The girls and I went to the splash park after swimming lessons on Monday and ate lunch out there.  We had a great time playing together!

This picture perfectly captures the fun they were having!

It was so funny I captured this sisterly prank on camera – lol!

This post is picture overload of Anna Kate, but she was having so much fun and I couldn’t pick between her expressions, and why should I have to?  This blog is all about the kids anyway… a little online scrapbook for them.  I’ll try to be a better editor, but sometimes, it just is what it is.  I love my kids!

The only trouble with going out with the big girls is how hot it is for baby Rose.   She slept today even though I kept putting cold water on her forehead.  She was in a bathing suit and the wind was blowing, so she was comfortable, but I still keep a close eye on her when we are outside in this weather!

Noelle’s always coming up with creative ways to play with the norms… she took the buckets over to the dry area of the sidewalk so that she could draw.

Okay, so Anna Kate saw Noelle’s hands were folded, so look what she does:

Isn’t that precious!  Thank goodness Noelle is a great example for her, because she copies everything she does!

Here’s all of our get-up.  I honestly don’t know how I do it, but then again, it’s easier to go out than stay home.  That’s the truth!  I guess because our pj days are my work days/catch-up days from when we were out!

Waking up and ready to go…

I’m so glad I get to capture these special memories on camera.  It helps the girls remember where we went and what we did, and they love reminiscing about our days when we look at the pictures together.  Also, Mike gets to be a part of our days too and that means so much to me because he works so hard to take good care of us.  I’m so camera mom, but so be it…
