Matthew spotted a new Pokémon DS game in a TV ad last week, so new it hadn’t even been released yet, and he wanted to order it immediately. Mark found a good deal on Amazon, and Matthew decided to go for it. He was thrilled when it arrived this afternoon, a full week ahead of the earliest estimated delivery date on the order. :)
The kids went to another magic lecture with Mark this afternoon. They came home with these balloons that would somehow magically stick to the bottom of their arms! Amazing!
I think perhaps Kaylee’s hairstyle might give a small hint as to how this trick is done. ;)
When I got up this morning, the recliner was full of these little dolls. Kaylee told me she’d been having them model and pose. Apparently, I’d missed the show; she had already moved on to other activities, abandoning the fairies in the giant chair. The poor things looked rather bored; I found them all just staring at the ceiling. ;)
We rarely have fast food these days, and it was not the plan for tonight, but when we went to start tacos, we found that the new package of hamburger had leaked, making a huge mess in the refrigerator. By the time we got it all cleaned up, it was late and cooking was not seeming like such an appealing option, so it was Mickey D’s to the rescue. Thanks to a coupon Mark had, the four of us split two McFlurries (one Oreo, one M&M) for dessert. Yum! :)
The kids retreated to the master bedroom after supper to watch TV and play a bit with their DSi’s. Kaylee was none too happy that I invaded their relaxation time, so she started PictoChatting ornery messages to Matthew, asking him to get rid of me. :b
I had to go over to Kaylee’s school today during recess to take a few “filler” pictures of her grade for her yearbook. I was totally dreading it, since I wasn’t sure how cooperative they’d be, and I only had a few minutes to get the shots I needed, but it actually turned out to be fun. What a bunch of hams! :) I’ve never seen so many people begging to have their picture taken. I’d go to take a photo of two or three kids and all of a sudden there would be 20 in the shot. LOL
Don’t want to cause trouble by posting pics of the kids here without permission, so this is Kaylee and a few of her classmates’ feet! :)
Nice warm afternoon, so I took Kaylee to the park for a bit after school. She spent most of the time chasing little yellow butterflies around the soccer field.
