busy day...

Today Emma swam in her final meet of the season - the championships, though I'm not really clear on what (if anything) that means. There were a ton of kids from a ton of towns. It was very chaotic. Emma just rolls with it though. She has great team spirit and cheered very loudly for her teammates. She loves swimming in the relays. The picture is her waiting for her turn to swim the 2nd leg of the 100 medley relay. The coaches are in Hawaiian shirts - makes them easy to find.


Right after the meet Emma worked her shift at the GS Cookie booth our troop set up outside of Friendly's. It was pretty chilly. The girls were tough cookies and didn't complain. They sold 8 cases (80 boxes, I think) in 3 hours or so. (Emma's shift was only 45 minutes) The next booth sale is at a Bingo night at the K of C - inside. I'm thinking they will sell a lot of cookies there.

favorite smoothie

Emma and Jack have been loving smoothies lately. Our newest fav is a recipe off the back off the Teddy Graham box. Blend well:
  • 24 cinnamon Teddy Grahams
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup ice
They like to float a few loose teddies on top too. It's actually pretty yummy...

snowman from when it felt like winter...

I should take a picture of how pathetic and melty he is now.






Um, that nose is possibly a little disturbing. It's a plastic carrot that came with the Christmas Tree Shops snowman kit. I swear.
