On the 29 or sometime around there my dad got a new company car. It isn't his new car, but it is one for him to drive until he gets the other one. He spent the afternoon cleaning it out, of course. Then that evening we went for a drive in it. I love it! It is a Ford Flex and really cool on the inside. We drove out to the Lindy Freeze for ice cream and out in the country. Maria and I even got to take turns test driving it!
Monday July 30 I spent the afternoon laying at my grandparents' pool. Then I got together with Morgan! It was so much fun!! We hung out and talked and told stories and then she brought out a Christmas present I had gotten her. It was a cake making/decorating kit and I got it for her because it had Duff Goldman on it. An awesome guy from a show we dearly love called Ace of Cakes. We had so much fun trying to figure it all out and see how pathetic the kit actually ended up being. The cakes were tiny and the fondant smelled funny and was hardly enough to decorate with. But it was an awesome time anyway. We even hand delivered one of our beautiful cakes as a surprise for one lucky kid, Jacob. Yay for Jacob being so lucky!
We ended our night by watching PS I Love You. Classic movie that has been one of our favorites since we saw it together when it came out in theaters. I think in 2007. The movie made us fall in love with Ireland as well as Gerard Butler of course.
Tuesday July 31 I drove to Greencastle and cleaned house for Sue, yay for that awesome summer job set up. Then that evening I went to Hilary's and we painted. Well. We tried. We had this fabulous idea to try to paint like they do from a scene in the Princess Diaries (another all time favorite movie). They use a big canvas and throw darts at balloons that are attached to the canvas and full of paint. Then the paint drips down and creates a cool looking picture, but mostly the fun part is the process of how it comes to be. However, we ran into a few issues. Like first we didn't have any darts. Then we filled the balloons up with water and paint and tried to throw them on the canvas, but they wouldn't bust. Pretty sure we had the wrong type of balloons. We ended up lying the canvas down, holding the balloon on it, and stabbing it with scissors. Then we sprinkled it with salt and let it dry.
Wednesday August 1 spent a little time at the pool before going to babysit Jensen! He swam/floated/stood in his little pool and also continued to amaze me with his ability to not only put together a puzzle with the united states of america map, but could identify each state and its name. So smart!
Wednesday evening I hung out with Hilary again. We bought shoes and tie dyed them with spray dye. They are awesome!! We are both really excited about them and proud of them. We also ended up spraying our canvas with some tie dye because the paint and water mixture left it really pale. It looked much better after adding the tie dye.
Thursday August 2 I spent the afternoon lying at the pool with Steph. This was only maybe the second time we had done it all summer, and last summer it was a daily occurrence basically. That evening we drove around in her car listening to music and talking and looking at houses for sale and watching the beautiful sun as it set. I was so happy to get to hang out with Steph once more before she left for Depauw.
Friday August 3 consisted of shopping with my mom, Maria, and my Grandma at Bed, Bath, & Beyond and buying a few things for my dorm room like my sheets, comforter, a tray to put beside my bed, and plastic plates & cups & bowls. It got me very excited! We also stopped at Michael's craft store.
