Ten on Tuesday

1. We were driving to Taekwondo the other day and Intergalactic Planetary, by the Beastie Boys came on the radio... I turned it up a little bit and Zoey said, "Mommy, can you turn it up more?" So I did. And then she said, "Come on, Max, we need to listen to this and move around and get PUMPed for Taekwondo!"

2. This is classic Max humor- We were at the pool the other day and the kids were taking turns jumping in. One would tell the other one what kind of jump to do. They were doing puppy jumps, and letters, and twists, and cannon balls, and then Zoey told Max to do a HIGH jump. You know, jump as high up as you can go? Max gets to the side, and as he jumps off the edge, he waves and yells, "HI!"

3. We got some new scooters!! They are the malibu cruiser scooter with bigger wheels! And both kids got one, so no more fighting over one scooter! hooray;)


The bigger wheels are nice for going over the cracks in the side walk!


4. We returned from our vacation to this!


5. And this picture is just for Ross... we were trying to grow grass here... and it succeeded while we were gone as well!



6. Ross left us a sweet gift... He put tiny little love papers all around the house for us to find once we got home. 60 for each of us. They have brought many smiles for each of us as we randomly find them!



7. I'm not sure what it means, though when lots of mine are in places involving domestic duties...

8. I'm actually hoping for a thunderstorm so that I don't have to water the grass tomorrow.

9. If you have any book recommendations I will take them... something light, easy reading and not scary or anything, would be great. I can't handle anything else when I'm alone in the house!

10. The kiddos got their haircut this week. Here is before:


And After:


Happy Tuesday and Hooray for August!
