Five for Friday

I know, I know. I just can't seem to get my Five for Fridays on the right day. I promise I'll try to work on that. :)

1. Kloe and I were batchin' it (I have no idea how to spell that word, much less if it's legal to use it in reference to girls) last week, as The Mister was out of town on business, and Jacob went to spend a few days with my mom. We took advantage of the time alone and enjoyed dinner out at this fun place.
   
   
   
   
   
   I know that last picture looks like the guy sitting across from us was on fire, but really it was the onion "volcano" on the grill that was burning.
   
   It was the first time either Kloe or I had eaten there, and we had a lot of fun. Even though Kloe was afraid she was going to catch on fire. :) And...she was the only girl at our table who caught the piece of food the chef was trying to flip into everyone's mouths!


2. On Friday, the kids and I took a little road trip to a fun water park in a town a couple of hours away. And I forgot my camera. Great. Practically the only fun thing we've done together this summer and I have no pictures! We did have an awesome time, though. The kids loved the lazy river and the whirl pool; I loved that it is indoors AND heated! We're hoping to go again before the end of summer, so hopefully I can post pictures next time!


3. Flossing update: I went to the dentist last week, and the hygienist said I take "really good care" of my teeth. Yay! This is the only New Year's resolution goal I am still doing, so yay! On the down side, the dentist said I need to get braces again. Really? Really? Weren't 3 years of misery, embarrassment, and torture in my tween years enough? Yuck. I told Kloe what the dentist said, and she just slowly shook her head back and forth. "No?" I asked. "You're too old," she said. Thanks, sweetie, that makes it better.


4. Look what my mom bought me!
   
   
   
   I've been wanting a sewing machine FOR.EV.ER. I've asked for one for every birthday and Christmas for I don't know how many years. I'm so excited! Not that I'll be whipping out all my home decor or my children's wardrobes any time soon, but I'm excited nonetheless. There are so many times I've thought, "Ugh! If I only had a sewing machine!" ....and now I do! Yay!


5. I am lovin this lately. Have you tried it?
