A little night music
An impromptu jam session, complete with a cat-faced piano and tinker bell costume.

In an old house in Paris
The girls are on a kick for Madeline and our local library indulged them last week with a Madeline reading hour and a craft. The hat is really pretty clever (all paper plates/bowls) and the girls had a blast painting.

Happy 4th, this time with fireworks
The fireworks were rescheduled for Tuesday evening. A school night for both girls. Jeneric was not keen to attend (despite zealous enthusiasm Monday evening) because she feared another tornado warning. So we did what any good parents would do.
We went.
A few minutes early, we pulled up some lawn and had a little snack (juice boxes and pringles - what a treat!).

Happy 4th!
We celebrated by doing at least a dozen puzzles. The girls tag-teamed to complete this 100-piece Hello Kitty puzzle.
We made fudgesicles before heading out for fireworks.
We drove about as far as main street before the sirens blared. Yes, a tornado warning at 9:30 pm or so on the 4th of July. We turned around and hit the basement.
Toddler Wily took it all in stride.
But Jeneric is the youngest in a long line of worriers (Great Grandma Z would be proud) and spent most of the time curled up in Jenni's lap.
She was not at all amused by this picture and also informed us that tornado warnings are not a time for pretend, make-believe, or fun.

Been a while!
Our apologies for the radio silence. Life gets a little chaotic when your kitchen is completely torn up and you have to vacate the dining room (so the floor can get redone to match the kitchen - of course!). The girls have helped:
And they're taking an interest in other household activities - especially gardening.
We'll try to ramp up to our regular posting schedule. Until then, a bonus photo that cracks me up:

Let's go fly a kite
Or, if the wind isn't really happening, we can run around for a while, eat a picnic lunch, and call it a day.
