days gone by

Some of this,

a little of that,

not enough of this,

and maybe too much of that.

september, continued

Squash,

apples,

necklaces,

and forts.

september, so far

September finds us

still in summer mode.

But sometimes without big brother around.

Pigs branch out into new and grassy pasture.

Grapes aplenty.

Two giant bowls!

And lots of mini mini cucumbers.

We also welcome Shady Lodge to the ranks of resident forts.

happy 4

Happy Birthday #4!

9am: present time.
Holy suitcase full of baby doll clothes! 3 cheers for eBay!

9:01am: new (sharp) markers (that miraculously aren't dried out or missing a cap).

11am: relaxing in the wagon with a new book.

3pm: team b-day cake.

6pm: giant pizza for the birthday girl.

6:30pm: What fun! Cake for all!

school is cool

This 1st grader is WAY too cool for a 1st day-o-school pose.

Not these girls.

The season of bro-at-school is here again.
