Summertime

We couldn't wait any longer, so we busted into one of our many watermelons.

We grabbed the biggest one, but apparently it wasn't quite ripe yet. Or maybe I'm growing those white-fleshed watermelons. not sure, either way

Tasted good though!

Even Brian's dog agreed

Dancing girl

She was so happy to be allowed out of the house with "make-up" on. Look at how pretty she is

The dance was at the Conference Center during the Environmental Expo. The "stage" was just a clearing between booths. It was crowded but it all worked out.
Here's Myah waiting to go on.

During their preformance. All the girls got a serious case of the GIGGLES!

Like I said it was the Environmental Expo, so there were snakes there. She was obsessed with holding the little snake, but then she would wimp out. We made it all the way back to the car and were buckling in, and she started begging "Please Mom, I really know I can do it if we just go back one time. I promise I'll do it!" So of course we went back and she was very brave and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Look at my snake handler, I'm so proud of her

Myah's New Talent

ShE can cross her eyes! You don't know how hard she worked to achieve this. Apparently it's a high priority for a 4 year old.










But she can also look so sweet and pretty

Shiver Me Timbers

It's a pirate invasion!











Billy Bowlegs has captured the town, and we were lucky enough to witness the old-timey skirmish

Aevyn was being camera-shy...

Myah getting ready to watch the pirate fireworks

Eating popcorn!

You Wouldn't Know It From the Pictures...

...but we were attending the Thursday Night Concert in the Park.
The girls focussed neither on the concert or the park. It was all about the beach and mugging for the camera. Which is sort of weird, since we are always near the beach or a camera.


The music must have inspired Myah to hop and skip, because I happened to catch her mid-leap.

It started sprinkling and a double-rainbow came out. Only one rainbow showed up- I guess you can't get everything, all the time.

Myah being a wackadoodle. Go figure.

Last Day of Preschool

I can't believe it's been a year already. It seems like just last week I was posting about both of their first days of school.
It was a Hawaiian theme pizza party today. Myah told me that she was going to dress like a Hawaiian, and then Aevyn told me she was going to dress as a "Medium-waiian!" Maybe it's one of those things that you had to be there for, but I thought it was hilarious.

After the pizza, junk food, hula lessons, and then cupcakes- it was time for swimming! It is the YMCA you know.

The girls love Miss Reba and Miss Reba loves them. Some other preschool kid loved Miss Reba enough to make her that hat!

For some reason, Aevyn was never put in the swim diaper I sent with her. So she had quite a substantial bodunkadunk going on!

Their head teacher, Miss Jennifer

Now it's time to have a Happy Summer!
