Do you like them here or there?

Hazel's current favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham. She is quite possibly the cutest thing ever, when she recites certain excerpts. In her deep, growly voice. "I DON'T like green eggs and HAAAAAM!" And then her shrill, cute, little Hazel voice. "Try them. Try them and you may." We were reading it tonight and she chimed in on each page. So cute. What's just as cute is Clara finds it to be as cute as I do or at the very least funny. Hopefully, I can snag it on video before she gets sick of the book.

Rainy day walk

Eli, Lola, the girls and I went for a walk in the rain. It was a puddle jumping adventure. What can I say, sometimes you have to forget about the mess and just have fun.

Drawing

Recent Clara drawing

Clara told me this was me inside a house during a thunderstorm. I was told I was smiling but I don't know, I kind of feel like the witch in Hansel and Gretel.

Storytime with Grandmom

Is it even possible to fit anymore cuteness onto that chair?

Accessories make the outfit

I can't say I captured this outfit the best but you get the idea. Grandmom Deemer just bought this outfit for Clara and she loved it so much she had to wear it ASAP. Complete with accessories which include a Dr. Seuss watch clipped to her skirt, a lanyard, headband and butterfly clip and of course crazy, messy hair. I always find her accessorizing very amusing. Yes, she wore the complete outfit with all accessories all day. That is, until the watch broke :(

Movin' Out

Of the crib, that is. That's right. I can't say I was entirely ready for it but once Clara moved up to the top bunk Hazel really wanted to move into the bottom. We added a few safety features to the room for our little trouble finder. Then on Friday night she spent her first night in her big girl bunk bed. Are we seriously done with the crib? I officially no longer have babies in the house. It's such a bittersweet moment. I can't believe how time flies. I'm loving the fact that we'll be getting rid of all the baby stuff. I also love watching my girls turn into these adorable little people. At the same time, when it comes to growing up, it really would be nice if they took their time and slowed down.

Happy 4th!

We had a great 4th of July with friends. After an awesome picnic at Elissa's, we headed down the street to watch the parade. The girls had never seen a parade and were pretty fascinated. Clara even stated "I love this parade!" I think, in truth, she loved all the candy that was being thrown at her.
