Wow, we're at 49 days today! 
Aaron is gone for a little while because it's his duty day and Ashlyn is getting ready to watch Elmo's World so I thought I'd take the opportunity to update!! I don't have a lot of pictures, just for our movie nights, but we still had fun. Here's what we've been up to...
61 Days: It was Aaron's birthday! Poor guy had to work ALL DAY LONG this day, but at least he had a fun birthday weekend.
Oh, I did make him some sweet tea. He loves that stuff and I haven't made it in awhile.
60 Days: This was National Hot Dog Day! We didn't do anything very creative like our French Fry Day dessert, but we had chili dogs for dinner.
59 Days: We made Mickey ice cube drinks. This was one of Aaron's ideas when we were planning the calendar. I loved the idea! Anyway, I used our Mickey ice cube tray to make lemonade ice cubes. Aaron put them in his sweet tea (and he said it tasted exactly like lemon Nestea) and I, not being a fan of tea, put them in lemonade. It was fun.
58 Days: This was a Friday, so we went to story time and borrowed some new books!
57 Days: Movie night! We watched A Bug's Life. We were really busy this weekend (though at this moment I couldn't tell you what we did
Ashlyn's been waking me up too early lately due to teething... my memory's shot) so we didn't do a whole lot for it, but we enjoyed the movie! For dinner we had a little picnic in the living room.
Oh my gosh, the dessert.
I had wanted to make worms in dirt. Pudding, crumbled Oreos, and gummy worms. Well, the only gummy worms on island are the sour kind. We didn't really think that would be so good with the chocolate (I'm sure others might like it... just not our cup of tea). So the closest thing we could find were gummy bears. Not exactly in line with the movie, but it was good! 
And Ashlyn wore a cute little shirt with a butterfly on it. You can't really see it in this picture, but she also got a new princess chair this day (it was supposed to be a birthday gift, but her Daddy couldn't wait!) to watch the movie in.
She is so funny with this chair. She'll bring her Ariel pillow over sometimes when she wants to sit in it. She'll sit in the chair (which is super soft and plush) and put her feet up on the pillow. It is the funniest thing!
We were going to paint an egg carton and make it into a caterpillar, but we didn't get a chance to. I saved the carton, though, so we'll do that craft another time.
56 Days: We had a game night! We hadn't gotten around to playing Disney Scene It yet so we played that as well as Disney's Dance Dance Revolution! We had so much fun. We didn't play Dance Dance Revolution very long because Ashlyn wanted to dance, too, but when she would dance on the mats with us, she would press the parts that caused the song to stop and stuff like that. It was still fun, though.
55 Days: We are just under one year until we move back to the states (though we won't begin to put in requests for where until September) so we started a list of things we want to do here before we leave. We're not done with the list yet. We're going to keep adding to it and trying to do it all!
54 Days: Take Your Pants For A Walk Day! This was another random holiday I found online on that website I mentioned I believe last update. It is just a day to get out and take a walk!
53 Days: National Milk Chocolate Day! I wasn't sure what I was going to make for this day, but then I had a friend and her kids come over that morning because we had been planning for awhile to get together and bake cookies. So we made some Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk cookies. We had so much fun chatting and baking while the kids played.
52 Days: I made sure that Ashlyn and I took some time out this morning to go play out back. She hadn't been feeling well this past week due to teething. She was starting to feel better and also started feeling cooped up (and all our playgrounds have been under construction until yesterday... let me tell you, I'm SO excited they're open again!) so we went out back and blew bubbles!
51 Days: Another Friday, so we went to story time!
At 50 days, yesterday, we had another movie night! We're having movie nights for a few weeks in a row, instead of every other week, because Aaron is going off island for school soon for a couple of weeks so we'll be taking a break from movie nights for the ones he'd miss. So we're just making sure that we fit in all the ones we had planned. Anyway, I'll post those pics in the next post.

it! He couldn't stop talking about how good it was. 
) but I thought it was delicious room temp!
Ashlyn will be coloring our August calendar! I'll post a picture of that in the next update. 
Nope, you are definitely not alone in celebrating those little holidays. 
Ashlyn is such the little princess needing a pillow for her aching feet. 
It took me a long time to come up with 100 activities... and I did cheat a little by putting story time for every Friday. 
She amazes me every day.
