Things have been pretty busy as we have been trying to fit some fun things into summer before Trey headed back to school yesterday. Last Monday we went to the Mariner's second LDS night. I met up with a buddy from the mission and had a great time talking about the good old days from 13 years ago! My phone's camera took some weak shots...
On Friday Marisa and I went on a date night to get her some clothes for her class reunion next week. We got teriyaki before driving to the mall and had to wait 15 minutes for them to cook it so we walked next door to the Goodwill store. Goodwill was awesome, (I found a juicer, see below) except for the Barbi doll bin. That was kind of freaky...
On Monday we went with our friends the Chapmans to Bumbershoot. It is a Seattle music festival with multiple concerts all going on at the same time. We went to see Paramour so that I could hear my favorite song of the year, "Misery Business." I was a fan before all you guys became bandwagoners. We also hear offspring.
Saturday I went blackberry picking with the boys and we made blackberry popsicles and sorbet easily with my new juicer. You just drop in your fruit, spin the handle, the juice comes out and the pulp/seeds go out another way. So quick and easy to strain out those stupid seeds. Here are some pix of the boys doing their much anticipated yearly wild blackberry picking.
Bex loved the concert and his shirt that said, "Future Rock Star." He really thinks that is what he is going to be when he grows up. Here he is on Ronnie's shoulders.
I tease the boys when they are bad that I will spank them with the "spiky belt" and now it has become a family joke that anyone will get it if bad, including mom! There was a large paper at Bumbershoot for people to draw and be artistic on. Bex drew the following pictures and when asked afterwards what they were he informed us that they were the spiky belt. The hypothetical belt wasn't quite so scary in my mind.
Bumbershoot was a little too hippy for me at times. Trey kept asking what that sweet smell was. I didn't want to explain the whole MJ thing so I brushed it off. I started to get worried when he said he had the munchies...ok, he just said that he was hungry, but it made me wonder...

Oh what fun! I got a good chuckle from the "munchies" comment. I hope it was just snack time.
You're funny! Too hippy? you live in Seattle, what do you expect? We had fun with you guys, thanks for joining us, the "spiky belt" made it all worth it!
Next time it's a party at the Calderwoods with the "Squeeze-O"!
the barbie bin IS so creepy.....
Yes, that barbie bin is a little unusual, but it looks like you guys had a really fun summer.
Your right that Barbie Doll pin was creepy. Looks like you are really enjoying living in Washington!
That barbie bin is truly creepy! I just read Elie Wiesel's Night, and it totally reminds me of the holocaust!
Mark's favorite band is Paramour. He is obsessed with all there songs. I'm getting really sick of having to listen to them all the time :) I wish we could have taken him.
