Kitchen play
I belong to a yard sale kids group on facebook and today this was posted! We left the house as soon as the post published - ha! Elliot LOVES playing kitchen! He's sooooo happy, it's adorable! These things are so expensive - and we're not sure if he'll grow out of it or not!

How to Speak Philadelphian....
Being from Philadelphia - I do have some Philly-isms. I wonder if Elliot will pick up on them. He's going to have a PA-Dutchified-Philadelphian vocabulary. Ha! Below are some photos of Elliot playing with chalk on the chalkboard paint downstairs as well as some Philly-isms I saw on a blog I follow.

A nice treat...
After our family trip to the library today, we decided to pick up some dinner and head home. We ended up picking up dessert, too! Dessert was PERFECT for Elliot today. Elliot's molars are starting to come in and I recently read that the two year molars are "the worst" and the pain can come and go for weeks or MONTHS before the buds even break through.
We tried Top-It for the first time. I give them an A+!
Top-It is pretty cool!
You pay by the ounce (about $0.40) and you can get as much as you want of whatever you want. It's self-serve. I was able to go in with Elliot and let HIM choose from the flavors I read off. He was able to choose if he wanted a waffle bowl, a waffle cone, or a cup. (Yes, HE chooses.)
After we selected our flavors (he had peanut butter and vanilla), we then got to take a look at the toppings. They have everything. FRESH (not canned) fruit - yes, please! Nuts, granola, candy, even cookie dough! Elliot chose to have "blues" (blueberries), "rabs" (raspberries), strawberry and a small sprinkle of chopped almond. Total: $3.07
The cool thing is I was able to mix some of the "rabs" and "blues" in to the bottom so that when we got close to finishing, he still had some cold and frozen fruit to suck on. Molars coming in is rough! Top-It to the Rescue! As a family, we shared the entire treat. However, I have a feeling we'll be going back to make our own sometime soon.

Our evening (in no particular order)
I must say, I love nights like tonight.
Not to humid. Not buggy. A perfect grilling night.
Mark made us hamburgers on the grill.
Elliot had a hot dog and discovered he still loves ketchup but is not a fan of mustard. After supper, we played in the yard and watched the sun set. And then... SMORES!
Nothing says 'summer' like a good ole smore!
