Tays waiting for a photoshoot to end... buried amongst the blankies/props...

Little sneaky.  She got in to my lipstick. At least she know where to put it on her face.

We had this for dinner one night when the fridge was a little bare...  They LOVED it!  Anything's great for dinner as long as it looks fun and has little serving sizes.

 We cleared out a tree- last one to go from the backyard.  All the girls got involved dragging the branches out to dispose of them.  Even tays.

This "little" spider has been a resident of our backyard for a couple weeks now- pretty gnarly huh?

Painted all of our nails- it was Taylor's first time.  She sat there all calm and excited the whole time. Sooo proud when I was done- she was giddy and felt just like the big girls.

 Our reading charts/chore charts.  They get a nickel for everything they do each day.  One nickel for their daily chores (empty the dishwasher, water the flowers, put away their laundry, feed the doggy, clean the playroom toys and shoes), one nickel for their music lessons (Abigail voice lessons, Addie piano) and once for their reading.

These are the reading books I got from Costco.  Addie is quite the reader, and is reading all the Amelia Bedelia and Fancy Nancy books on her own with great comprehension.  Abigail is reading the Biscuit Books and can read about 4 words per page.  I'm very proud of both of them. 

 We went to a free family night at the community center- they had a HUGE outdoor movie screen set up and they played "Despicable Me".  They also had free popcorn and face painting!  The girls were in heaven. (and so was I.  I love stuff like this.)

my friend's doggy doing tricks :)

Look how happy she is about her butterfly face.  She literally flapped around for an hour after this.

Woah the freckles!

Adds was going to tell a joke to the crowd but backed out.

We HAD to buy cotton candy.  I was as excited as the girls. 

Even Tays got some.  They were all so hopped up on sugar- by the end of the movie everyone was crying and whining!

Except for Addie of course. 

Playdate...

she ALWAYS has to sit on stuff.  Not on the floor... ON stuff- a book, a piece of paper, a toy... whatever.

At the beach with the cousins!  Terra and Megs came to visit and we took 'em camping.  Loved having them here.
