Jeepers

It all started with this... 

the girls were playing outside and I decided to clean out the baby pool. The weather over the weekend was fabulous (in the 70's) and we missed it because we were so busy with a million things to do. We didn't get a chance to enjoy it at all. So today, I thought I would pull out the pool and get it cleaned up for future use...

This immediately caught the girls attention and soon it became this...

They got excited... maybe a little too much. 

And stripped down and jumped in.

And then the fun began...

Milla screamed, "Jeepers Mom, it is cold!" Haha I couldn't help but laugh and feel a little sorry for her. So I got their swimsuits out and added a couple of hot bucket of water to the pool.

Belle didn't like the swimsuit idea and stripped back down to nothing. She didn't seem to mind...

They even had fun outside the pool...

Good thing this one wasn't in focus. She might kill me in a few years.

Berries

So Belle and I started to pick some cherries (aka berries) off of our tree. Belle really got into it.

 We picked more than we could hold. So Belle decided she need a bucket.

We picked a few more... and then we got to the ones we couldn't reach.

 We called in reinforcements!

We didn't need him for long. Belle wanted to do all of the work.

And she did.

He did come in handy, holding the bucket and all....

Belle picked and picked. It didn't matter what color... red, green, brown. 

No berry was left behind.

It was hard work, but she did it!

Where was Milla through all of this...?

Secretly picking a different kind of fruit....

Pretty Little Dresses for Pretty Little Girls

My fabulous Aunt Dianne made these Easter dresses for my girls. We took them to get professional pictures made with their cousins, but Belle through the most embarrassing fit and we didn't get any pictures of them in their dresses. So I took some of my own and here is the best that I could do....

So I painted my laundry room...

Belle thought I missed a spot...

or two. 

 

Luckily, she fixed it while I was away.  

Thank goodness....
