Little Free Libraries

Little Free Libraries are so cute.

I looked up the Pacific Grove locations and took Sally and her friend out to the ones I could find.

Above is #1.

We got distracted when we passed this old train stop:

And this Easter-egg decorated tree:

The girls ended up with some super random books.

Other than the romance novel I wouldn't let Sally take, they loved their new finds.

The Good Old Days

  

Usually, "Good Old Days" happens on General Conference weekend, so we rush down in-between sessions.

But this year, because of Easter, it got pushed back a week. 

We walked down early for the parade and then walked down to the street fair after.

Same baseball game as last year with the same plastic bats as prizes (all but one popped before we got home).

Did a few rides, walked a lot, and then walked some more on home.

Love our small town festivities.

Later that day, Justin came home from Costco with a kite.

Our kite flew well at first, but by the time the boys and Laflans got down there, it was way too windy.

Before the crazy wind:

Dos and Deoderants

4/6

Axle and August.

4/9

Drew decided he needs to wear deoderant and convinced me to buy him some.

He does not stink whatsover, but hey if he wants to smell good I'm fine with that.

The next day he made all his friends smell his armpits.

And now Auggie is obsessed with the stuff and thinks he needs deoderant, too.

4/9

Our ward did raingutter regatta this year instead of pinewood derby.

I loved it because all boats were 100% done by the boys during scouts.

 Drew didn't win one race that counted (and he was bummed),

but he did win the "Classiest Cutter" award.

Which may have had something to do with the fact that he had the most family voters there.

Or maybe not.

I still feel bad that I was impartial and didn't vote for his.

 Cat set up this ice cream sundae bar in a raingutter that was super fun.

4/10

This kid joins me in the bathroom more often than not.

This particular day instead of following me out, he purposefully locked himself in.

And would not come out.

He went to town on my make-up and deoderant.

And then instead of unlocking the door, sat down on the sink and cried until Justin busted in.

Some happier moments:
