Counting

You girls each need to pick up ten things in your room

Allie: ugh! Why not 9 or 11

Okay, 11 then 

Maddie: Allie, 11 is more than 10

Allie: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Whoopsie!

Hmmm

Yes we still have the bunnies. But only until we find them a home. 

A first

Allie's story is that maddie threw it into the air, Allie looked up, and somehow, miraculously it ended up wedged in her nostril. I can't stop laughing. 

It was a little plastic flower. 

Picnic on the beach

I promised them that after running some errands we could have a picnic. And they held me to it. And it was beautiful. I'm so glad the rain stayed away. 

Meet Mariwanda

Don't ask me how Maddie came up with that name.  But I think it's quite hilarious. And no. The bunnies are not ours- I am pretty sure out neighbors are setting them free...

Sunday Funday

Aunt Jamie got Maddie golf clubs for her birthday. Maddie ❤️ Them. 

We went to Uncle Chris' and Auntie Sophia's for dinner. 

Maddie made a very beautiful fruit salad

While Allie helped feed Ethan. 

And then we rode bikes to end the day.

No joke

I found her asleep in the hall. Sitting up. 

So I dragged her into bed. 

Fancy feast

Always

•refuses to take a nap

•insists she's not tired

•falls asleep within one minute of our destination

LOVING the sunshine. 

Doing our homework outside. 

Stopping to smell the roses (or peonies)

 Loving on her baby cousin 

Allie was so happy that this kitty followed us on our walk.

Straight from Mexico. 

Thank you Pofo!

Waiting for big sister

Hanging out on the lake

I had to work Monday night so the girls lucked out with a boat ride and family time. 

Picnic

I promised the girls I would be quick at the gym and that we could eat dinner outside tonight. EVERYONE (chickens and rudder especially) was happy.
