so much to say...

I always wonder when I've been away from my beloved blog, and then come back a week later where I should start in my thought process. Should I start right where I left off and work up to today, or just say screw it and start from today and work back in thoughts? Yeah, I'm more of a screw it type of person so we are going to start with today. So... here we go, a weeks worth of randomness...

It must be summer since this little tush is in a swim suit

We had our first movie night outside. The kiddos loved it. They watched two Clifford the big red dog shows on VHS and one Rollie Pol lie Ollie. It was such a perfect way to get them to mellow out after a long day in the sun.

What's up ice cream face?

the sun has been such a wonderful treat. to celebrate we walked to the local coffee shop with great friends. Both girls have such great style.

And Molly was happy to have her sister back

Speaking of Molls she is the newest member of the family to LOVE playing in the bathroom sink. She would spend all day in there if I would let her.

Molly is finally old enough to play in the back yard. thankfully she prefers the water table. Its nice to know where she is most of the time.

to her it is probably just a big bathroom sick.

Colin stopped "working" long enough to pose for a picture

And here he is "working"

the sad part of playing in the back yard...poor Moll's

***************************************************************

Saturday was such a fun day! After the Farmers Market we headed of to the local fire station for their open house. the kids had so much fun. those fire folks know how to put on a good show!

Both kids sat in a big red ladder truck

Colin loved the firefighter challenge

And the smoke house

But the best part was when the helicopter came in and landed.

here is Colin standing at the back

And Emilie in the pilots seat. she loved it. she tells everyone that she is going to be a helicopter pilot when she grows up. thats my girl!!

and in the back

Em's turn to do the challenge

My attempt to get a picture of all three kiddos together

Em is getting braver everyday. Hopefully by the end of summer we will have her back on her big girl bike.

Yeah summer and fresh veggies delivered every Friday morning! this week its veggies and clams!!

So yummy

so there is is. A lot of pictures and a lot of fun was had by all. We did celebrate fathers day and it was also a lot fun. we had Doug's dad and mom down for breakfast. then...Poor Doug got sick and he is still trying to fight it off.
