Summer Days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

So I'm behind. That's a given in my house. I like to say we've been busy making memories, so enjoy the photos.

Garden Stone Painting

Evie's T-Rex garden stone.

Maisey made a Best Friends Heart stone for Lily, who spent the day with us.

A Trip to the Zoo

Our own backyard zoo a few miles away, complete with new giraffe. I stole some photos from my friend JM, who takes much better pictures of kids than I do, as you can see by the photos. The first photo is mine, and not great.

Playing Dress Up

Princess Maisey and the Evil Queen Evie (she chose this name!) playing in Maisey's new canopy tent. Evie is making quite the convincingly evil face there too.

Yeah! The pool's open!

Backyard Fun

Oh yeah, and a birthday party or two for a certain 6 year old.

Play Date

A playdate with Maisey's other best friend Isabella. Fun time swimming and hanging out. Those two are peas in a pod!

White Day Creek

Creek walking and fishing with Daddy.

My view from the car (with a snoozing little girl in the back).

Morning at the park.

I thought the Art Cart would be there, but I was a week early. Oh well.

Pit stop at the grocery store.

The girls were excellent helpers today with their own carts! We were getting ingredients for our next project.

Kitchen Creativity

Yes, we made rainbow cake. Inspiration via Pinterest shown here.

Mommy Date

As Maisey calls it, we had a Mommy date last night, complete with dinner, pedicures and massage, and a trip to the bookstore. Great relaxing time. After this whole week, I need it!
