Obnoxious birthday singers…

She was up for it, though :) We went to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour — a place where everyone I knew growing up wanted to go to celebrate their birthday. They come out with a big drum and obnoxious lights and sirens. It’s a fun way to embarrass your kid for a few minutes. At first I didn’t think she wanted to go through with it after seeing them do it for a few other birthdays, and I would have gladly cancelled if I thought she would really hate it and be embarrassed. When they told us it was our turn, she said, “Okay, I’ll stand up.” And it was all smiles from there :)

I can’t believe she’s EIGHT!

I complained a little about soccer last Saturday — this Saturday it was still annoying to have to spend the day at the field, but at least Ainsley had a great game :) I am so proud of this girl! She was assertive, she was fast, she was paying attentnion! Everything her sister has NO interest in doing! HAHA :)

We had errands to run this evening, so I grabbed my camera. It was raining — I could take pictures of the rain on the windshield over and over… they are always interesting to me :)

The (mostly) finished product from two days ago that I posted about here.

So I’m making one of these. So far, I have spent $21 dollars, and I think it’s coming along well. Trying to make it all line up so that I don’t stare at it once we hang it after the wedding and have it make me go crazy because it’s off-kilter…
