Magic Show

 

 I am DONE with canning this year. More tomato sauce and grape jelly. Yum Yum! Barry did these ones. 

 

Also, this is Rainbow Lightning! A new addition to our family. Grandpa Stuart bought this pony for Lauren and she LOVES IT, she carries it EVERYWHERE with her. Sadly, on the way home from Grandma's house, Rainbow Lightning, unwisely flew out the window! On the divided highway!!!!  We had to backtrack about 8 miles and with a lot of little heartfelt prayers from Lauren and her compassionate siblings we were able to locate Rainbow Lighting, napping on the road. Fortunately, I was able to carefully snatch her up without getting ran over myself.



 

 What to do with pretzel dough that you accidently put the egg in the dough instead of brushing it on top??? Add some cinnamon and raisens and bake the sucker. I think it's rather fitting for Idaho. Looking like an overgrown potato, but tasting delicious. The soft pretzels(second batch) were yummy too!

The kids put on the cutest magic show for me this morning. I read about the event in "The Scoop". The show was held conveniently during school hours ...but I let it slide. Emma and I attended. It was the best magic show I have ever been too.

First James told the audience he was going to balance TWO balls on top of each other. (We were very impressed)

I started to chuckle when he brought out the balls.

 Look! a box with a piece of wood in it. I watched as Ellie tied a string around the box. Both of them promised not to untie the string or take it off the box. Wal La! the piece of wood was gone! (I'm pretty sure there was a box switcheroo in there somewhere, but it was a great trick!



 My absolute favorite trick. Ellie turned an ordinary girl, into a MERMAID! First Lauren came out and talked to me a little, and turned around so I could indeed see she was an ordinary girl. Then after some clever planned distraction by James and a suspiciously long time behind the curtain. Wal La! A mermaid!! She had to be carried back to the stage, because as everyone knows Mermaids cannot walk. :)

  Later in the show the mermaid was turned into a MERMAID PRINCESS.  ...with a quick addition of a crown.

 

Emmie (aka brownie face) also enjoyed the show.

 

Come back for tomorrow's post. "The Scoop" and the Corn maze!

p.s. Sorry the pictures are so blurry, my camera battery is dead, and someone got cooking spray on my phone. :P
