Bear started basketball camp Tuesday. I was able to get out & do some errands & buy a couple of b-day presents for upcoming birthday parties. I think he enjoyed it & learned lots.
We had lots of hot dog buns leftover from our weekend, so I used those along w/ our leftover meatballs from the night before to make meatball sandwiches. Boy, were those a hit! Bear wolfed it down.
Wednesday was a big day for C. He had 4 baby teeth removed to make room for 2 that were coming in. The orthodonitist suggested the other 2 come out b/4 we have to get braces in 6 months. That should be an interesting time!
Thursday is a great day for garage sales here in Wichita, so while Bear was at basketball, C & I hit about 15 or so sales. We ended up w/ a movie, a puzzle for my nieces, & a couple of glasses of lemonade. Later in the day, I baked a red velvet cake for cake balls and found a recipe for Chocolate Scotcheroos. My mom & I found these at a coffee shop in Kearney, NE & LOVED them. After making a batch, I sent some samples home with here. She said they were perfect. Just like the ones in Kearney. woot woot!Friday, last day of basketball. Grandma took C to lunch for his birthday. We did some chores & then headed to the pool. Great week.
