I know, I know… it’s almost August, but we’ve had quite the busy summer so I’m backtracking a bit to catch up. Because I don’t want to forget it all.
Strawberry picking at a local farm, from which I made a nice supply of freezer jam –
Celebrating our guy for Father’s Day!
I found this super-cool bottle opener, made from a St. Louis Cardinals game bat. Sure beats the one that plays the Mizzou fight song, that I gave him many years ago as a peace-offering, if I remember correctly.
The girls and I also made some fun bag tags, for our traveling man.
The girls got big haircuts, courtesy of Aunt Julie… four inches cut off for C and EIGHT inches for M! We had to talk this one up for awhile with M before she would agree to it.
Before…
Could C look any more like her Daddy here?!
But she’s a curly girl, just like her mama!
Now for M’s turn…
Bye-bye major length!
Another curly girl!
And finally, after!
Some random shots of the ins and outs of our days…
My favorite way to start my day – lying in bed, feeling and seeing Baby Boy wake up with me:
I saw this sticker on the back of a car somewhere while I was out and about it left me with the giggles all. day. long!
This is what happens when we play “let’s fix Mommy’s hair!”
Um, who’s been sleeping in my bed?
M finally graduated to “big kid” toothpaste! Who knew it would take so long for this child to learn to spit?!
The girls had their first movie theatre experience when we took them to see Monsters University. We also spent a fun night at the Muny watching Shrek the musical, with a little helping of goofiness at dinner just before.
A great first month of summer back in the ‘Lou!
Here's Where the Story Begins
