Children's Museum trip

 First, Stephie did a great job playing her most recent piano pieces.

 Next, off to the museum! (before ballet class)

 What a great time for everyone!

Puzzling

Stephie attempted to do a puzzle without looking...

 ...and Haley pretended to be a dog.

 Stephie colored pictures...

 ...and Haley wrecked them.

 We are not amused.

Keeping cool

 It is WAY too hot to go outside.  Better to climb like a monkey indoors.

Solo dance party.

 BEEP.

 Hmmm...this doesn't look very organized.

Great day to cool down at the pool.

 Little Mermaid ballerina!

Happy 4th of July!

First a few recent videos: Stephie reading:

Haley dancing:

 The Hinsdale parade was at 10am (as opposed to Glen Ellyn's noon one), so we wound up there to try to escape as much of the heat as possible.

It was still pretty hot.

 WW2 vets:

 Hooray!  Happy 4th everyone!

Random recap

 It's been a busy week!  Haley had Tiny Toes...

...and friends over  for coloring and dotters.

 Stephie waited for her ride to camp.

 Haley enjoyed a snack waiting to pick her up...

 ...and did even more dotters...

...while Stephie was at swimming.  Whew!

Library books

Wow it's hot. Good thing the library has power. Caillou for Stephie of course.


And Dora for Haley.


J&J still have no power. Group dinner...


... And pajama party!!!

Doing what they do best

A new book for Stephie (learning about the United States)...

 ...and stealing electronics for Haley...

 Tozzle, of course.

 Both great activities to pass the time while dinner is cooking.
