A fun and slightly zany look at the life we call "normal"

A lunch out at the Horseshoe.
We hadn't gone out to eat in a long time, and I decided it was time to see if the Horseshoe was as good at it used to be here in Benson. Unfortunately, it's not even close (They put BBQ pork in my chimichanga because they ran out of Green Chili Pork). But we had a fun time waiting for the food. The kids were bored so I jokingly told them to stick a spoon on their nose. Now, I have NEVER been able to do this and thought it would keep them busy for a while. Little did I know that all four of my kids and husband could do it immediately. My 4 year old Taylor doing it caught me off guard I laughed so hard watching them all do it. So much for good manners!

Farmer's Market
We started a booth the Farmer's Market June 27th. We did it two times until I didn't have anything to sell, but I will continue when I have more eggs and produce. The opening Farmer's Market had a St. David fire Department BBQ and Cotton Candy . I only got a couple of pictures, since I was too busy selling corn like it was Pillows at Macy's the day after thanksgiving. Crazy!

The Cove
We went to The Cove almost a month ago, but I wanted to post pictures! The Cove is an indoor water park that the city of Sierra Vista built. I just read in the newspaper that Thatcher is going to make one like it, and is talking to Sierra Vista about how to go about it.
Katrina after the day of play. I was proud she went down the water slides! (Dark, small, and fast)
The Wave pool with Mason after it's closed. The bridge in the middle came up so they have a lap pool. During the day it has waves start every ten minutes, and kids hold on to intertubes for dear life.

The Joys of Independent Children
Mason LOVES Nintendo. I mean, he could eat sleep and breath the thing. We have an original NES with Super Mario Brothers and no other games, and the kid can find all the warps and make it to level 8 (He hasn't beat it quite yet). Of course Dad is helping him find all the little tricks.
Anyhow, I needed his help to get under the girl's sink, so I mentioned that Mario and Luigi are PLUMBERS! Would he like to be a plumber with me? Of course he jumped right in after that (when I asked for his help earlier it was "Eh, Maybe later").
Our sinks don't have those little stoppers in them that keep stuff from going down the drain, and Taylor enjoys seeing what fits down the sink! Every so often I have to go under the sink and unscrew the plastic fittings, drain it out and clean out the crud. I figured it was time to get Mason in on the deal, so I showed him how to do the left sink. Being a boy, he thought disgusting crud coming out of the pipe was AWESOME! I let him do the right sink (after loosening it for him) and we drained out marbles, toothbrushes, and whatever else the kids found fit. Great job! I have working sinks again and Mason learned a new skill. I was really proud of myself.
Until today when I used MY sink and the water just ran out the bottom onto the floor. WHAT? Yes, Mason dropped his bouncy ball in the sink, so instead of telling me, he unscrewed the bottom and tried to get it out! He couldn't get it out, but didn't bother screwing it back together. Now, how many 6 year olds try their own plumbing? You have to give him props for trying. Unfortunately, it was really stuck, and took a vaccuum from the top. And then I made him promise never to do plumbing without me or dad there again, and I screwed it on a little tighter this time :)
