Ten on Tuesday

1. Tonight Brianna had a "show" for us. She brought out a bunch of stuffed animals to watch with us. Her brothers ended up dancing along too.

2. During the dance show Caleb stood up by himself, not holding on to anything for the first time.

3. Brianna is determined that we are going to do homeschool this summer so I've been trying to come up with some fun activities to do with her. Today we did ice cream math and a long a word search. I think we'll start a word wall to help her with her writing. Turns out she loves to journal write and I want to encourage that.

4. Our mini vacation in Bakersfield was fun. We we went for four days. My brother just moved to a house with a pool in the backyard so we swam everyday. Brianna woke up yesterday morning and the first thing she said was, "I already miss Bakersfield." They loved being there.

5. While in Bakersfield we went to an engagement party for my nephew. It was beautifully decorated. I think this was the first engagement party I've ever been to. The only other time I heard about one was on the movie "The Wedding Singer".

6. Went to see Iron Man 2 at the cheap theater last night with Chelsie. I love Iron Man movies.

7. I wanted to go see the opening of "Eclipse" tonight but they sold out before I could get tickets. :(

8. I need to get exercise but am often stuck at home all day without a car and don't want to take all the kids out for a walk (I need both Caleb and Matthew in a stroller and my double stroller has a flat tire). So today I found some workout videos on U Tube. I did some yoga and a little bit of Zumba. Brianna did it with me. It was fun!

9. I'm hoping the we get to go to the fourth of July parade on Sunday. Danny's back is really sore so we'll probably just watch from the sidelines and collect candy. (Like my kids need more candy.)

10. I sewed my first thing. I made one of Brianna's shirts that was too small for her into a bag. I still need to take a picture of it.
