July, 2013 In Pictures

Thanks to Wanda Bandy, I have discovered an iPhone app called Collect, which allows you to add 1 picture per day to a calendar, and then turn it into a photo collage at the end of the month.  I started doing it in July, and thought I would add it to the blog each month.  Many of the pictures will also appear on the Facebook blog posts, but I just thought the calendar view was sort of fun for memories, too!

Redbox users: Do yourselves a favor. Don't let your kids talk you into "Oogieloves" for movie night, even if you have a one-day code for a freebie and it's the only available "family" movie they haven't seen.

Today, a coach walked into the office I am currently sharing with 2 temporary interns. Not recognizing anyone, he asked, trepidatiously, "Can someone maybe tell me when our quiet period starts in August?". I think he was shocked when I said yes. Maybe I will strive to maintain the cluelessness regarding my background so that I may continue to field only the easy questions.

Bryce, in his head: "Maybe someday I'll have stuff that's not pink."

The realization that we no longer have to run the dishwasher every two days just so we have clean sippy cups to send to school for Bryce is liberating, yet poignant.

Pop-Tart Hypothetical: This morning, you need 2 Pop-Tarts (for yourself and your son). In the box, you find an open pack with one remaining pastry. Do you serve that one and open another pack for the second, or do you go straight to an unopened pack and save the lone Pop-Tart for another day?

Thanks to Target's clearance rack, B will no longer have to borrow Dale's clubs to work on his swing. Not sure which of them will be more thrilled.

(While explaining why I still needed to use the spray bottle before braiding her hair...). Me: "Using water will help with your fly-aways." Macie, scowling in disbelief: "How is WATER going to keep the FLIES away?!?"
