HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!!!

Buddies...

...everyone! (most of the time, lol)Balance!

It's a great castle!!!

Birthday cupcakes, mmmm!

We made crowns from paper plates!

Then we did face painting!

A quiet day with just two...

Thursdays and Fridays I sometimes only have one or two kids, so this day it was just Landon. They were painting "green frogs" aren't they cute!

Then they fingerpainted with green!

When we went outside, I had Catriona collect 5 flowers, 5 leaves, 5 sticks and 5 pebbles, she loved hunting for these things and it kept her busy. Then when we came in she made a wonderful collage of them!

Landon was enjoying working on his hand and eye coordination with beading wooden beads onto a pipe cleaner, which is much sturdier than string! What a ham, so cute! :)

Random daycare fun!

"Hmm, this is interesting" :)

Monkey see, monkey do? :)
Sweet.
Follow the leader!
Daycare love :)
She said she was making a waterfall...

This little hole in the ground has turned into many things since this day! And they are really loving making cakes and pies and soups from it!

A wonderful visit from my cousins!!!

My younger cousin Tammy and I at the beach! It was so much fun having them here, I only wished they lived closer :(

Catriona digging in the sand with a bucket and shovel she found :)
Catriona loooved her cousin Tammy! she bonded with her quickly!

That's Frankie! What a sweetie!
I'm sure I'll be seeing them again soon :)

Caught in the act :)

I finally got a picture of Gabriella sucking her thumb! How cute! My oldest, Nicole sucked her thumb too, until about age 11 :)

Precious...

A day in the fun at Nature's Nest...

Natalie playing with the baby...she is so gentle and sweet with her!

Catriona joining in...
We had colored 4 trays of ice cubes with food coloring and put them in the pool for a refreshing experiment! They melted WAY too fast! :)

Pretty girl...she's growing so fast...

Nature's Nest in July!

Stamping with shells...

So sweet...Natalie is such a caretaker.

Fun in the sun on a hot July day...

Look how busy they are playing...

Aww, just adorable!

Aww, I think they're bonding :)

Homemade juice pops are the best in the summer heat!This summer has been a lot of fun with the kids...we're just trying to relax, make some nice memories and enjoy the sun and stay cool when it heats up too much!
