Summer Memories

Well, it's supposed to be 90 degrees today. For an area that hasn't seen much higher than the high 70's all summer, this is a big deal. For someone entering her third trimester... this is NOT fun. I think when Noelle jumps around in the sprinkler, this afternoon, I will be sitting in my lawn chair right in the middle of the spray. :)

Anyway, thought I'd upload some pics of things that have been going on this summer. We painted Noelle's room purple... and amazingly it wasn't as garish as I thought it might be. Noelle had a play date with her friend, Lilly, yesterday. Then last night a group of us went to a local park that had a spray area for the kids. Way cool! When we got home, Daddy got out the telescope and showed Noelle the full moon up close. Wow!

Noelle insisted on dressing for dinner one night. When I handed her the plate she said "Thank you, royal chef." Grrr!

Is this what they mean by "dog days of summer"? Gizmo is so spoiled his has his own furniture now. So what if he had to steal it from Noelle to get it.

Our big helper. Note to self - never hand her a bristled brush again!

Can't wait for her 'big girl' bed to arrive!

Noelle insisted on dressing up for her play date with Lilly. Gotta love that tiara!


Mmm... Cathy brought chocolate cupcakes to the splash park. Should have seen her after the last bite. ;)

Eagerly awaiting the fountains that pop up out of the ground. What a neat way to spend a hot summer evening.
