This week

1. I took the girls to a preview of "Cinderella," put on by the Hale Center Theater youth group. They did a free performance at the library, and the girls loved it. I knew they would. We got a couple pictures with cast members after the play. (Photos from my phone, and I'm still learning how to get good pictures with it, hence the weird coloring)

2. Carter has put up with a lot lately. During swim lessons, he tried on Damon's goggles. Not a fan. But he did seem to like his second experience with the swing at the park.

3. Allie wanted to ride her bike without training wheels. I was sure she was going to fall and would throw a huge fit, refusing to ride again for months (like Damon did). She surprised us all. She rode, she fell, she didn't cry, she rode again, and she has picked it up much more easily than I thought she would.

4. One day the kids were bored. Hmm, sounds like every day we don't have something planned. This particular day they made a fort. With tunnels. It was a lot of work. And I made them take it down before dinner. But it made for a fun afternoon.

5. Carter started eating sweet potatoes this week. And Kyla insisted on feeding him.

6. I got my first food from a co-op today (Bountiful Baskets). Pretty happy with the food I got for $15.

(7 plums, small seedless watermelon, bananas, 7 ears of corn, 3 English cucumbers, grapes, green cauliflower, lettuce, 5 lb potatoes, 3 tomatoes and 7 peaches).
