Back to ABC's

School time! So far this "school" year, we are reviewing our ABC's. And Clare of course is starting to learn how to write them. Trying to make it as interesting as possible, every letter gets it's own project. Homemade Applesauce, Balloon play, Cat masks, paper Dolls... you get the idea! Fun!

HAM!



Clare putting in a lot of effort!






Don't leave it on her apple slices, but she'll chow down when in string form!
She couldn't get enough apple peel!



Clare and her cat mask!

Trellis Watermelon

Our delicious trellis grown watermelon! It came in at 24 lbs. Heavier than Margaret! :)









Beach Babies!

Aunt Margaret came down for a surprise visit in August. And she just happened to come down during our day trip to the Outer Banks! Thankfully the girls had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the beach! We could have done without the swarm of jellyfish though! BLAH!

Margaret's 1st Birthday!

We do a lot of gardening, so I thought it was fitting to have garden cupcakes for her birthday!


Messiest girl of all!


Clare!


Teresa!


Presents!


Roasting Marshmallows

The girls had gathered sticks for weeks and created a tiny little pile for a fire. Nick figured that he should use it for roasting marshmallows with the girls! Surprisingly, Clare was afraid of the fire!












Why so absent?

I FEEL SO SICK!
