Well, I'm trying a different way to put pictures on here in an attempt to make the words line up with the pics better. So far, not much better. Oh well. The first three are of our little play vacation. We dropped Bob off at the airport yesterday morning and the girls were a little sad they didn't get to go. So in the afternoon, we played vacation. I set up a table for their dinner and was their waitress, giving them a menu and calling them "miss" and they called me "ma'am." Then after dinner they checked into their "hotel room" which is our guest room with a new futon. I let them borrow some old keys and packed their jammies in their backpacks. After they checked in, we went to a show (a Russian dance and choir video I picked up at the library) then all three went to bed in the futon. They did fairly well at being quiet and staying in bed, but I did have to take Dessa out in the middle of the night. I can't imagine how Lily and Ella slept with her in the middle--I took her into my bed and was kicked and head-butted all night. Anyhow, we had lots of fun.
Here is a cute picture of Dess and Ella in thier jammies. The next photo is of Daddy, Grandma Bunky and the girls doing the bacon dance.
Here is Lily with her first lost tooth, which is in the baggy she's holding. Second picture is Dessa "helping" which you can imagine is more delightful than it is helpful.
These two are from the last hot weekend we spent outside. We always seem to discover really great places to play right at the end of summer. What a fun spot this is! Growing up in Montana, I always figured lovely beach sand was only found on the coast, but we have it here in Wenatchee! Someone needs to figure out how to make lightweight sand insoles because I felt no pain from my broken bone in my foot when we were on the sand. (Didn't know it was broken at the time).
