Pics of Noelle doing her thing!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3714\"<\/a>\"IMG_3715\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle had this idea to make a thank you note for Poppa and Rara\u2026 I had to take a picture of it because she did such a great job!  She found these stickers on clearance at Hobby Lobby and asked if we could do this for them, so thoughtful!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been having lots of summer sleepovers!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3702\"<\/a> \"IMG_3845\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This has been the summer of the snow cone machine.  We found a great deal on one, and it came with sugar free syrup, so you know that\u2019s right up our alley! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_3855\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose is into absolutely everything, headbands, necklaces, purses, CFA toys, and especially the mouse on my computer!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3881\"<\/a> \"IMG_3879\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle took this picture of Mike and me at her audition (more on that later)!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0706\"<\/a> \"IMG_0725\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yes we did!  Anyone say free?  I\u2019m in!  Rose loves ketchup almost as much as her Mommy!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0713\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The girls absolutely LOVE dressing up as cows for CFA\u2019s Cow Appreciation Day each July!  They totally get into it and play the part.  In the car on the way home, Noelle asked me if she could have a \u201cMoo-mint?\u201d  I said, \u201cJust a moo-ment!\u201d  Yes, we are that silly!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0715\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Usually I get a 12 pack of nuggets and share with Rose, but since today\u2019s meals (yes, the whole thing!) was free, I got her a kid\u2019s meal.  She loved having her own box.  CFA knows what they are doing, because from now on, Rose is going to want her own meal too!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0736\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike took this picture one night with his phone.  I never want to forget how much the girls enjoy the toy cabinets in the hallway!  Hopefully one day, these cabinets will hold adventures for their children! (if Mike doesn\u2019t talk me into moving, some day!  I\u2019m such a home body, but I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s up for adventure.  We\u2019ll see!)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0746\"<\/a> \"IMG_0747\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After Noelle went to the dentist (her tooth is still just hanging in her mouth, lol), I let her show me around her school play ground for her reward.  They don\u2019t let parents go on the play ground during school hours, so I had never been out there.  She told me all sorts of creative things she and her friends did to make believe play.  It was cute, and she was so proud!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0750\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After naps one day, I let the big girls paint rocks!  They had a lot of fun with that!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0755\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are their rocks and artwork.  I don\u2019t know if you can see it or not b\/c it is upside down, but Noelle painted a heart butterfly on her rock with the word \u201cLove\u201d underneath.  I thought that was pretty creative, and Anna Kate did a great job using lots of colors on her paper.  She is just now getting into drawing and writing, something Noelle really enjoys teaching her about.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0756\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, so the computer at library day was a big hit for baby Rose\u2026 until it was another kid\u2019s turn, lol!  She was obsessed with the keyboard, mouse, and headphones.  That child sat there for 15 minutes straight, enjoying herself to the fullest.  Neither one of her sisters would have done that at her age, I\u2019m sure of that.  So interesting how each kid finds something that is their thing!  Noelle\u2019s was clocks (remember old time bloggers?) and Anna Kate\u2019s was fountains\u2026 among other things.  Noelle and Anna Kate could pick clocks and fountains out anywhere we went.  That may be a little different, but you get the point\u2026 Rose loves computers!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0761\"<\/a> \"IMG_0768\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate at the computer and Noelle at McDonald\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0764\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love this picture!  Noelle is so good at teaching Anna Kate new things, and Anna Kate is a good learner.  She soaks up everything her big sissy tells her.  They are great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
