Thurs. July 31, 2014 - Hot fun in the summertime

 Aunt Amy was going to sketch princess dresses for Micaela's side of the room but instead made beautiful mini-dresses

 Aunt Amy bought the girls a shark slip and slide; it actually took some convincing to get them to go down because they were afraid of the shark (the water turns on and off to make it fall over and chomp)


 First trip down

 It was fun!


 Riley convinced Aunt Amy to take a trip down the slide

 Eventually the girls got their aunts to pull them down so they could slide faster

 They loved it

It looks like Peg and Amy are bowling

 No ladder? 

 No problem!

 Peg and Amy spent a lot of time chopping so we could put together some meals for my freezer

 They did a great job

 New day, time to run through the turtle sprinkler

 One of our friends gave us a stroller that will hold twin carseats which can be replaced with regular stroller seats when the babies can sit up

It is a really nice stroller that moves smoothly but Aunt Amy needs a little more practice before any babies sit in it

 The twins will be here just in time for football season, I'm sure they'll want to cheer for da Bears

 I'm running out of time so we did our back-to-school haircuts a little early. Riley wanted to go short

 It is adorable

This weekend Aunt Amy and Great Aunt Peg came for a visit. It was awesome to sit back and watch the energetic aunts exhaust the girls. They played games, ran around the yard and made endless trips down the slip and slide. And when the girls were finally tired and went to bed, they helped me chop food to make 6 different meals for my freezer. I had asked Amy to sketch some princess dresses for Micaela's side of the room. Of course she went way beyond that and made beautiful mini dresses that we mounted in shadow boxes. I can't wait to get them on the wall. We had a really great time with them and I'm so appreciative of all they helped us do.
