I’m not going to spend a lot of time typing on this one. So, enjoy the pictures. I haven’t posted since the Chopped fun, but we have had a few things we have been up to…
Being together with friends and family:
Ellie and Bailey moved into a new house, so I offered a play date to give their parents a day to unpack. It is always much easier without kids digging through boxes. They all had a lot of fun with the playset, the sprinkler, and their imaginations.
Reconnecting with the Kimes. We enjoyed an afternoon at a pool and eating pizza. Perfect for the kids and adults.
Biking to my brother’s house. It is always a good destination. Landen hopped on his bike and rode home with us – a fun addition.
August birthday parties. We celebrated where there was a pool. It was the only cold and rainy day we had had in ages. It was still a good time being with family.
Jeep rides with uncle Luke.
Other things were fun that were just happening at home.
The girls were busy in the bathroom and doing costume changes one day.
They came out dressed as a movie or book character. Madison just started reading my Babysitter Club book series by Ann Martin. She was dressed up as Kristy.
Ellie drew inspiration from the Barbie Adventures movies and dressed as Skipper.
24-hour challenges are a hit with my girls. They did one earlier this year—the 24 hour tent challenge where you try to stay in a tent for 24 hours. This one was the 24 hour van challenge. We pulled the seats out of the van to prepare. Beyond that, they did it all. It was one of the hotter days of the summer though, so we did hook up a fan to keep them cool. They did pretty well. Ellie had a hard time relaxing at night enough to fall asleep, so they did end up coming in to sleep. But they stayed out there longer than I would have!
We also signed up for a free Zoom cooking class with Rachel Ray – really! The girls made bbq chicken pizzas and watched the berry shortcake creation. They learned how to butterfly chicken for faster cooking, and how to make their own bbq sauce. The class went way to quickly to feel like you were able to keep up, but it was interesting to watch it all happen.
And Pepper’s been keeping us on our toes – either by getting into trouble or by making us feel guilty we are ignoring him.
Before school fun coming up soon…
