We ended up getting to go fishing last Sunday evening after Cody got home. It was late so we had to go to the lake for any hope of catching something. I didn't enjoy it as much, I couldn't fish. It had a road behind us that Baylee kept wanting to play in and sloped to the water which gets deeper faster. Not kid friendly like the pond. So I offered for Cody to go to that place by himself. He took me up on it Thursday. He claims it wasn't as fun without us, but he caught a lot of fish. He was "off" on Thursday to make up for no off day last week, but got called in that afternoon to go help a farmer find a missing show cow. He worked for a few hours then went fishing.
Baylee has discovered some "cool" new tricks this week. She learned to put stuff around her neck/shoulders(thrilled, let me tell you), push the babydoll stroller....over the kitty, she can say hot and she's definitely getting better at brushing her teeth. I have never seen a child pitch such a little fit to brush her teeth every night and do it on her own. She gets so mad when we put it up so she can go to bed. She has also perfected the squeal this week. Yippee! haha
The kitty has been very patient to say the least this week as Baylee practiced her cool trick. The kitty only tried to get her 2 times....can you blame her for those 2 times? Yes that's Baylee sitting on the kitty. After seeing our album this week, it's no wonder why she loves to play with the kitty. We do encourage it a little.(see video)
I actually really like to watch her push the stroller, mainly to see what she's going to put in the seat. No telling what it will be. Sometimes her little people and accessories, her drink, her number 5 off the fridge got to ride a lot, her bunny, books, a light, really anything she could find. Sometimes just one thing, sometimes more than it could hold. It's fun to see what she comes up with.
Apparently learning to wear a hat is going somewhat well. She won't wear a hat for long but she loves to wear a bowl on her head. She was never prompted to do this, but she loves it now that she does. She gave me a bowl one night and we each had bowl armor. It was amusing.
The neck/shoulders thing, she loves to walk around with the coolers on. She ended up sitting in one of them when she fell. She just thinks these are so much fun! Of course they make me a little nervous since she doesn't know that wearing them around her neck can be dangerous. She just doesn't get to play with them if I'm not close by.It was incredibly too hot this week(90's) for us to go outside much. We did go for 2 walks in the late afternoon but that's about it. We stayed in the treasured air conditioning. I do however open our front door and leave it open (our hallway has a door at the end before the stairs) I closed the hall door and let Baylee wander in and out. She likes it almost as much as being outside. We have to be inventive sometimes.
Today is the last day of Bagelfest. For those of you that don't know, Mattoon's pride and joy is Bagelfest every July. There is a Lenders Bagel plant here in town. Cody was off today and so he got to go with us. Believe it or not the queen of cheap(me), skipped the free bagel breakfast and just went to the Bagelfest parade. Have no fear, Lenders had a couple of trucks, and passed out prepackaged bagels instead of candy. It was interesting to see the parade. The theme was rock around the bagel or something like that, so they had rock n roll and bagel decorations. Even the firetrucks and ambulance(which scared the little one) had bagels on strings tied to thier trucks. It was a first for us to see a band in a parade without uniforms as well as the cheerleaders not wearing uniforms. We got some candy, fliers and bagels. A lot of people in the parade were laughing at Baylee. She was standing there with her #1 held up watching and cracking up.
It thankfully wasn't too hot. It was overcast and there was a breeze and was only about 85. We did get rained on....but it was welcomed. Baylee really enjoyed seeing everything and was great besides wanting to run into the street.
We went to a chinese buffet for lunch afterwards and it wasn't horrible. Better than we expected for sure. Thanks to Cody for putting up with my chinese food cravings.(he dislikes it) We came home to get the Baylee rejuvinated so that we can go out to the carnival and check that out this afternoon. We have to see what the whole Bagelfest is about. I mean it's important enough they celebrate from Wednesday until Saturday. Plus I'm told I have to have a funnel cake. It will be my first.
Note: I played with some bleach and dye this week trying to get the black out...funny thing it only partially worked. It's definitely strange. My addiction to dye gets the best of me sometimes. The best part, hair grows! haha.

Oh, that maleware is what got our computer, but it was time for a new one. Good for you to figure it out on your own! Here in Brigham City, we have peach days, and they close off MAIN STREET and rent stuff that you would see at a fair. They also have crazy booths everywhere and there are so many people that last year we gave up on trying to manuver the stroller around them. That sounds like my kind of celebration to get bagels though. How was your funnel cake?
