What we've been up to this weekend

 We spent way too much time waiting around Banfield dropping up / picking up poor Brie for her dental cleaning turned into tooth extraction.  Poor Brie!

We "slept in" for the cure.  (Insert laughter here.  Haley is up and at 'em by 6:15 every day.

 Finally, Daddy was once again victorious in the battle of the naps with Haley.  It only took 64 minutes!

Swinging

 Have we mentioned that Stephie learned how to pump her legs on the swing?

Yeah baby.

 Another perfect summer day.

Judah's birthday party

The party was a bit delayed due to a threat of thunderstorms...

...but then it was party time!

As you can tell, the girls had a lot of fun.

Perfect party for a hot summer day.

Summer Thursdays

 Summer brings a whole new routine for various days of the week.  On Thursdays the girls both go to their respective camps (after again zoning out on the boob tube waiting for Stephie's ride)...

...then meet up at a friend's house for lunch...

 ...and usually get outside (today was gorgeous!)

Finally, Stephie has swim lessons in the afternoon.  Check out that back float!

Ho hum.

 Can Wednesdays still be blah even if it's summer vacation?

 Zoned out waiting for Stephie's ride to school.

 Haley escaped to Kids Town.  She loves to give kisses to everyone lately.

 Time to go pick up Stephie!

Playing with the animals

While Stephie's at camp or school...

...Haley needs to find ways to pass time time.  Like have a snack...

...scale things...

...go for a walk...

...and more scaling.

"Hi, chicken!  Will you play with me?"

"Great!"

Tiny Toes

 Big girl Haley went to her first official ballet class today!

 The tights didn't last one and the shoes were too big, but otherwise it was a surprising success.

Stephie told me, "Look, I'll stand in first position for this picture!"  Gigi sent Stephie this adorable dress; Haley has it too and also surprisingly actually wore hers later in the day.  Thanks, Gigi!  A refreshing change from the pink that plagues our house.
