Other Fun Things Around Here

M has helped me tons in the garden. I am sure L would too, but she is always gone riding her bike. M planted two rows of beans with me (she put all the seeds in the ground), and she helps me pull weeds, and turn the water on and off. She loves to use all the tools, like rakes and hoes. Sometimes she just stands there with me and rubs my back and talks to me while I pull weeds up and down the rows.


This picture is from our first cookout over the fire pit. Here is M eating her first s'more ever. She pulled all kinds of faces because of the mess-the strings of melted marshmallow from her mouth to her hands, and the chocolate squishing out onto her fingers. It was really funny to watch, and I was laughing so hard that she started pulling faces at me too. She only ate about 2/3 of the s'more before she decided that the mess just wasn't worth it.




Here are a few of our neighbors.


Oh, and L turned 5 in June. Hard to believe, I know. I feel like they have both grown tons in the last little while!
