Babies R Us

We went to a sneak preview grand opening of the new Babies/Toys R Us combo store with our moms group. They had all kinds of characters and activities for the kids there. Joshua and Ella got to see a magic show and get their faces painted. Each of them got to pick out a new toy (reasonably priced of course). It was really alot of fun.

Ella got to be one of the stars in a magic act. The halo on her head turned yellow.

I was asked to be interviewed for a local morning news show while we were there. It's supposed to air next week, so it should be interesting to see. I'll post a link if it's online and if I don't look weird.

Fun in the Sun

The triple digit temps are here and we're always looking for ways to cool off that doesn't just entail sitting inside. So we got a little pool to splash around in. If I fill it up in the morning, the water is pretty warm by the afternoon. We figured out how to make our own backyard water park by pulling the big blue slide up to the pool and letting the water sprinkler spray over it. I'll try to get a pic of it next time. Happy swimming!
