Weekend Happenings

All the kiddos were busy this weekend. Alvin had been looking forward to this day for nearly 4 months......

Mamadavia was dreading it for 4 months......working the Brat stand for 4-H. The kid loves selling stuff to people. Since he is so cute, i added a donation jar. Really, who wouldn't want to give to such a enthusiastic young salesman? There wasn't much business, so not sure how much money the club earned. That really wasn't the point for him, he liked having a real job (the kids really did almost all of the work, serving food and taking money.....while i sat and drank a lemonade).

Simon got her library card, and i promise she was more excited then then picture shows.

The girls went on a marathon shopping trip with Mamadavia (Alvin went to work with Dave that day, he hates shopping). I was impressed with Simon's grocery pack abilities, she is really growing up. Hopefully, soon i can just send her with a list, while i drink lemonade...... 

 Theodore on the other hand, is not as good of a shopper, she tries (actually, i am not sure she tries, but it makes me feel better to think she might be trying).
Broke my own rule and let her bring that baby doll in the store. Really, if i have to worry about the baby doll i may loose one of my chipmunks, a moms brain can only handle so much and this was stop #5.
There is a lollipop at the end of the road, and everyone made it safely back home (even the doll).

Mamadavia cannot live on lemonade alone, and on those busy days i run out the door with my protein shake and we are off. This particular day, i got a little distracted and my shake looked a little like a 7(or 4) layer drink. Never had that happen, and even though it was before 9am, it was still an easy fix.

Anyone, have a cat that acts like a dog? Alvin's cat follows him around the house like a dog, sleeps with him and if the kids go outside.....so does she, most of the time. Here she is crying at the door, because she heard them outside playing.

I will leave you with a video of Theodore. This is at the library, she is quite the little performer, she is drawn to that little stage and puts on a show every time we are there. This time since we were almost the only ones at the library (summer reading program anyone?) they did a bit more singing and dancing.

Now, everyone go have a glass of lemonade!
