Richard got two tickets to the OSU game from his boss and tried really hard to get me to go. But since it was going to be 90 degrees for the first half and pouring rain the second, I had even less desire to go than usual. Luckily, Kaylee was up for it and they got a fun date out of it. They had to wait for over an hour for the rain to stop in the middle of the game but Kaylee was a trouper and they were gone pretty much the whole day.
McKenna had to sneak in a daddy daughter date a few days later and of course she chose her favorite spot- the pet store. I wonder if she will ever get sick of that place?
Because of the mess I had with moving and no time to potty train Brooklyn, I ended up having to give up her spot in the preschool we had signed her up for in February. A few girls in our new ward were doing a preschool co-op and we decided to give it a try. The first day starting with her screaming her head off and clinging to my leg and not wanting me to go so hopefully she will get used to it soon or I might have to drop out. It's hard enough dropping my kids off when they are happy to go, it was killing me to do it when she was begging me not to leave!
The girls spent one entire Saturday making "potions". I was shocked at how long it entertained them! They had so much fun with it, they even face-timed Madeline to show her and got her making potions at her house too! It was a GIANT mess to clean up so this definitely isn't something I want them doing all the time but they definitely had fun with it!
Because Richard had to leave early and then was going to be at work really late on his birthday, we decided to celebrate his birthday the day before. We took him out to dinner and then had the Solano's over for cake. It was also two days before Tati left to go to BYU-I so it was also good to get to say goodbye to her.
I have been wanting to get a trampoline for a long time and so I kept my eye on facebook marketplace to see if we could get a good deal on one at the end of summer. We finally found a really good one but it was 40 mins away from us. We decided it was worth it and drove all the way up there and then spent about 2 1/2 hours on a very hot day trying to take it apart. It was a terrible experience but it all ended up being worth it in the end! The girls have been out there every day and it has been really fun to have our first big toy for our house.
We finally had a gorgeous day and we wanted to get outside. We hadn't been to the little hidden waterfall for years, probably since Brooklyn was born so I wanted to take the girls back. I was excited to see their reactions but I was really surprised that they had no interest in it at all. In fact, they barely glanced at it before asking if we could leave. It kinda made me sad but we left and went to their favorite spot at the river and had fun there instead.
