A Narwhal Named Nar

Oh Snap Pickles
Photo-A-Day #4090

I found these pickles at Target. I had never seen them before but was looking for something good to snack on at work. I got this as well as some baby carrots and a few other things. The pickles are really delicious. I will try out some of the other flavors soon?

Today was a work day and we weeded about 75% of the garden. We got to it as early as we can before it got too hot. I’ll have to go back and finish up the rest of the weeding as soon as I have a morning get it done.

Today was also the first day in a very long time when I had the opportunity to sleep for a few hours. I just lay there in bed and could not sleep at all. I worked hard and slept poorly but still couldn’t get any more sleep.

When I woke up Allison was giving Andrew his new knit narwhal. He loves narwhals and asked Allison to make him one. They went through the colors of yarn and he picked purple. He also picked a sparkly white yarn for the horn. He loves it very much. Allison continues to create so many great knit items for everyone.

We then went to our friends house to go swimming and enjoy some delicious pizza. The kids had a great time. We did as well. It is always fun to spend time with our friends. They are always great hosts.

Lightsaber Balloons and Games of Splatoon

Ice Cream Monster
Photo-A-Day #4082

Andrew and I played Splatoon a couple of times today. I downloaded it the other night as it was on sale on the eshop for about $40. It was a good discount and I knew that they would like it because it is a game that Andrew plays every time that we go into Target. When the kids and I got home we all played the game and I was amazed at how quickly the kids picked it up. Eva played for the first time and kicked all our butts three times in a row. She loves to trash talk, too. Not that she really knows much trash talk except for “Oh Yeah!”. We had a nice time playing until Andrew went a little too wild and he rolled over on the Wii U gamepad. I had to put a stop to it and turn off the game. He’s got to chill out and not break something that we enjoy playing as a family.

I took the kids to Friendly’s tonight and when our meal was over there was a Balloon Artist. The Balloon Artist made some nice balloon lightsabers for the kids. They both wanted the same thing. Then they made some epic poses. I got a little of them goofing around with their lightsabers after they got them. They are so silly.
