Mad

Tate was really mad at me this morning because I wouldn't let him have the iPad or the tv. He yelled at me and said that he was going to heaven and I was going to hell. He hasn't been sleeping well at all and it shows. He went with me to get a haircut and get groceries and did great. 

Popsicle

The girls had their first Popsicles with sticks tonight and they thought they were great!

Movie

Brett and Tate went to see The Secret Life of Pets this afternoon. I think Tate had fun. The girls were up all night. I am not sure what is going on with them. We have started moving bedtime earlier in preparation for school. Summer was great and I hate to see it go. 

Great

Today was a great day!  It rained again so Brett got to spend the day inside with us. My great-aunt Betty and her daughter Rhonda came over to my mom's for a visit. This afternoon we met my mom and dad at the park and went and got supper and free floats (for free float day) at A&W. Today is my mom and dad's 39th anniversary. My mom said that they were all up late fighting a tank battery the night before their wedding. They couldn't get into the hall until morning to decorate and set up so they didn't get a whole lot of sleep. It was a hot August day and a lady even let my mom take a bath at her house in between the dinner and the dance. 

Fair

We went up to the fair for the day on Wednesday. Tate had fun and even wanted to ride the tilt-a-whirl again this year. The girls weren't overly thrilled and Audrey cried on all of the rides. 

Enrollment

I enrolled Tate in preschool today. I am feeling sad and anxious about sending him off to school. We walked around the school and Tate thinks it is awesome. He is especially excited to play on the playground. 

Turtles

Tate and grandpa put the turtle trap in the pond and went to check it today and found four turtles. So, four turtles ended up in Duke's pool. We let them go tonight after the kids went to bed. Ellie just wanted to swim in the pool and didn't understand why she couldn't be in it. We went to the zoo this morning and got lunch with our friends.
