Diet Treat

How sweet is Navy, who made this diet-friendly snack for her Dad.
That girl is constantly thinking of others, and makes everyone around her special!

Mall Stop

These best friends were pumped to stop at the mall for an hour between pick ups.

Especially when I stopped off at the playground for half of our time.
And Dash followed in his brother’s footsteps…and found $1.62!!!
He was SOOOO excited to show that off to Scout!
And when he did, Scout was really impressed.

Big Girl Underwear

Sometimes big girl underwear, and really teeny legs are tough to figure out.
But this look is perfect, for a girl who has a new-found love of skirts.

Flower Girl

This isn’t your typical flower girl.
But she is the spunkiest flower girl.

Hard Sleeping

When this girl finally sleeps, she sleeps hard.

And even after I get her up, she takes a few minutes to get up and going.

Dressed to the Nines

I put Pippi down for a nap.

Thirty minutes later, she showed up dressed like she was going somewhere pretty special.
She was in a closet in her bed, and she came out with everything she could get her hands on in that closet!

And then when I wanted to take a picture, she tried to act coy.
I say, “Own it” sister!
Your six layers of skirts and shirts, are nothing compared to all of the layers you have in that massive personality of yours!

Dash’s Friends

Yesterday, Dash came home with this school assignment.
I was glad to see that he has met a new friend.

But when I showed it to Pippi, she insisted on picking Dash up today, and then claimed her territory!

Japanese Beetle

You have never heard the kids laugh harder, than when I screamed bloody murder after discovering a Japanese Beetle on my wrist while driving!

Big Girl Pants

Guess who is wearing her big girl’s pants?!?!
Let’s put it this way.
She is completely potty trained.
She has gone potty and poop on the toilet.
She has given fair warnings when she needs to, and been completely successful.
But today, when she didn’t want to take a nap, she “mistakenly” had an accident.
YEAH RIGHT!
This girl is the queen in potty-training manipulation!
But she manipulated me, because I called Micah to tell him….”Buy more diapers in size 3, because I’m not cleaning up intentional messes”!
She will potty train when she wants to be in big girl pants enough!
I’m sure of it.

Shoes and Socks

I’m not sure what Pippi’s obsession is with her brother’s shoes and socks is.
But every single day, she has a new pair of socks on, with a pair of too-big-for-her shoes.
