july 25: socialized

Maddie whisked herself off to spend the day with Grammy.
Where she had a bubble bath and got her hair done and got to don a new dress and got her fingernails painted.
And quite freaked out her brother when we picked her up later with her "Being all dolled up."
I'll say it again... it's a dang good thing his Mama doesna wear make-up, 'cause that boy would Have A Fit. :)

Trevy spent his day playing his game that he bought yesterday with birthday money... Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
(Let me just say there that this isn't an educational game, by any means... but that boy's mind is fast! If you've ever watched your children play an action video game for even a few minutes- they're amazing! They figure out secret passageways and tools and collecting hidden things like nobody's business. It's amazing! Smart, I tell you.)

We lazed and thought about napping--well, one of us did (even though we really didn't rise 'til somewhere around noon 'cause we were out so late last night) and eventually made brownies... in preparation for a summer Icecream Social.
If you can believe that.
(Mostly with Utah Urban Homesteaders.)

Lots of fun to be had there, of course.
With truck rock-climbing
and running games
and swings

tunnels

walks along the river
sticks

and lots and lots of icecream, of course.

At darktime Maddie and I made our way home and Trev scooted off with friends to spend the night. A first Friend -not Grammy- sleepover.
But it didn't take. Got the one or two a.m. phone call. Not homesick, though, just too wound up. Methinks it had something to do with all that icecream....

Yet another Good Enough summer's day.
We'll take it.
