august extras

Thank you, August, for finally giving us the delicious summer weather we'd been waiting for

We had a blast!

Here are some of the highlights:

The Polly Love continues...they headed to the "movies" one day

and, of course, each got their own "popcorn" :)

Tulip is loving the little dolls as well

We have to take off the little shoes and put them up high when she's around, but she's happiest to be playing right along side big sister

while I excel at dressing dollies and playing pretend, J is the king of adventure around here

one day, he had the brilliant idea of taking the roof off our slide and making a water park on the deck

the girls could not get enough of sliding down into the pool

so grateful for that balance we've achieved as parents

i know we don't get it right every time, but i'm proud of the team we're becoming

anywhoo - back to August...where was I?
oh yes.....
time in the pool.
daddy was on pool duty the day i came home to find this:

;)

we've also had fun this month playing with J's childhood farm set

Peach loves to be the cowboys

while Tulip is good at fetching grass and rocks to feed the animals

don't you love the cage?  hand-drawn by momma :)

good-bye, summer.
hello, sweet september :)
