Placer County Fair and weight update

Here are the sheep that were being shown at the Placer County Fair, and the kids from 4H would place them in contests. It was interesting to see young kids at work caring for their animals.
Hunter wearing her Home Depot apron with her name on it, her sunglasses, and her new butterfly wings from a balloon artist. The apron and the butterfly wings were free, and the sunglasses she already owned.
Here is McKenna playing in the pool of water that was in this playland for kids to play in. It was free and allowed parents to let their kids get cool, do some coloring, and enjoy being a kid, without paying for rides...
Here is Hunter "watering" the pool. She loved this playland and her and McKenna were the only ones in it for 20 min.

Yesterday we went to the Placer County Fair, since it was free parking (if you parked on the street) and free admission. We spent 2 hours there, and only spent $15. We didn't buy any food or drinks (we ate before we left, and brought snacks and drinks for all of us in our bags), and only played 1 game at the booths. Ian LOVES turtles, and since I wasn't able to get him a Father's Day present, I thought I would let him play for this turtle. He got it cheaper at the fair than he would've if I would've bought it for him for Father's Day. Then we got him a glass Superman block, that you put on a light base, and it lights up the picture inside. It's pretty neat. I'll have to take a picture of it and put it on here.

As for a weight update, my BMI is 31.35 and my weight is 170.8. I'm slowly going down, and I hope to be 160 before the end of summer. As for the work situation, I am still on call at the law firm, going in to work for 3 hours in the morning on Ian's days off, or on the days when he works nights. This makes it so we are not paying for childcare, or using up lots of gas since it's still close to where we live.

Summer days

I've been home for 2 weeks now, with no work. I'm starting to get bored being home, yet when I'm working, I long for a day off. How does that work?

June is almost gone, and then July will be here. Our lease is up October 1 (we thought it was up Sept. 1, since we moved in Sept. 4), and we HAVE to be out of here. I REFUSE to bring my parents to this complex when they come to visit. I don't even like having in-laws come over. We can clean the place like crazy, and it still seems trashy and not homey. Oh well, here's to hoping I get a good job soon...

Ian's work is doing well, in fact, he'll be working more day shifts, thanks to an assistant manager that started whining, and now she'll be on nights. It will be nice to have him home for dinner.

The girls are growing up like crazy. McKenna has 2 teeth (take a picture when I can get a good one), and she is starting to take steps. Ian even has a pair of pink sandals on clearance for her at work that will be $10 after discount. I think he's getting a little excited to be buying shoes for the girls.

Well, that's all for now. Will update when I have more to talk about.
