Bits and pieces

We missed out on our Tuesday ice cream night.

I think this bothered me and Stace more than the girls, so we decided to fix it Thursday night. I'd heard good things about a new local, family-run place across town (in deep Saugus) where the ice cream is handmade.

It cost twice our normal "dollar scoop night" treat, but it was delicious, well worth it for a special treat.

 Like Violet's new face art? The girls put on tattoos a couple of weeks ago, and Cora asked to put another one on Violet's arm.
Sure, I said. And here is the result. Not sure how my 6-year-old got "arm" and "face" confused...

We had Cora's friend Sophia with us Saturday, when we participated in the Walk for Life for the SCV Pregnancy Center.

The walk started from our church, headed across the street to Bridgeport Park, made a loop (or two if you did it right) and then came back to church.

 Then we headed to Valencia Glen, where Cora and Lucas played soccer and Violet and Liana "planted grass" in the dirt. Violet explained it all to me, and it made a lot of sense.

On Sunday, we had a normal morning and a relaxing day getting things done at home. Stace did some more work on his MG - not long before he'll be proud to drive it to work, wind rushing through his hair.

Cora went out back to bring in the cats, and I was amazed she was strong enough to carry Sebastian. They are such good boys. We are blessed with fantastic cats.
