Ordinary days

 It's busy season around our house...
Me in my final couple of weeks of school...
Wedding season around the corner for Brian's brother Chris and Caitlin...
Baseball season...
Birthdays...
etc.

Yesterday we had Caitlin's bridal shower for her upcoming wedding.
It was a lot of fun and always a good time when all the ladies in the Teson/Kemper families get together.


Suzanne and I
They still aren't in KC yet, but are looking for the right house.  Houses in their neighborhood in Texas are selling in just days, so they don't want to end up homeless if they don't have anywhere to go in KC.
Good luck househunting!

 All the Teson gals



 Tiff and Mom were up north for the shower too.
We all had such a great time.


Then, on Saturday morning, Brian and Colin headed off to go see a movie, The Croods.
Colin just loves movies now, and we knew he would have no problem sitting through a movie in the theatre.  I went to the grocery store and stocked up on some treats for them to bring in, and Brian sprung for some popcorn and a blue Icee drink.
They had a great time.
I got this picture texted to me while they were waiting for their popcorn...

 My silly boys


Meanwhile, the girls were having fun at the house, doing some cool science type projects that Tiff learned about at one of her retreats for work.  Colin probably would've enjoyed them a lot too, but Maggie was ooo-ing and ahhhh-ing about them.

 They first put some whole milk on a plate with some drops of food coloring on it.
Then took a Q-tip and dipped it in some liquid dish soap...



 Ta da!  The soap repelled the food coloring and it looked really cool.
Big mess followed...I'm sure you can use your imagination there...

Then Tiff poured some baking soda on a plate, and mixed some vinegar with food coloring.

 Maggie stirred up the vinegar for us, sticking her tongue out cause it stunk!



The vinegar bubbled up on the baking soda and was a lot of fun to spoon on top.
That kept her busy for 45 minutes.
Good use of a rainy day!

We are heading to the Royals game tomorrow!  
It will be a little chilly at first, but we'll warm up nicely if they pull off a win!
