Yesterday we had the opportunity to go see the Baltimore Oriols play the Red Sox at Camden Yards. The last time I saw a live baseball game, it was the Boise Hawks in the late 1980s. You have to understand that I am not much of a sports fan. I am also not a fan of large, noisy crowds. I shy away from carnivals, rallies, parades. It can be quite stressful for me to go to concerts or shopping at Walmart. Going to a biggish game was WAY out of my comfort zone. But it was fun. At first, it was too hot and we sat way up high, which was good for the noise/smell aspect, but I also get dizzy from heights. But after getting some water, and around 9, it started cooling off and people started going home and then I downright enjoyed it. It was fun. I’m looking forward to seeing another game in the late 2020s. You can see some pictures at my facebook mobile site by clicking HERE.

I know, I’ve been slacking on the blogfront. We’ve been busy. We took a vacation up to Rhode Island last week which was fantastic! (I’ll upload pictures as soon as I find my camera cord) This week I’ve been very busy with Ophelia who is going through a bit of a rough patch. Yesterday she accidentally broke my nose while we were playing with Mira. Mira is doing really well, though. She is sitting up on her own now and is on the verge of crawling and pulling herself up to standing on purpose. Ben was painting all this week and I think he enjoyed doing some good old fashioned physical labor. We are still trying to get our car repaired but friends have graciously lent us their vehicle for the time being so we’ve still been able to get around. Yay!! Ben just stepped out to get some $5 pizza for dinner. Praise God for good friends and amazing husbands!

We have Ophelia’s daily prayers in little frames that hang above her bed. Her naptime prayer includes the Apostles Creed. Ben took the frame off the wall the other day to read it in the livingroom and hadn’t replaced it. Today Ophelia found it…
“There’s my spirit! Mom, I found my spirit!!”

I’m guessing whoever created this is the speller in the family that nobody talks about. Still, I chuckle.

Today we went to KFC for dinner. Something about Memorial Day and junk food just seemed right. Ben and I decided just to get a fried chicken meal. As we pulled up to the ordering window….
Ophelia: “Gettin’ chicken nuggets?”
Me: “Nope! Something better!”
Ophelia: “BLUE CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!”

Ophelia came up with that little gem all on her own. Apparently, it’s Mira’s new nickname. I drew the line when she called her “pigbutt”.

I lost 1 pound over the last week of careful eating!! Woohoo! Ben took the bike into work today so the girls and I decided to venture out to find a good thrift store. God blessed our search and we found a REALLY fantastic Goodwill (on Gov. Richie in Pasadena). We got a cute red comforter for Ophelia for $8. And I found this brand new (in the box!) Baby Ktan for $5.00 and in my size too boot!! Next door to the thrift store was a grocery outlet where we found lots of staples (like beans and rice) for really cheap ($1.19 for a large bag of rice!). When I got home I found out we had won a drawing I had entered earlier this month for 4 free tickets to see a screening of UP this Saturday morning! Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket?
