What's Happening Wednesday...

On Tuesday I sat down to do the Ten on Tuesday like so many of my "siblings" do and then remembered wait, I do Wednesday.  Boy am I glad I waited.  I have much more fun to speak of waiting an extra day.  I will do my best to save the best for last...(no peeking)

1. The girls completed their play "Pied Piper of Hamlin" at the local theatre and it was a great success.  Gma and Pinka Farmer drove 2 hours to watch the 1 hour production - a bit off in calculations of time but you know...what we do for love.

2. Speaking of the play the girls were fabulous - in one part they both were adorable in carrying a prop off the set and squealed perfectly not to mention they were very good at drowning.

3. Registered for dance - Katherine is all registered for dance class.  She has signed up for ballet again.  She is unsure if she wants to do tap again or try out jazz.  She will be sampling jazz the first week of class to decide.

4. Lillian is going to return to gymnastics this year - she has done it before and loved it and we are going back to it.

5. We went to the zoo the other day and had so much fun - sadly it is the first time we made it there all summer long - with any luck we will make it once again next week.

6. Floatie night- Tuesday night at our neighborhood pool.  Where else can you get a hot dog, a bag of chips a scoop of ice cream and a soda ( we generally all choose A&W for root beer floats) and they encourage you to bring your pool floaties.  We went last night - next week is the last one of the season!  You know what that means.

7. Camping season is coming to an end - so much for our 4 -5 weekends of it.  I think this weekend marks our 2nd time out...the joy of new jobs.

8. The girls have been working on riding their bikes all summer long and while we have been working most with Katherine to be on two wheels Lilly has been on 4 with her other 2 unbalanced.  We decided to try her without training wheels tonight since she was to the point her training wheels weren't touching much and the first time out she was off like a race horse...she even rode around the block with the neighbor!!  (This is the big news of the evening)

9.  I am struggling here so we'll leave it at nine for tonight...Enjoy the photos, a friend of mine took a few hundred (yes that is what I said - 487 to be exact) these are just a few.

What's Happening Wednesday...

Well since the family trend is 10 on Tuesday I figured everyone will be pretty tired of reading and may not have time to get to all of our sites in one day so I thought I would make my day Wednesday so I will have my 10 be on Wednesday.  Or well, whatever number I come up with as some others of you have found - depends on how challenged I am feeling mentally at that moment.

1. The girls have been practicing right along for the Pied Piper of Hamlin and the show is in a week - it is getting pretty exciting now, they had a 3 hour rehearsal tonight.

2.  Katherine and Lillian both wear the same size clothes - well I do buy bigger shirts for Katherine only because she is taller still.  But in pants they are the same.  After all they weigh the same and they are within 2" of the same height!

3.  We have already been school shopping and the girls have quite a sense of style all their own - each one separate and unique.

4.  We made mashed potato donuts earlier this week - for those of you who have no idea what these are I am sad to tell you that you are really missing out on something pretty special.  We even invited the neighbor girl over and taught her how to make them too.

5.  Pom Pom.  Both the girls are in pom class and loving it.  They are learning a dance routine that they will perform for us at the last class.  Lilly's is to some Barbie song - go figure with it being younger girls, she is eating it up even more so than Katherine.

6.  It is rhubarb season - you know what that means, I will be making pie for Mark (supposedly he is going to go visit with Joey this weekend and take the pie to my Dad's to share - we'll see)

7.  Did I mention fresh zucchinni from the Stuck's - well, since I can't get it from Gpa Mr. Stuck is the next best option.  I have enough to make at least 6 loaves.  I think tomorrow might be the day for that.  I will freeze them and they should last at least a few days.

8.  SWEET CORN - need I say more, went home this weekend and ate it at every meal, at least 2 pieces and brought home at least 3 dozen or so ears - my Dad is good to me. :)

9.  The girls went out to the fields all weekend with my Dad when we were home, there was lots of watering to do since it hasn't rained in a while so travelers to move and pivots to check and at every meal the girls were quick to speak up - now that they know how Pinka's schedule is - "Can I go" and they both went at once or took turns helping him.

10.  4 wheelers - the girls begged for a week before we went to Pinka's to go on the 4 wheeler's, despite his busy schedule he took the time out to take the girls on a ride to satisfy their urge - what a good Pinka.
