Summer has taken hold in KS. KS summers are very hot and humid. When you go outside you are immediately sticky and sweaty. Makes you feel pretty.
Last night we went to Atchison, KS for the Amelia Earhart Festival. She was born in Atchison and they hold tight to that claim to fame. They even have a bridge that has a spotlight shining to the heavens above to "light her way home". They also have an AWESOME fireworks show set to music. It's always better than Fort Leavenworth's 4th of July show. This time Aidan sat on my mom's lap for only the first song, then she moved down to her own chair. I am sure my mom was grateful, it was hot as hell. It was a wonderful show, a good time, but we didn't get home until midnight.
Lilly's home and had a wonderful time. She made lots of friends, including the snotty cabinmates. Her one cabinmate even asked for our phone number. Her nose and cheeks were a little sunburnt but other than that she was in one piece. She only mailed one letter, to her Grammie. All it said was "Dear Grammie and Pop, I like potatos! Love, Lilly". It's some weird thing she and her BFF say all the time. I was also glad to hear they fixed her mosquito netting the first day.
And now, since I am tired and can't think anymore, I will leave you two recent Aidan anecdotes.
We are in Kohls and Aidan starts saying very loudly:
Mommy you wear a size 1 EXTRA. Look this one is your size, it's a 1 EXTRA!
I had to politely explain why she shouldn't do that and how it embarrassed me.
Then last night my mom was pouring water from one bottle to another and spills on herself.
Mom: Damn, now I look like I wet my pants.
Aidan: Nonnie, did you forget to put on a PAD?
Luckily no one outside of a 3ft radius could hear her because of the fireworks.

i'm glad you all had a good time. :) sounds very nice.
it has been hot as hell here too. like too hot to even move or breath. ugh!! but i'm trying not to complain, notice I said "trying". lol
out of the mouths of babes.
once Trevor told me... Mommy... You look pretty today. Pretty and FAT! (he thought it was a compliment)
jeez!!
love the pad question! *snicker snicker* ;)
I'm sooo happy that Lilly is home safe n sound and that they didn't get attacked my misquitos!! :) AND that she made friends!
have a good day!!
xoxoxo
To this day I still have friends from my camp days... and that was over 11 years ago... those are the best friendships that never seem to die!
Jenn, I thought I would sweat to death today and all I did was walk from the car to the store and back. Wait that's not true, without the van I have to buckle all three little ones, normally Lilly does Sophia and Aidan does herself, and I have to climb into the car to get Delilah into her seat. So it ends up being a 10-15min process all the while I am sweating.
Aren't children wonderful? When mine say anything about me being fat I tell them "You did it to me." Of course I say it with a laugh, wouldn't want to give them a complex :P
Living, I told Lilly if she sticks with Girl Scouts someday she can be a counselor, so here's hoping.
"Forgot to wear a pad?"
Totally something Zeze would shout from the rooftops. LMAO
