Days 12 & 13 (August 1-2)

Sunday, August 1st
I had planned for us to go to 2nd service at church because last week waking Snoh up to be on time for 1st service was no fun.  However, he woke up with plenty of time and instantly asked "is it Sunday so I can go see my friends at church?"  I was so happy he was excited to go this week.  We get ready, head out the door, get to the car to notice that we don't have a carseat.  Marcel has it with him at church.  I had to majorly disappoint him and say we'd have to go to church next Sunday to see our friends.  We enjoyed Free Willy (I had forgotten how good of a movie that is) and lunch waiting for Marcel to get home.  Marcel then took us to Steve's house while he floated the Boise River with work.  Snoh was very excited to jump on the trampoline with the sprinkler, but it didn't last long.  He noticed Cindy had a separate hose near her and so off the trampoline he went to start watering the grass.  Soon, he was also watering the plants, the fence, and MaryBeth!  He thoroughly enjoyed putting his thumb over the end of the hose to make it spray everywhere because that made me have no choice to get wet.  Next we tried a slip & slide, which he didn't like.  He couldn't grasp the concept of running and jumping onto his belly.  It was more like: run as fast as he could, get to the edge of the slip & slide, stop, and then fall onto his belly.  Needless to say, he quit that activity and was right back to gardening, even getting to feed the plants.  He also made cookies, even getting to frost and sprinkle them.  He beat MaryBeth at Memory, Trouble & Candy Land.  After dinner, which of course required ketchup, he played Super Mario Galaxy until he let MaryBeth have a turn.
at least this plant was big and strong enough to withstand his watering.
It is the poor little ones I think he might have done in!
Monday, August 2nd
We had a pretty calm morning of Snoh being perfectly content just playing with his toys in his room.  After lunch, we all headed out to Rite-Aid for some coupon shopping.  Lilli slept and Snoh was a great helper until he found his mouthwash except that now the logo has a magnifying glass which made him "need" it.  Telling him no, resulted in him sitting down in the aisle saying, "MaryBeth, you're making that choice" and being sad at me.  When I told him that Lilli and I were going to pay so we could go home, he instantly got up and helped push the cart towards the registers.  We went to McDonald's and each got a Strawberry Banana smoothie with a free coupon I had.  He loved his "special drink".  We also used my free redbox code for it being the first Monday of the month and rented G-Force.  The first redbox only had 3 movies under the genre "Kids" and so he picked G-Force, but when the machine didn't read my card and we had to go to a new redbox (now I appreciate them being directly across the street from each other) there was a HUGE selection of kid movies and I was hoping to have him pick Alvin & the Chipmunks because he sings the songs all day long and I've never seen it but he was already sold on G-Force.  He watched it during quiet time.  At dinner, we made him try a bite of his fettucini alfredo before putting ketchup on it since he said he'd never had it before.  He said it tasted good but still wanted ketchup, so ketchup he got!  A little bit of time at Wende Lady's house and then it was time for bed!
He calls it Banana Strawberry Slurpee.  Either way he enjoyed it and he's looking forward to taking brother with us next time to use my last 3 free coupons.  We both decided we're going to try the other kind
