Nothing like signing up for this year’s library summer reading program to remind one to use last year’s prize – a coupon for an ice cream cone at Every Day’s a Sundae. These photos are from about a week ago.

Ezri went for Lighthouse Cherry and Ivan went for Superman ice cream. He used to get Blue Moon but ever since an illness coincided with Blue Moon consumption he’s gone Superman.

“No, Amanda, these are just training exercises,” Ezri assures me.

My friend Laura sent these Japanese candy mixing kits.

They make gooey blobs and foam that tastes like Japanese melon candy.
The kids had a blast concocting sugary weird consistency mixtures.

Ivan is making some “brainbows” tiny seed-like pellets that expand into marble sized orbs. Laura sent us some of these last year and we received more this year from our pal Meghan. They bounce and get big with just hot water. So much fun – though less sugary than the Japanese candy mixes which is a plus or a minus depending on your perspective.

And they teamed up to help Miss Kelly build a snowman.

She followed Eric or I through the house reading us Shopkins jokes. Shopkins + Corny Jokes = a great book according to Ezri.

Ezri and her friend Alice worked together to test rocks to find out which was the thirstiest.

Ezri thinks it still needs a pom-pom.

“I found a flower in my cereal. Will you take a picture of it?”

Thanks, digital photography, for making it easy to honor this request.
