This weekend, I decided I had enough of these booster seats. I got them for free, but they were a yucky green, so I painted them blue, they are super hard to clean, so they always have food all over them, and the boys always drop food on the chairs, so they get really dirty, too.
I started looking on Craig's List and found these 2 high chairs for $40. I was lucky to find matching ones. I actually didn't even know they were the same until I picked up the 2nd one. It was a much needed upgrade. The boys love them and I don't even mind cleaning them.
This 4th of July was definitely not the best one yet. I don't even have any cool pictures because... we didn't do anything cool! We went to a "Street Party" in Valley Junction, got some gyros, walked around, and left. We probably could have gone to a parade, but we figured it was too hot and the boys are too little to even care. And then that night, most fireworks got cancelled because of the rain. I'm not even sure we would have gone, anyway, because the boys go to sleep between 7:45 and 8:00 and the fireworks were scheduled between 9:30 and 10:00. Logan and Taylor are too little to stay up this late and too big to have their schedule messed aournd with. Plus they are so loud... I didn't want the boys to get scared. So that was our 4th of July. I'm sure next year we can make it a little more fun with the boys being more flexible and more into the holiday. Maybe they'll even understand, somewhat, what the 4th of July is about... maybe.
That night I was feeling so lame, being inside, watching a movie, while listening to people having their own fireworks party, that I decided to have some ice cream, the "Cold Stone" way. My favorite is banana ice cream with strawberries and brownie pieces, or strawberry ice cream with banana slices and brownie pieces. I wasn't gonna go to the store on Sunday, so I got the next best thing - I got vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and mixed in banana slices and brownie pieces. I was soooo good! Who needs Cold Stone ice cream for $5 when you can make your own for less than $2?
