back Piggy, we love you!

The circus

While in Colorado a few weeks ago my Mom took the girls and I to the circus.
I cannot remember a time when I have had so much fun.
