Family

My sister has been in town off and on from Connecticut this summer, and we have had lots of fun!  This particular day we went to see Finding Dory.  I love how no one wanted to hold my hand, it's all about the cousins! We are grateful to older cousins who help the younger kids!

I want a kitty!



Abigail's friend got a kitty, and ever since Abigail has been begging for one!  We got a quick reprieve when the kitty scratched her bad, but then Abigail said she wanted a dog.  Now it's back to a cat.  She even promised she'd clean everything up!  I told her she can't even keep her room clean, how would she clean up after a cat? So a day later she had friends over and wouldn't let them play with her toys because she had to keep her room clean to earn a cat. Ha!

splash pad

For some reason my kids haven't been the biggest fans of splash pads - they'd play for a little bit, then they'd be done. This year was different - SO much fun!  It helped that there were lots of kids there! Lily was the only hesitant one, and would only go in if I was holding her. We love our summertime play!








I turned around from helping Lily with something, and found Abigail halfway across the monkey bars!  So proud of her!
