Deliciousness

Scott fondly remembers going to Donutland for cherry doughnuts after church with his mom and grandma. This memory put us on the hunt for a Donutland and cherry doughnuts! Yesterday, Scott was driving through Cedar Rapids and picked up 4 cherry doughnuts. He saved one for me and one for Evy. Last night before dinner we all had a treat! Gotta break the rules every once in a while! Evy loved it and kept saying "Nummy!"

Moo!

A local nursery had a free petting zoo last weekend. Evy liked the cows!

Life is Busy...

As Scott and I contemplated our overloaded summer schedule I could tell the blood pressure was starting to rise. Each of us has a week out of town for work, weekend board meeting, birthday parties, fun travel to see friends, a girls weekend, a boys fishing week--pretty much the entire summer booked up. Fun stuff. But, overwhelming when layered over 2 full time jobs and full time household work. Then I remembered a quote from Ms. Mayhem "Life is busy. Get over it." Scott said, "You know, that might just be the right attitude." And, I think it is.

Poor Sucker

On my way to work this morning I noticed some poor sucker had been stopped by a cop. As I passed the poor sucker I noticed it was my husband. I always accuse him of driving like an old man so I don't believe the story that he got caught going 41 mph in a 25 zone. Because he happens to be a nice poor sucker he got off with a warning.

Coolio

On our way out the door for a walk Evy grabbed these shades out of her basket and popped them on. Too cool for school. Obviously.

Baby Burrito

In the evenings Evy likes to strip down to her diaper and be wrapped up in her blanket. We call it the Baby Burrito. Evy has started to say Baby Burrito which makes it even funnier.

First Time Out

Well, here's a milestone for the baby book. First time out. Evy's daily activity sheet from daycare included the following note today, "Evelyn had a rough morning and didn't want to share any toys and was fighting with another kid. She was sat in a little time out to cool down. It helped and her afternoon was a lot better!" I don't have any more details because I was late picking her up and her lead teacher was gone by the time I got there. In Evy's defense, she started coughing last night and was grumpy when I picked her up. I'm guessing she's getting sick. Ha--already making excuses for my kid's poor behavior :-)
