Cream Cheese

We had a great Fourth! We went to this America tribute concert in the park. B-rad bought the kids these cute fourth of July clothes. They were so so cute that day.

This was Chloe at the same show last year.
This year. She is full of sass and imagination. Tonight she told us what her eyes were for, what her mouth was for, what her ears were for and then she says, "this is my nose and it's for (and we were expecting "to smell")...and it's for...sneezing!" She is a pure delight.

Ezra is as EZ as his name says. Just hangs out, sleeps when he gets a chance and just smiles and loves affection.

On the 3rd, these two loves slept out in the tent. Brad told me they talked and talked (I did'nt ask what about because that's daddy-daughter secrets) They ended up falling asleep and were doing good until 1130 when Bluebird had to go potty and then her legs hurt (darn those growing pains) We all ended up sleeping in our bed and got about 5 hours total.
-I went to Sam's Club and bough a big case of cream cheese because I bought a bag of bagels. 6 cream cheeses. I checked that they expire in November and felt like I'd for sure use them by then so good deal-good purchase. Well, it's been 4 days and I've used 3 of them. Yep. Italian Chicken...check, bagels with cream cheese...check, and cream cheese brownies...check.

-We've been having "festival" around our house lately. Not tea-parties but "festivals" complete with custard cakes and posters to announce the party. Thanks Strawberry shortcake. It's very cute:)

-Starsky came in a couple of nights ago leaving a bloody footprint everywhere he walked. We finally laid him down to discover that he had a huge gash in his paw and it wouldn't stop bleeding. Eventually, Brad cleaned the wound and wrapped his foot. A doctor's a doctor anytime, right?

-B-rad has been dominating his rotations. He just finished ER and got rave reviews but it didn't change his mind. He's still pro radiation-oncology all the way. That means he will work with cancer patients. He's got 3 big tests coming up. I get to act out all sorts of ailments and he gets to diagnose me and come up with an accurate plan. it's pretty fun. Remember that Seinfeld episode? He's a 4th year med student. Way to go.

-I mysteriously got strep throat 5 days ago.

-We found a snake in our backyard the other day. I pretty much freaked out while Chloe told me to not be scared and "can I please touch it?" We put a box over it so it wouldn't slither away and I'm pretty sure we just baked the poor guy instead.

-Remember by garden? It produced some goods. Tomatoes, basil, one pepper, and lots of onions. I felt like I reduced my carbon-footprint just a little. I also like to save aluminum foil and reuse. Plus, can you imagine the difference if we all used reusable grocery sacks. I usually take atleast 2 to the store and feel good about that. They carry so much more but I get ticked when the bagger doesn't totally fill it to the brim. I'm trying to save bags, people.

And..the tour de France. Gotta love those guys and that race. My crush is Cancellara. I made these shirts a while back and Brad has been sporting his.
Bring on July!
