Daddy had to go into work this morning, so we took a trip to the park.  It was so humid, but we had fun playing and swinging!


Natalie thinks she's a big girl who can walk/climb up the slides.  She's crazy.

August 30

Sweet sisters.  Love these two so much!

August 29

We took a walk to the playground after dinner tonight.  These two loved going down the slide many many times.



She loved it!  I think she kind of looks like a Cabbage Patch doll in this picture!

Dinner at the pool tonight. #natalieclaire

Someone was a little bit of a crankpot tonight.


After bath tonight and after Natalie went to sleep, Caitlin and I took a walk around the neighborhood. She found a flower that looked similar to the flower on her jammies so of course we had to take a picture!

August 27

Some serious bedhead this morning.


More time spent reading.


Shaking her finger to the part of "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" that says "Mama called the doctor and the doctor said "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

August 26

Reading her "learn to tell time" book.


Playing with the little people house.

August 25

Caitlin started her first day as a top cubby in PreK-2 today!  I can't believe this is her last year of preschool.  She had a great day today!


Natalie pulled a towel out of the towel drawer in the kitchen and walked around trying to wear it on her head tonight.  Silly girl.

August 24

We celebrated Allison at her bridal shower today.  Laura was so sweet with the girls and even took the time to read Fancy Nancy to them!


The flower girls!


3 out of the 4 cousins - the girls!

August 23

We met the Mooneys at Aunt Alexis's company picnic, and these two were so excited to see each other!


Getting ready to go into the photo booth.


We went to their house after, and Natalie enjoyed reminiscing about the time she spent playing on the activity mat.

August 22

Such a mess at dinner tonight.


So incredibly happy to be at Grandmom and Granddad's house!

August 21

The girls' school was closed today, so because I was sick, Ryan ended up staying home with them.  The original plan was for me to stay home, but thankfully, he was able to be at home with them.  While I was still recovering, Ryan took them to the zoo and sent me this picture of Natalie in the turtle shell.


Cutie back from the zoo in her new Eagles shirt.  Clearly, Ryan got her dressed this morning.


Taking selfies... She was so not impressed.

August 20

No pictures today... I caught the dreaded hand foot and mouth from Natalie.  It was awful.  Thankfully, I was feeling a little better within about 24 hours.

August 19

Happy birthday, Aunt Alexis!!  We love you!!!

Bringing me my shoes tonight because she wanted to go for a walk.


Daddy swinging Caitlin all around.


Natalie even had to get in on the action.

Again with the climbing.


This kid talks non stop.


Not sure what she's doing, but thought it was a cute little pose.

August 17

More bubbles on the deck tonight.


So serious.

August 16

Poor kid got hit with hand foot and mouth again this weekend. We thought that was cause for a little Elmo screen time.


The Clawsons came to visit tonight, and Caitlin and Logan had so much fun playing together. Love these cuties!

August 15

This kid. Sometimes I just have no words.  She dressed herself like this tonight.


Going down the slide at the playground. She's smiling like that because I had to literally hold her at the top to get a picture.

August 14

Pretty princess.  She dressed and accessorized all by herself!


Just walking around the playroom.

August 13

She pulled out all my Rubbermaid containers and then proceeded to climb into to cabinet.  I couldn't resist taking a picture of it (of course).


Pure chaos in Caitlin's bed tonight.

August 12

Sickie laying on the couch (even though she was starting to feel better).


More in the naked Natalie series.  Just chillin' on her house stoop.

August 11

2 sickies waiting for their doctors' appointment.  Caitlin had strep, and we confirmed that Natalie had hand foot and mouth.


Natalie found her blanket and wanted to be wrapped up in it. I think it makes her look so big!

August 10

Just playing under the table on the deck.  No big deal.


Sisters!  In addition to hand foot and mouth, Natalie was also fighting a yeast diaper rash, so we let her walk around naked on Grandmom and Granddad's deck.  She rewarded us for letting her do this by peeing and pooping (twice) on the deck!  Crazy girl.


Natalie tried one of Grandmom's yellow tomatoes from her "garden".  She wasn't a big fan.
