Ten on Tuesday

1. We celebrated Fathers Day with Poppy at the swimming pool Sunday. He still does the best cannon ball around.

2. So good that he tipped Drew out of the floatie he was in. I laughed so hard I cried just watching. I wish I caught it on film but I did not. It was priceless and Drew laughed the entire time.

3. The best watermelon is closest to the rhine, so says my mom. Ummm what?

No, no, NO.

I consider myself a bit of a watermelon aficionado. Taught by the world champion aficionado Marky B.. When this statement was made, immediate eye contact was made and disagreement was made all but quietly.

The best watermelon does not come closest to the rhine. It comes straight from the middle!!

4. My mom can judge a good brownie, we'll leave that to her. Bella as well. We have had brownie's twice this week and neither have come close to "the brownie's as big as your head".

5. Drew has terrible eczema behind his knees and now on the back of his neck. I mean if its not one thing its another with this poor kid :( I've tried everything and now ordered some organic goat milk lotion (I'm serious) that a friend of mine tried. Here's hoping it works.

6. Jason is building some good sandcastles and loving the 120 degree heat. What can I say he missed the camels.

7. Three weeks with no diet soda and I'm still alive. I hope to kick it for good this time people. I think I can, I think I can..

8. The real test will be when school starts back..

9. I need to do a good sugar detox in general (as do the kids) I just don't have it in me right now. That's when the whining and headaches will really start. Lead by the mama of the house for sure.

10. And probably against my better judgement I agreed to running with Sammy outside in the heat. I keep telling myself that Jason is surviving in 120 degrees, I can run in 90 degrees. But man it is hot outside. She'll eventually get too fast for me or I'll decide I really don't want to run cross country at 33 :)
