chasing butterflies

vacation week: more beach!

A great family selfie taken by DH!

vacation week: Tuesday

vacation week: monday

For our first day of vacation, we used the free tickets to the Franklin Institute that DH received from his  company.  The planetarium, paper making, brain exhibit, 3d show, heart exhibit, electricity exhibit, circus exhibit, and fire works show all made the day go by super quickly!  Then we stopped by grandma's house.  Day one was a success.

 Learning about combustion, sodium salt, copper salts, and lithium salts making orange, green, and red flames.

photos with daddy

almost forgot about this!

These photos got forgotten due to end of the school year craziness.  How on earth did she already graduate first grade?  Time sure flies. 

 Good buddies.  

 Lovely teacher this year :)

 The little munchkin is going to be in Kindergarten!? 

And, what would we ever do without gomo?

Me and my sweet munchkins.  

Amigos

These cuties had a playdate today.  I am so thankful for the friendships that the munchkins have formed at school. Good families are a blessing.  I hope they remain close buddies for years to come.

details of seven

She's lost her four bottom front teeth, and the dentist said the top two need to be wiggled everyday since she's already seven.  

 She LOVES playing UNO.  She somehow manages to rope me into just "one more game!?" 

 I don't think you can tell from the photos, but she's still in her pj's.  That's another thing she LOVES, hanging out as long as possible wearing her jammies.  I usually have to force her out of them during the summer mornings.

I love this little girl.  She's growing up W A Y too fast.
