Up To...

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, just busy as usual around here. And, just in case you were wondering what we've been up to, I will satisfy your curiosity.

Let's see...
We've been attending a new homeschooling co-op, organizing bedrooms (Elise's in particular), cleaning out and reorganizing linen closets, freecycling un-needed items, visiting rose gardens...








...playing in fountains...


...happy and free...


...snapping snapdragons...

...climbing trees...


...attempting (somewhat unsuccessfully) to pose three girls for a picture...




...climbing more trees...




...striking silly poses from super climbing trees...


....ordering homeschool supplies (we went with Sonlight, Explode the Code, and Singapore Math, just in case you wondered), ordering super cute apron from Etsy with some of my birthday money, visiting grandparents, auntie, uncle, and cousins...






...watching and photographing my nephew relishing his spaghetti...


...having late nights (and early mornings) with my 3 princesses, taking them on outings despite the somewhat crankiness...


....taking pictures of my nephew in front of an awesome red caboose door...






...saying "yes" when Elise asks for a pony ride, and then spending the next 10 minutes talking her into getting up onto it!...


(my niece did not have that problem)


...loving on those squishy cheeks...




...watching my daughter make new friends...

...running into blog friends...


...enjoying time spent with my sister and family...






...being silly...






...dyeing my hair twice in about 24 hours, washing several loads of laundry, driving home, unpacking, opening packages of homeschooling materials, wearing my adorable new apron, meeting friends at the splash park, watching Lily and Leah stand around while the other kids splash around them...




...until they finally start getting into it...






...getting Lily's Keens clean...

...seeing this little girl thoroughly enjoy herself...






...watching Elise run laps around the splash area...


...having lunch in the very same Chipotle where I once threw up while I was pregnant with Elise, actually it was the first of many places that I threw up while I was pregnant with her (and I'm sure you really wanted to know all of that)...

...photographing the cat...



...and one thoroughly spent princess!




The End.

It was SO fun to run into you... we will have to PLAN to get together next time. :)

I'm guessing that the splash park isn't near here is it?! Wondering if there is anything fun in Jtown?

I love the apron. I just ordered an apron for myself and cannot wait until it arrives!
