Today the kids brought their sticker charts to the library so that they could get their prizes for reading 4 hours this summer. When the librarian handed them their coupons for a free ice cream cone at Dairy Queen Max forgot about proper library etiquette and started yelling with joy. So we left rather quickly to cash in our coupons.

Needless to say, they really enjoyed those ice cream cones and they deserved them! Hopefully we can get another 4 hours in before the summer is over to enjoy another cone, but if not, it was so worth it just to see their excitement. (Ok, maybe Max's, Rory just kept singing the "I scream" song.)

Later this evening I caught an adorable moment as Max and Rory tried to hide from me on the chair so they didn't have to help pick up before bedtime. Yes, I am being slightly sarcastic, but it did make for a cute picture.

And last but not least, Max's awesome scratch. After this picture was taken he got another scratch on the side of his head.

You'd think by now he'd know not to jump all over Maya when she's laying down. She's got no choice but to bat at him with her paws to get him off of her which leaves scratch marks!
