last days of summer

and this is how we spent our last day of abbie's summer vacation- not too silly!

love

molly is sure going to miss abbie when she is in school!

can you tell they're sisters???

fairy princess bed

abbie got a fairy princess canopy for her bed
her sisters love it too- here they are waking abbie up her first morning in the new setup

you can see that abbie really isn't awake yet- but her sisters sure are!

pretty braids

abbie wanted french braids one day- she has such pretty hair!

and then she wanted me to take a picture of her whole outfit...doesn't she look great?

helicopter

abbie proudly shows her helicopter drawing in the chalk book that aunt arline sent from the eric carle museum

i'm not really sure how she even knew how to draw a helicopter...but it came out great!

my blankie

for some reason one night abbie wanted to cuddle up with her blankie this way- and i found her an hour later with it still wrapped around her head- too much!

fun in the playroom

on a hot summer day the basement playroom is the place to be.
here's sophie crawling through the tube

and abbie

and molly

abbie wanted to take a picture with the camera

sophie loves the motorized motorcycles and rides them by herself- doesn't she really look like a biker babe in this shot?

and this one too?

and it's so much more fun to push a car than ride it!
