June 2012

I always try to have a cute little title for my blog posts but I also always feel unsuccessful in that they are repetitive or corney.  Oh well.  This one is quite true.  These are the best photos from all of June 2012.  I actually never even downloaded any from my camera onto the computer until July 1.  As usual, we have been busy.  I will probably forget 90% of what I had thought "Oh, I should put that on the blog!"

I have started to "follow" lots of other blogs.  Between that and Pinterest I want to be independently wealthy so I can spend all my time doing things like making bows and cooking gourmet meals and learning to sew.  Oh well.  I guess I could do that now, but something would have to give.  Like sleep.  I stayed up until 11:30pm (GASP!) working on bows on Saturday night.  I also felt the urge to make the girls egg salad for lunches this week (when PB&J would have been fine, and probably preferred!).

Ceci moved to a bed on Friday night. It has been a challenge so far.  Not such a smart move to make as on Saturday Justin left for Brazil.  So, I have had my hands full trying to keep her in bed, and settled in bed.

I can't remember where this was, but she had fun!

 

I think this was one of several recent trips to the blueberry patch

Vivi's 5th B-day party.  Interesting to see how M interacts with the other kids.  Here is is pulling a string from a pinata.  Whatever happened to the stick?

 

Here M is collecting candy and showing it to (not sharing it with) Ceci

 

The best part of the party is always the cake

 

Presents galore

 

M with the other kids, taking it all in

Ceci was determined to rollerskate.  Note she has removed a shoe.

Now she is trying to get her foot in the skate!

 

Once again, a ham

 

Finger sucker.  Still.  It even hurts her.

Blackberry picking.  The hat stayed on about 1 minute.

We were lucky enough to be invited to 3 pool parties in about 5 days.  By the third one I had realized that I needed some help and we bought some neat life-jacket floatie type things from Target.  WHY HAD I NEVER BOUGHT THESE BEFORE?  I could actually be in the water and NOT have to hold onto the girls!

 

Ceci was mad at me--I can't remember why--and I thought it would be sort of funny to take this picture.

 

Both M and C went down the BIG slide!  M unassisted!

 

Yea!

Daredevil #2

 

This was yesterday (Sunday) morning.  I thought C looked so cute.  Decked out in her little outfit with her "gloves" on (lately she as been OBSESSED with putting socks on her hands and calling them gloves; she gets very upset when they are not on how she likes them, which I can't really figure out since they are actully socks).  Note the Minnie Mouse ears, bow, and wings as well.

So, we pulled the trigger with the driveway.  They came to do some demolition on Tuesday and then left.  Don't really know when they are coming back as it is always "tomorrow."  But, they left the Bobcat, which is exciting for the little ones.
