Moble Monday

Our past week in instagrams ... (from left to right, top to bottom) ready to go salads, Juliet helping me with Toads On Toast (funny recipe from a favorite book) for breakfast, first day of VBS (Vi had to pose just like Sissy), Violet desperately wanting to join in, Juliet showing off freshly painted nails, girls in the tub, Vi and I, sleeping Juliet, finishing up Ramona The Brave, napping in my bed, reading with Mitchell and (in the middle) a quote that is, well ME!

 

And ... Juliet guarding her chocolate milk and cheddar bunnies with her life, sleepy Juliet, Vi heading in to pick up Juliet from VBS, both girls clinging to me, Mitchell and Juliet being OH so careful carrying their popcorn into the movies, Despicable Me with the big and little kids (interesting to say the least), new hair cut, last day at VBS ended up being a carnival, cotton candy and ice drinks, library time (returning Ramona The Brave), Juliet with her newest book (Ramona The Pest), Violet thinks she like chapter books too, Juliet picking out a new (vs borrowed) chapter book, the girls enjoying their freeze pops and gorgeous weather AND the girls enjoying their Daddy.

 

These Two & Their Posing

I swear, I only asked them to stop moving (which is always a joke) so I could take their picture real quick before we went outside since it's not every day they're wearing matching swimsuits AND sunglasses.  Yep ... we're in trouble.

Wrap Up Wednesday

Wrapping up another week in photos, starting with Juliet's favorite place on earth.  The library ...

 

Where the girls officially signed up for the summer reading program...

 

 

Juliet did some painting...

 

 

And some big girl swinging ...

 

 

I did one self portrait (we still have no idea where to hang this mirror) ...

 

 

Violet still isn't wearing much clothing.  Whether it be post bath ...

 

 

Or mid playdate (while shamelessly stealing her besties snack)

 

 

She did manage to remain dressed while chasing him around the playground though ...

 

 

And a few of Juliet and HER bestie ...

 

 

 

And swinging, again ...

 

 

 

Lots of it ...

 

 

 

I still think it's a little nuts but for the record, I've been asked at least three times this month if the girls are twins.  Matching outfits doesn't help I suppose.

 

 

 

And that's a wrap!

Mobile Monday

Our past week in instagrams.  Without explanation (cause there's far too many).  If you want to follow us on instagrams ... DO IT at lizzieconant.

 



Wrap Up Wednesday

Wrapping up another week.  Nothing much to report (other than Juliet's rad princess party which is already up on the family blog).  The girls spent a lot of time out in the backyard.  Dancing around ...

And playing in the pool ...
 

 

We went miniature golfing with Uncle Gabe and Aunt Maria who drove in from Chicago for the weekend.  The girls had so much fun with them ... as seen on the family blog.  PS sorry for all the links.  Super nerdy I know.

 

And look out!  I got in the frame for once (thanks to Chris).  Sigh.  Those legs need to see more daylight.
 

 

And you know.  Golfing.  This sometimes happens right?

 

 

And lastly, some interesting moments brought to you by Juliet.  Hate to disappoint, but not all her dancing pictures are whimsical and dreamy ...

 

 

That's a wrap!

A Visit From Chicago

The only hard thing about having family visit, is when they leave and the house feels sorta empty again.  The time always flies by way too fast.  Don't think the girls know how lucky they are to have their Aunt and Uncle live within driving distance ... they had so much fun this weekend.

 

 

Oh Violet ...

 

 

Love you guys!  Thanks again for making the drive.  These kids adore you.

Mobile Monday

Our past week in instagrams ... a quote (that I couldn't have written better myself), fun times during a tornado warning in the storm shelter, beautiful sunset the following evening, ice cream cones, and loads of time spent chalking outdoors.

 

More chalking, girls movie and popcorn night (Daddy was flying), Aunt Maria and Uncle Gabe visit from Chicago, family mini golf, car rides, walking downtown with Aunt Maria, and Juliet sleeping soundly minutes before her birthday party guest arrive (in the adorable dress/matching Merida doll Aunt Maria and Uncle Gabe brought her).

 

 

Party time (happy fourth birthday Juliet), posing with her pretty hair Aunt Maria curled for her, cruisin' on her new big girl bike and lastly lounging while watching the girls swim (it's a hard job but someones got to do it).
