First week of August

Yeah, I couldn't think of a better title for this week's post, but here are our pictures. :)

Monday, August 3

Mara loves to play Hi Ho Cheerios, so we played tonight as a family. It's nice to be able to all play games together now.

Tuesday, August 4

Puck really likes our new TV setup because he likes to lay right in front of the TV. We think it's because that spot is right in front of the air conditioning vent.

Wednesday, August 5

Tonight, Mara wanted to "chat" on our DSes. Usually we just scribble back and forth, but tonight, Mara was working on writing her first and last name as well.

Thursday, August 6

We found a Wonder Pets activity book on clearance at Toys R Us, and Mara has been having a lot of fun coloring in it. She's gotten a lot better at it recently and does a good job of staying in the lines.

Friday, August 7

There is a squirrel outside my work that has an unusual tail. It's smooth more like a cat's rather than poofy like a squirrel's.

Saturday, August 8

We met my friend Kristy and her 3-year-old son, Ryan, at the mall today so the kids could play together and we could catch up. Then, we celebrated my sister, Diane's birthday. It was also the last time we'll see Robert for a while since he's going to basic this next week.

Sunday, August 9

Mara has been asking for a pair of Sketchers shoes for a while, and we finally broke down and got her a pair today. She loves them already. As soon as we put them on her to see if they fit, we knew we would have a hard time getting them off of her again. Then, we went to see G-Force since Mara's been asking to see it for a while. Later, we watched Mikey and Lani play some hockey at the StarsCenter.
