Yarmouth Clam Festival
This marks our third year of attending the Yarmouth Clam Festival (check out the archives for old pictures) so I guess it is kind of a tradition. We did not make it to the parade on Friday night because of rain, but we did go on Saturday afternoon to ride the rides. It was just the way a fair should be: hot, expensive, with greasy food, and questionable people operating the same old rides I remember when I was little. But it was a lot of fun for the kidos. The next day Isaac kept asking if we could go back...
The Things You've Been Missing
Since I have been MIA from my blogging this is the sort of exciting daily stuff you have been missing out on:
Yesterday:
Isaac did a rhyming puzzle at the library and for the rest of the day wanted me to think of rhyming words with him. I would tell him a word and he would try to think of a ryhme. The winner: I said "car" he (without even thinking about it) said "cigar" Not sure where he learned that one...
Also, at the library we checked out a video, which we rarely do because we always have trouble getting them to play on our DVD player. So, as I was putting the video in I went into a long warning about not having a fit if the movie didn't work. Amazingly, the movie played with no problems and I went to get some work done. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES later Isaac comes rushing up the stairs and says "mommy, mommy, it IS working, I just wanted to tell you".
Thanks dear...
After dinner I let Isaac know that I was getting dessert ready. (Icecream with peaches, raspberries and a pie crust topping). He walked into the kitchen and looked at the dish of stuff for the compost pile (egg shells, coffee grounds, potato peels) and said in his most serious (and disapointed voice) "that dessert doesn't look to good to me"

I'm back..... Our blueberries
On Saturday I took the kids for a walk in the woods behind our neighborhood and we picked just over a cup of wild bluerries. On Sunday Isaac helped me make muffins with them. Yummy!
Kaylee's (6 total, 4 of which came from my bag), Isaac's (about 1/4 cup) and mine (almost a full cup)
We ate six before I could even get a picture
