Sept 26th

After over a year of this unfinished wall it is going away!!!  So happy!  We put in a new window last August and we are beginning the LONG process of painting the living area.  I'm so excited!

Sept 27th

This is what happens when the girls are home with Daddy. . . I believe I left instructions of "they just had a bath- please don't let them get dirty."  She looks happy though! 

Sept 28th

Things you find in the dollhouse.  My favorite part is our boy cousins had been over on this day so I don't know if it was the boys or my girls who did this!

Sept 29th

Family dinner at Red Robin.  We rarely eat out at restaurants and so this was a special treat (we were heading to buy paint for the living room!).  The girls LOVE Red Robin and their kids menu is just perfect for them.  Miss Pumpkin loves their melon and devours it!

Sept 30th

It's Johnny Appleseed Day!  I love kindergarten. . .I think I should switch grade levels!

We had lots of fun this summer in the pool- either at Grandma's or Aunt K's.  This was our last hurrah. .. .we had the family over for a pizza and swim party.  The girls love the water just like Mommy.

Miss Sweet Pea loves the little window in the playhouse!  She will be disappointed when it has a real window!

August 9th

Sweet Pea getting all her pennies in a row!  She reminds me so much of her Daddy sometimes- she loves to manipulate things, put things together, and take them apart.  I thought this was pretty smart of her.

August 10th
