This and That

There have been no great events this past week, just sweet life!  The little bits & bites that I captured here and there, pretty much sum it all up.

Brett had to fix the roof over hanging our carport...there is always something to do.

Brett wearing his 'protective glasses'

I had to work during the day at the Recycling Depot so between Brett and I, we were ready for a treat. After dinner, we decided to surprise the girls and take them to Beacon Hill for ice cream. I made them put on their PJ's (which was part of the fun), it was 6:30pm by now, then we blindfolded them and off we went.

"Mommy, I can't see!!"  Yeah, that is the whole point!!

 

The girls tried to guess where we were going the whole drive there.  They knew we were going for ice cream but they didn't know where!!  Sela speculated 'Grandma's' and the 'grocery store'...both wrong!!

Danielle pointed out they look like hostages in these pictures, I wonder what passerby's thought?

Once we pulled into the parking lot at Beacon Hill, the blindfolds came off and the fun began.

Chocolate Dipped Vanilla...heaven!

Sugar High!!!!

Daddy watches on as his little girls devour their cones!!

They even shared!

Amazingly, they fell asleep quite soon after we returned home.

As it was 'ride your bike to school week',  I decided to let Sela ride her bike to school, she has been desperate to ride for weeks.  I left Bella with Brett and off we went.  Sela did so well, only getting off once to push her bike up the really steep hill on the chip trail.

Ridiculously proud of her new bike lock. She memorized the combo right away.

These photos were just really sweet moments I caught during our week.  This is when I wish I had the talents of Erin, as I could have captured them beautifully. Anyway, the ideas where there!

I realize Sela's outfit steals the show here, but it's actually the moment between sisters I was trying to get.  Bella is holding up her hair while Sela is buttoning up her dress.  I imagine them, at either of their weddings, helping get the other ready!

 

Almost done!!

Brett always retreats to the bedroom after kitchen cleanup, pretty much every night.  He always takes some yogurt and fruit, a particularly large bowl on this occasion, I might add.  If Sela is lucky, she sneaks in too.  I know she likes the yogurt but she loves the one on one time with Daddy.
