Fri-YAY!

Well hello Friday! I'm pretty happy to see you! We've got some exciting plans this weekend to have our postponed 4th of July BBQ with our friends and to go see the Minion movie so we're pretty excited! But before we jump ahead to the weekend... here's what I'm loving this week (prepare for extra randomness)!


ONE.
The Day the Crayons Came Home.

When I was on Amazon looking for something different earlier this week, Amazon was so kind to suggest this book for me : The Day the Crayons Came Home. It's the perfect companion to the book The Day the Crayons Quit. It comes out on August 18th, is currently available for pre-order and is on Mason's birthday wish list (but might make it's way onto his Christmas wish list instead since it doesn't come out for another month).


TWO.
Zoku Fish Pop Molds.

So I'm pretty bad at keeping presents that come in the mail to open on an actual birthday. For some reason, I feel like if the gift has arrived at my house, it's fair game. I mean, who can stare at a wrapped present for too long without wanting to open it? So, when a present arrived in the mail yesterday for Mason for his birthday, what's a mom to do? Let him open it! (And he's actually gotten really good at opening presents and seems really into it this year so I'm pretty excited for next weekend (and then for Christmas!))

What was in the package you might ask? These Zoku Fish Pop Molds! Grandma and Grandpa must have known that we've been wanting to make popsicles and these ones are the cutest! They have specific "tails" that match the "heads" that are inside the molds. So a fish tail matches a fish head and scuba diver legs match a scuba diver head, etc. Fun, right? I can't wait to try these out! Totally acceptable to make winesicles out of kids popsicle molds, right? (just kidding Grandma and Grandpa!)


THREE.
Amazon Prime Day.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale...

Info from Amazon

I have no idea what this Prime Day is all about but I plan to hop online on the 15th to find out! And, speaking of Christmas (from above), ... one thing is for sure... it sounds like July 15th would be a good day to start on early Christmas shopping!


FOUR.
Donut frozen yogurt.

I made a pit stop on the way home from work earlier in the week to get from frozen yogurt from Yogurtland and saw a sign in the window saying they had donut frozen yogurt. My first thought was "umm, eww!" but when I walked in and the cashier asked me if I'd like a sample cup, I thought, "sure, why not?" So, since it was free, I decided to try said donut frozen yogurt and OH MY GOSH was it good! I was insanely surprised it was actually so good (I imagined it tasting like the glaze from the donuts but it wasn't quite that sweet) and ended up getting half donut flavor and half salted caramel (my FAVE!). If you have a Yogurtland near you, I definitely recommend at least trying the donut flavor (and DEFINITELY recommend getting the salted caramel)!


FIVE.
And now back tracking to the Fall...

I'm doing a fun project in a few weeks and have a question... when do your kids start school in the Fall? August? September? What day? Please and thank you in advance!


Happy Weekending!
