Let's start with pop. About once a year, I get the urge to stop drinking it. Since I do about 99.9% of the grocery shopping, this means that when this urge hits, we don't have it in the house anymore. We were down to our last 12pk of Diet Mt Dew so this seemed like a good time to give it up. In addition, I was trying to drink more water in prep for my race this weekend and when I have pop in the house I'll almost always choose that over water. This was our last Mt. Dew - I really tried to savor it! Now let's see how long I can go without buying more.
Last week, Haden's school held it's annual Fun Fair. They kids both look forward to this event. We buy tickets and then they get to play a bunch of carnival-style games and win little trinkets. This year, Haden was obsessed with the Pop bottle ring toss game. He REALLY wanted to win a 2L of pop. For some reason he believed if he won it then he would get to drink the whole bottle himself. Pop is a big deal to him because we don't usually allow him to drink any, and on the rare occasion that he does get some it has always been caffiene-free. I think the pop game had the longest line out of all the games. He waited patiently and then was lucky enough to win a bottle. He was so proud and carried it around the rest of the night.
James has some fun this week helping Kye work on the van. They worked together to put on new back brakes. Both kids really enjoy helping Kye with mechanical jobs.
Here is a picture of one of James's favorite birthday gifts from me and Kye - fake smile included!
And I thought I'd include a video showing Beyblades. Many people have asked me what they are and how they work. It's not a great video because I had to balance the camera on my knee as I "ripped" my bey, but you'll get the idea. Two, or more, people rip their beys at the same time. They bounce into each other and the last bey left spinning if the victor!
