Tidbits from our CRAZY Summer

Our summer was BUSY.  But when we weren’t on vacation, we spent our time swimming, relaxing, and playing.  Here are some of the random photos we snapped…

She also learned to pray this summer!  She LOVES folding her arms when we do it!

These girls LOVE playtime with their daddy!

Maddie is generally a pretty calm, busy baby—Often quietly creating destruction in a corner of the room.  But every once in a while, she decides to be a class clown and steal the show (usually while she’s eating and has the undivided attention of everyone at the dinner table).  She’s actually pretty darn  funny!  Here are a few of those moments:

Madeline, being a crazy person with her corn on the cob…and about a pound of food rubbed into her hair.  We practically have to hose this girl down after every meal!

Our girls LOVE to play dress up!

Maddie will usually point to the dress up box and squeal until we open it for her.  This is ALWAYS the outfit she chooses. :)

She has a wand in her hand about 90% of the day!

And when she’s not holding a wand, she’s talking on the phone and/or pushing her babies in the stroller.  Child, when did you get so BIG?!?!?!?!

Remember how I said she was sneaky?!  Here’s the proof—Example #1:

Here’s another instance at dinnertime where Madeline decided to put on a show for us…She was being so silly!

These kids crack me up!  I loved playing with them all summer long.
