forgotten

About a week ago, we had a get together with our RDEP friends at the splash park. We had food, games, and water. It was a lot of fun watching Sawyer run through the water. When we came home; some of the ranch dressing that we had in our cooler spilled out of its container and was everywhere inside of the cooler. Since it was Sunday when I noticed it, I didn't really want to clean it out, so I put it outside on our front porch. BAD IDEA. I forgot about it until last night. Almost two weeks. You can imagine the humidity and the heat cooking that ranch dressing that I left inside the cooler. AHHHH! When I opened the cooler last night, a fume of warm heat was released out of the cooler, caring a rotten, putrid, gagging smell. I gagged the whole night while I cleaned it.


The moral of the story, clean up after you are done making a mess.

fireflies

All my life I have wanted to see fireflies.  I remember two summers ago, I was so excited to go to see Heather my sister in up state New York because they have fireflies up there. But for some reason they weren't there when I visited.   Now that we have moved to Omaha I have seen them every night.  They are very magical and enchanting.

One evening after I had put Sawyer down for the night, Jake and I when outside to throw a football around.  I remember missing one of Jake's throws and having to walk aways to retrieve it.  As I was bending down to get the football, I saw a flash of light, almost like a spark 12 feet in front of me.   I froze and realized I had just seen a fireflies!   I started to yell and scream the words to Jake " I JUST SAW A FIREFLY!  I was so happy and excited! The rest of the evening we watched and waited to see if we could see anymore, but we didn't. Now however, I seen them every night. They are very magical and enchanting bug.
