Peaches and butter

100% natural and organic. Who would have thought peaches and butter would make such a terrific hair gel? I think she may be on to something here... Any takers?

Olympic fever

Olympic junkies. Yep, that's us. We just can't get enough and it doesn't hurt that they are taking place right down the street. Well, okay a few miles away, but still "local". I am a bit bummed that we have only been able to watch one event thus far in-person - the women's marathon. My attempts to purchase daily released tickets for other events has proven futile. Hopefully we'll be able to attend the men's marathon on Sunday. At least I can say that I attended the 2012 Olympics and our future Olympian (Charlotte seems to have an affinity for water) has pictures to prove her attendance.

a soggy start to our Olympics viewing

Future Gold Medalist? Or just Cadbury chocolate junkie...

Go team ?

On a humorous note, Tim and I had a very interesting swimming discussion. I believe this was during the men's 400m Freestyle finals - (preface: after watching every swimming event occurring during the Olympics thus far... and every Olympics prior to 2012) Tim casually stated, "I don't even know why they call this race the freestyle, as if anyone is going to choose to doggie paddle or breaststroke while everyone else is flying by with this stroke." Oh Timmy...I guess neither Ian "Thorpedo" Thorpe nor Gary Hall Jr. made much of an impression on you growing up. ha

Stonehenge

Okay, so not the real Stonehenge, but how cool is this? In the spirit of the Olympics and festivals across London, Sacrilege (a life-sized inflatable bouncy replica of Stonehenge) visited our local park. Even after nearly getting pounced by very enthusiastic "children" (aka, other parents trying to show off their glorified high school gymnastics skills), Charlotte enjoyed every minute of it. While I hope to visit the real Stonehenge one day soon, I'm sure it will not compare in the least to a bouncy castle. Ahem, you know, for Charlotte.
