Ella's pics from August

Ella's getting a lot better at writing her name. The pic on the left is the first time she wrote it. I don't know about the one on the chalkboard. I tried explaining that the smaller letters should be lower, but she didn't like that. :o)

Blackmail bubble bath pics...

Man, there's a lot of hair between the two of them.

5 minutes earlier... "No Mommy, I don't need a nap today."

She loves her games, no matter how she plays them.

I was able to move their table into the kitchen and get my dining room back to a non-daycare look. Well, the easel is in there for now, that will be moving soon. We got a little breakfast table to fill in the spot.

Ella and Holly love the new easel, now if only I can keep Holly from trying to eat the chalk...

Such a goofball.

Don and Sandy's house

Okay, I've been bad about this lately, but I'm trying to catch up. On August 8th, we went to my Uncle Don and Aunt Sandy's house for a family BBQ. Ella and Holly had a lot of fun playing in the sprinkler with Mia and Gabe, my cousin's twins.

Mia and Gabe discovered that if you tilt the sprinkler, you can really soak your sibling. Ella had a lot of fun with this. We let it happen, because Holly kept cracking up and running back for more. Did you see the video of it? Scroll down to the left and visit my Youtube page!

Holly got soaked, but it was really hot that day... kept the kids happy and cool.

We tried getting a good pic of all the kids, but it's hard to keep them still for that long. I wish Holly would have smiled... oh well.

Beach Park Fest

Well, there wasn't much to this festival, but it's always nice to get out of the house. There were some craft tents, and we got some really awesome corn to bring home. There was a car show, some food, and bouncy things for Ella. As you can see from the pics, we spent most of our time at the park.

Holly had a lot of fun, but some trouble climbing through this tunnel.

Holly can do the slides now. She sits and scoots until she slides down. It's not that pretty, but gets the job done. Daddy thought it was quite funny.

Ella should be better at this by now, I think she's just being silly :o)

Ella's stuff from the very end of July

As you can see, Ella no longer fears eating ice cream. How cute are they at the kids' table? Our favorite place to go out for ice cream is the little shop at the harbor.

"I want the pink ice cream Mommy?"

Ella's getting attacked by Pork Chop. Lick, lick, lick!

Holly Pictures - end of July

Grandma got Holly a nice, squishy ball. Holly had a lot of fun making baskets with it.

We took the girls out for ice cream last Friday night. There's a cute, little ice cream shop at the harbor. I have to say, Holly did much better with her first ice cream cone than Ella did.

For those who don't remember, Ella got 10 times as messy, numbed her lip, bit it, bled, and wouldn't eat ice cream for another year. She would scream (literally) when she saw ice cream. Holly had a good time and I think will love going out for ice cream.


Yup. Holly has a ton of hair.

Holly loves her baths, she also love when the duckies slide down the side of the tub and make a big splash into the tub.
