Surfer girl

My mom bought this swim suit ( i guess you could call it that) for Joaquin a few years ago.  He never got to use it, because he was too big but it looks like it fits Camila just right.  So Ocean City, here we come!

she looks kind of like a sumo baby here

please, no more pictures!

she just wants to grab the camera from you ALL THE TIME. It is so hard to get a good picture of her because she is always reaching out and yelling for the camera

wow, how do i even walk in this thing?

and once again, still not so sure about the swim suit.  But I will tell you, as soon as I took it off of her she wanted to put it right back on.  Crazy girl

Pinterest Fridays

This summer we are going to try to have a Pinterest Friday every week.  This week we made sidewalk “paint” with water, cornstarch, and food coloring.  The kids had lots of fun (and got a little messy in the process). 

Yea for messy hands.  Some of the kids did get a little crazy with the food coloring.  But I'm sure it will all wash off before school starts in August.  :)

 

Puddle Jumpers

We decided to go for a little walk around the neighborhood after a nice, long morning rain.  I figured what a great time to try out the "new" rain boots I found for the kids at Goodwill

Camila having a little trouble figuring out how to walk in the boots

ok, now I think she has it down

looking at worms

hmmmm, now what do I do?

always a lady, she must hike her skirt up so it doesn't get wet

and once again wanting to hold the camera

waving bye to the neighbors

Marco with his makeshift rain boots (they were actually snow boots) and his bag full of nature treasures

This and That

Camila and her good friend Sammy.  He lives next door and I think they are going to be good buddies as they get older

I tried to get a picture of her carrying her purse, but then she got distracted by the tv

my cute little bow head.  We were trying to show Camila how fun it was to have bows in our hair and not rip them out

This was ALL his idea, I swear

chasing the girl, trying to put a bow in her hair

 

mesmerized by the boy with the colorful bows

End of year awards/program

Joaquin after his end of the year program. 

Here he is pointing to one of his artworks

Marco at his "awards" ceremony. Each kid got to sit in the special chair and received a booklet of work they had completed throughout the year. 

Marco pointing to one of his favorite drawings of himself

Smiley girl and guns

I thought this was a cute one of her

And then this one just looks pitiful!

Marco getting ready to assemble his marshmellow gun

 

And success!  The final product actually works

How do you like them apples?

oh yeah, she loves apples

Here she is trying to run away from someone "real" fast.  I'm guessing it is either M or J chasing her

a little yard work never hurt nobody
