The Simple Things in Life

Who needs modern technology all the time? Sometime the simple things in life can just make you feel good.

First Day of Preschool


Last Day of Preschool

Storytime

Sunflower loves storytime. And Lilypad Princess is her favorite storyteller. Yesterday while trying to pack us up to head from Grandpa's house to the beach, I asked LP if she could keep an eye on Sunflower while I got the diapers out of the dryer. When I walked into the bedroom about 2 minutes later, LP was "reading" her favorite story to Sunflower. When I went to pick her up, LP told me she wasn't done and could I leave her there. So I was able to finish packing, shower, and pack up the car completely while LP read Sunflower the entire stack of books that she has there.

On A Roll

Sunflower is rolling. She has had a few random rolls that surprised her, but yesterday and today she made herself roll from her back to her front multiple times.

100 Degrees

What do you do when the temperature actually hits 100 degrees? If you are LP you cool off with a few runs through the sprinkler!



Grandpa pulled out the sprinkler today so LP could spend some time outside without having to worry about the heat. She had a great time running through, getting a drink, trying to beat the water to the other side, and getting us a little wet.



Sunflower was happy to watch her big sister, but seemed a little concerned about the water. And she was NOT happy to actually get wet.

Best Friends

There is nothing more fun than laughing with your best friends.

A Visit

Sunflower made her second visit to Grandpa and Nannie's house this weekend. She was a little worn out after the party and the late night, but she still managed to smile and laugh at Grandpa and loved wandering around the house with Nannie checking everything out. The yellow flowers on the table were the favorite. She managed a nap on Grandpa's lap for a while to catch a second wind before heading out to watch LP play.

Happy 4th of July!

The girls and I had a wonderful day today catching up with family and old friends. My cousin Lee and her boyfriend John threw a great bash with tons of food, lots of chatting, and of course, the pool. I think LP spent about 1/2 an hour NOT in the pool the entire day. It didn't matter that she was purple and shivering, she was swimming. Clara moved from Lee, to Eka, to Auntie Diane, to my cousin Christy, to her new favorite person, Christy's boyfriend Patrick, and back around the circle again throughout the day. I will have to add pictures later unfortunately, I left the camera at the party last night!
