We headed out to the dump to get some mulch for our yard. You can't tell here, but the girls were laughing so hard because every time Anton would bend down, you could see the top of his bum...all without him knowing! It has been so fun to make our yard "ours". We have been doing quite a bit of stuff to the front yard, but haven't quite tackled the back yet.
Claire is GLUED to my hip. Everywhere I go, she follows. I go upstairs...2 minutes later, she is with me. I tell her I am going up to work out, she is up there in no time. It is so funny. She doesn't ask me to play or do anything, she just wants to be near me. I remember Lilly being similar when she was this age. This is why I think Claire is ready for school. She needs and wants more stimulation and interaction with people. She is such a cutie! Anton and I were leaving town with some friends, and I worried how she would do when I was gone because of how attached she has been...but she was great! It was Lilly who cried. I thought it would be the opposite. Funny little thing!
Lilly had her "Egg Drop" at school. Anton wanted her little box to look cute, so we went and bought a whole bunch of these little springs and glued them on this box. It looked really funny and cute afterward. Her egg didn't survive, but she had fun with it anyway!
Claire finally let me put her hair in sponge rollers!! I thought for sure she would take them out once she got in bed, but she didn't. He hair was in super tight curls to begin with, but later in the day they loosened up and her hair looked SO pretty!! She is a particular little thing and wants things her way, so she was a little iffy on having a change of hair.
Claire's cousin said the other day, "Claire isn't a tomboy anymore, she is a Tomgirl now". It's kind of true. She still loves some boy things, but now prefers to play with girl things. But, her all time favorite is still anything "Cheetah". Anyway, it got hot here, and Lilly was out of summer jammies, so we went to Costco to get some new jammies for her. Claire found these night gowns and was dying to get them. I caved and bought them even though that wasn't what I usually buy. She asked me if she could wear it all night, and "all the next day". I caved again. They are only little once, right?!
Anton's sister and her family came up last minute to visit. They are some of our very favorite visitors (and people!), so we were thrilled when they called to say they were coming up! It was beautiful weather, and a low key weekend. We had to get ready for Anton to be gone for three weeks, so we just stayed around home, and spend most of the weekend outside. Our cul-de-sac seems to be the usual gathering place for all the neighbor kids. So, on Friday night we not only had all the neighbor kids, but their parents...and Nicole and her kids! It was so fun to just enjoy the beautiful evening, chat with friends & family, and have the kids get all their energy out!! In my opinion, there is nothing better than summer nights!
