First Day - August

By

The First Day of August was also my birthday! Since it was on a Saturday we had the whole day to have fun.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My delivery just happened to come on my birthday, so it was like getting a present!

Lots of new fragrance mists and some hand soap.

My girl wanted to bake me something special on my birthday. She bought a mix from the Amish store.

Rick and the pups lounged together.

Oh, Kyndal and Collin.

Someone woke up looking her age! A shower and makeup should help!

The blueberry muffins and coffee were delish! Thank you, Brynney!!

A decade ago on this day this girl was exactly one week away from making her appearance.

We hit a rain storm on our way to the movies. It ALWAYS rains when we go to the movies!

First movie of the day in Town No. 1.

Minions!

Watch out Pixels, we are coming for you next!

We road tripped to Town No. 2 to see Pixels.

Rick stopped and picked up Kevin at Walmart first. He's hoping he can keep his Wifi running smoothly.

We all met up for dinner at Applebee's.

And then went to see Pixels.

Kyndal bailed on the movie to go home and take care of post-surgical Chloe.

I bought a portable phone charger since my car charger won't work anymore.

And we bought some new games for our library.

Before I went to bed I put in a huge pork roast to slow cook overnight
for a family dinner the next day.

Busy and extremely fun day!!

Join Nicole at Journey to Josie each month for First Day. Take photos of your whole day and link up with her.

    Happy birthday! Looks like a GREAT day! Would you believe that I haven't seen ONE movie yet this summer? The kids have gone a couple of times with their Dad...but me? Nada! I wanted to see Inside Out. Is that what it's called? LOL

    I'm really sorry for not wishing you sooner, I meant to (I entered your giveaway) but hope you had a happy birthday. And I can wish that even more sincerely since I was born on August 2.

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.
