Heard Around the House #41

Lyla:  I really like the new Taylor Swift song!
Me:  You know, she's coming out with a new CD soon, so she might come in concert next summer.
Lyla:  If she does, can we go??
Me:  Maybe.
Lyla:  If we do and she has a tip jar, I'm going to give her FIVE DOLLARS!  Well, if not five, then definitely two... not only one dollar... she's a REALLY good singer! 
Me:  Lyla, honey, you are not going to get anywhere near Taylor or her tip jar....


*********************

Me:  Lyla, how were the bars you took for snack today?
Lyla:  Good.  OH - we can't bring anything with peanuts, someone is allergic.
Me:  Oh, ok.  Were those bars you took today ok? 
Lyla:  I think so, he didn't sneeze...

Summer Recap - August 2017

August 5th

We spent the afternoon at Narcisi (which we'd been trying to do all summer).  Then in the evening we went to community days and FINALLY got to see some fireworks!





















August 6th

Happy 12 year Anniversary to us!  Lyla went to a birthday party for a friend that morning while Gary and I went to breakfast just us to celebrate!

















August 7th - 11th

Lyla did another week of Science Camp



August 16th

We said goodbye to the Holmes Family.  It was something we had been dreading all summer long.  Amanda, Justin, Becca, Angie and Nina moved to Houston, Texas for Justin's job.  The girls were very mature about it even though we are all so sad.

























August 19th

Lyla and I did a Bubble Run 5K with Ashley in the morning.

























Then in the evening we celebrated Grandma's 60th birthday!



















August 22nd

I took Lyla to get her hair cut for school... with a special surprise of dying some of it pink!
