As I was saying in my last post, the laundry is caught up, and here's why:
All I can say is 
We also had some nice outdoor activity taking place this week. Since it is so hot here in the summer time, we sort of get cabin fever! Having hibernated in the air conditioning for several months, we soooo enjoy these days when the temps are dropping!
After a few spills, Emily decided to come in and do something safer:
And last, but not least, the girls got to burn off some energy playing a game they invented, called Superball Baseball. The "batter" gives the superball a big bounce and then runs the bases, while the one "outfielder" attempts to catch the ball and tag her sister. This is a great game when played with Dad 
After this we walked home past the fire station and watched the fire-fighters doing their morning exercises:
Today ended with this, cake and ice cream for the birthday girl. Our birthday traditions include the birthday kid's favorite meal for supper, a lunch date with Daddy (Alison wisely chose In-N-Out Burger, a favorite with her "date" -- this also gave her the opportunity to ride farther in the front seat of the van for the first time, lol, since it has an air bag) and the birthday cake of choice made by the birthday girl all by herself:
Thank you to all of you who left Alison a birthday comment!
Oh how fun! I loved your photos and I can see that these girls are going to be GREAT wives!! I mean look at all the laundry that girl can do!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my post. It is very hard to take a stand in a society that says, "but surely God wouldn't be so cruel as to make me stay unmarried because I am divorced?" God honours covenants made even between unbelievers.... God hates divorce, and He is not a god of convenience.
Blessings my friend :-)
Hello! Thank you for the comment... and the encouragement! I would love to come over (maybe we will in a few years!!) and play with the girls - er - I mean help. I am so blessed to know your girls. Alison is so very sweet and Amy is just as sweet!! Lovely youg ladies that I am proud to call friends!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Alison had a good bday! I didn't comment her (GASPS!) but I sent her a card. ; )
Love,
Jocelyn
The one day of fall that allowed us to get out and take a quick nature walk is gone, and we're back into summer. I'm looking forward to October, or I should say, later in October. Also, as we head off to our chores today, I couldn't help but smile at the shot of the little one on a footstool getting laundry together. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI thoughty that was you standing on your head in the washer until I saw the second picture. lol You have such cute kiddos! I hope Alison had a great birthday! It was 71 at 6:30 a.m. today and was walking on clouds happy that it was so warm.
ReplyDeleteWarm Wishes!
looks like fun
ReplyDeleteoh how wonderful to play OUTSIDE! Funny how backwards we are from most people - we get cabin fever in the summer.
ReplyDeleteand we have more green than you because our water is not rationed yet...thanks to the Colorado River and lots of farming in our Valley. :-) Very few rock lawns around here. (that's one of my memories of living in Sierra Vista, AZ)
