Abigail thought this was the funniest thing ever. She had on a wrap to wear over a bathing suit, her hair in a side ponytail, and had her baby doll car seat strapped to her butt. HA!

Slide into the pool

All summer, Abigail has wanted to put the pool at the bottom of the slide. So we did a few weeks back. It was tons of fun. But we had to cut it short, the pool just couldn't handle the craziness.

Here is sweet Samuel with his first real boo boo. He was knocked down, on accident, by Josiah riding a scooter. He got quite the mark on his face. All the more reason to kiss him!

Abigail went to a party earlier this summer where they had a pinata. She loved it and wanted one for her birthday. So I told her we could make one. She was so excited. It was so much fun to make it ourselves and it turned out so good it was such a bummer to have to bust it. But it was fun!

Abigail really wanted to hunt bugs for her party. But not everyone loves bugs like her. So I tried to do something fun that would be close to that. So we got a bunch of tiny plastic bugs and had a bug hunt in the yard. It was sort of like an Easter egg hunt, and it was so much fun! Elizabeth finds one in the bush.
