Okay, so it's time to catch-up on what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. After our fun 4th on Friday the 1st we spent the weekend outside. The girls enjoyed the pool and Daddy did some work on the landscaping and other outside projects.
Our flowers are blooming everywhere...some roses
We fed the ducks and they thought they needed more so they headed up into the yard, they can go back and forth under the wire fence in this spot. The girls just love the ducks. Elizabeth says, "Duck, wa-wa" all the time!
Michael took out these huge shrubs in the back
and we replaced them with 3 hydrangeas. Madilynn can't wait for Daddy to spray this stuff on them to turn the blooms blue. I don't think she understands that it won't happen instantly.
On the 4th we had a pretty lazy day, but we did go to Chick-fil-A for lunch and the girls got these red balloons which were very entertaining for a few days!
Elizabeth got a bandaid on her finger and she's showing it to me. I just thought her red shirt and bow were so cute - this is the best picture I could get though.
Before church on Sunday, so sweet!
Our lillies bloomed this week!
We got this Dahlia in a pot for the front walkway
Hydrangea
rose
pink rose
I thought I should show that there's still some snow left on the mountains. This was taken from our driveway to the east, the mountains that are the closest to us.
Elizabeth says, "bubbles" and tries to blow them. This container is empty, but she still had fun pretending for awhile, hey and no mess!
Monday morning we had craft time. Madilynn wanted to make a mask. I got out some paper plates and cut out holes for the eyes then I let her decorate however she wanted. She started out painting the entire thing.
This was Elizabeth's first time with watercolors and she did really well. I had to help guide her to rinse the brush off, but she really enjoyed it!
Here's Madilynn's mask all painted, then we had to let it dry.
After naptime it was time to decorate it...and here's her finished work of art!

Sunday night we got the infant seat out of the box and got the base installed in the car. All three seats fit nicely in the mountaineer and Madilynn can still buckle her own seat belt. We also have the third row if we want to spread them out a little and Madilynn knows how to fold down the seat to get in and out! That's a big help for Mommy!!

Tuesday morning while Madilynn was at school she got this bunny all buckled in and then drug the seat all the way into the kitchen! So I had to get a picture...
saying, "cheese"!
And, here's a video from Monday morning when we were doing crafts at the table. Elizabeth picked out a ladybug sticker and put on her paper and then she says, "Lala - bug" and it's so cute!

Feels good to be all caught up! We've just been enjoying the summer and getting ready for baby sister's arrival. The girls are getting excited -well, Madilynn is anyway. Not sure if Elizabeth knows what's happening. Madilynn is excited to take on the big sister role again and she is constantly telling me all the things she's going to do to help out!
