Summer Happenings

Left Ella with Ben to play together. When I came back he had accessorized her... and she loved it. I guess they have the same tastes. ;)

So many lazy lake days & pools days to count. This time of year that is almost a necessity!

Ali went tubing with me for the first time and Ben loved the 'weally fast boat'... white knuckled grasp and all.

A new favorite book complete with craft done with dad.

A few really fun nights out with the girls & even one sleep over! I can't remember the last time I've been to a sleep over sans babies. I dashed home at 8pm to feed Ella & put her to bed, then dashed back home before breakfast for her morning meal. She didn't even know I was gone. We watched Anne of Green Gables.... and if Heaven were ever close to earth, I would have to think it to be Green Gables.

Even though I was sleep deprived next day, it was refreshing.

Some ridiculous Wii dance moves.

Watching the grounds keepers re-level & re-seed the fields. A boy & a tractor could go together for hours.

A glimpse of our summer nature table. The white glob is a most interestingly textured shell.

In other news, our hermit crab is still surviving and well liked. I thought death or lack of interest would have parted our ways by now. Also, we have successfully grown our tadpoles into full frogs and they are due to be released this week. I really like that tradition. The metamorphosis from water breather to air breather fascinates me.
