National Ice Cream Day
I just found out this is a real thing that some ice cream places honor! Sub Zero, one of our favorite ice cream places was offering a buy one get one free sale on National Ice Cream day. We couldn’t pass it up! 
Olivia
4th of July 2017
The Carnival came back again for the 4th of July. This year Jillian was tall enough for more rides. Poor Adrian had to go on the gravitron with her… it spins around and forces you against the sides. Adrian said he felt like he was having heart palpitations because of that ride…. not to mention the nausea! Claire and Olivia stuck to the little rides but just watching them go in circles made me nauseous. Randomly, my brother Jason and his girlfriend Chloe showed up at the same time. Jillian was thrilled because Chloe was willing to take her on the Zipper. Jillian was a champ during the ride, even though Chloe had to hang onto her or she would fall out of the seat. Then once Jillian got off the ride and saw me she broke down crying, she had all the feels! So much emotion from that ride. I thought she was brave just going on it! I would have never done that in a million years… haha even if I weren’t pregnant I wouldn’t go on that ride!
On the actual night of the 4th, Adrian set up the fire-pit in the front yard for smores. It was really nice to be able to offer smores to our neighbors! I love our neighborhood and I love that we can watch the fireworks from our front yard!
Slime
I finally gave in and made slime with the girls. We went for “fluffy slime” which includes shaving cream. I also learned that not all glues are created equal, so even though Hobby Lobby put the glitter glue under the slime sign, doesn’t mean it would work! We used up all of our backup glue to get Jillian’s and Claire’s to turn out. Olivia didn’t want glitter and hers formed instantly. It’s funny because Jillian was the one asking for slime for months, and Olivia has been the one to play with it the most.
She’s a Brownie Now
Olivia had her bridging ceremony today. She is officially a Girl Scout Brownie now
She also got a bunch of awards for being the 2nd top seller of cookies
Fairy Trail
We visited the fairy trail today. http://alisofairytrail.com/
The girls loved seeing all the little houses for fairies! Adrian and I enjoyed the ocean view on the trail and being super envious of the homes along the trail with their beautiful views!
It was a fairly easy walk for me being late in my pregnancy. We did stop at the hill and turned around there. I think there was more beyond but I just couldn’t do it. We’ll have to go back when I am more fit.
Mother’s Day
Today was not my favorite day. Claire decided to hide and not come out when called. I think she hid for a good 20 minutes while Adrian and I were panicking. She ended up being in her closet, laying down, under a blanket, under the hanging clothes. We looked in there so many times but never thought she would be laying flat on the ground under a blanket. Ugh such a heart attack! Then Jillian gave me a mother’s day card that read something like, I’m sorry I have been mad at you. WTF I didn’t even know she was mad at me… lovely. I’d been working a lot lately and I think that had something to do with it. After that we spent the rest of the day at my moms when really I would have just liked to crawl into bed and watch movies… maybe next year
