Lemonade for a dog!

Ellie decide last night that she is going to raise $100 to buy a dog. I have no idea why she thinks $100 is enough for a lahsa-poo or a chihuahua, but I think I agreed to her plan without realizing that she may actually be able to get the money! Today, she & her friends and Kevin had a lemonade stand (with powdered doughnuts & candy from the 4th of July parade as well) & raked in $27.45! Everyone agreed to let Ellie keep all the money to put toward her dog fund! She made the agreement a prerequisite for anyone who wanted to participate! So, combined with the $6.13 she has in her Hello Kitty bank, she is 1/3 of the way to her goal! Tomorrow, she plans to improve her sales totals by adding brownies to the sale!

Rangers game

Chris's boss was kind enough to let us use tickets to his box for the Rangers game. We invited a couple of families to join us.



Don't they look handsome?!?


Matthew striking his man pose! He's serious about baseball!


Kevin and his girlfriend violet! He says they are going to get married because Violet told him so! When she got to the game, she came and sat next to him. He looked at her, gave her a shy little smile, looked back to the game and didn't say anything. but I could see a little sparkle in his eye. They are sweet friends!





By about 9:30, all the boys were playing games on their parents' phones. It was a little sad, but it was late, so that made it ok. At least they weren't crying having a terrible time since it was so far past their bedtimes.
