Fun With Friends - May 29, 2015

Friday - May 29th
Brinley got to go swimming at the Nat with all of the 3rd graders today.  She had so much fun.  Her friend Onnika came home from school with her.  They had a lot of fun.  They blew big bubbles in the backyard, they made and decorated sugar cookies, and we played Mad Gab.  It was a really good time.  Sydney, Alissa, Parker, Brinley, Onnika, and I all sat around playing Mad Gab.  We didn't play the normal way, we played the way I made up when I was a teenager.  It is way more fun that way.  We had a lot of fun.
Roger left us this morning to go on a ride-along with the Sheriff.  They patrol the west desert in Box Elder County.  It is a large area and they don't get very many calls, but somebody has to be out there.  They have a cabin out there that they stay in.  The Sheriff called to let Roger know he would be here around 11:00am.  He explained that they don't get a lot of calls, but they will keep busy with driving around and he would show Roger a lot of cool places to see and explore out in the west desert.  It's weird having Roger gone, but he called tonight and said he is having fun.  He doesn't have cell phone reception, but there is a land line at the cabin, so we can talk each night.  He will be coming home on Sunday night.  He said that they didn't get any calls, but they did a lot of driving and there are a lot of cool places to see.  He said he is taking lots of pictures.  I'm glad about that.
Sydney and Malaiyah are over here for a sleepover tonight.  The kids are having a lot of fun.  they are watching scary shows.  Parker watched a show upstairs with me until he fell asleep.  He wanted nothing to do with the scary shows.  I was surprised that Brinley wanted to watch any.  She watched one or two, then decided she was too scared, so she came up and joined Parker and I.  Parker and Brinley both fell asleep in my bed.
Parker had some birthday money burning a hole in his pocket and Brinley had some tooth fairy money, so we went to Kings tonight.  Parker bought a fun table tennis set and Brinley bought some candy.  Parker told Brinley that she could use some of his money to buy some candy, but he got a more expensive gift than he planned on and wasn't sure he could give her very much.  We counted their money and went to pay.  We told the cashier to ring up the table tennis first, then the candy, because we had $25.75 exactly and we can't go over.  So, he rang everything up.  When he added the taxes, it all came to $27.00 something.  Before we had a chance to tell him what candy to put back, he said, "Let me give you my store discount, then you'd be able to afford it."  So, he used his store credit and it came to $25.03.  Brinley and Parker were so happy!  They think he is the best cashier ever!
We spent a little time tonight working on the girls' YouTube video - "Halloween Prank gone Bad"  Besides that, nothing else really exciting happened today.
