Happy 4th of July

Miss Eve

I wanted to do a 4th of July mother/daughter mani/pedi, but this little girl decided she’d rather do some tree climbing/pruning and stuffy fort building. I guess I can’t argue with those priorities.

The sun just peeked out from behind the clouds! Hopefully it will clear up quickly so we can see some awesome fireworks tonight.

Happy Birthday America!

Kid quotes

The funny kid quotes are fewer and farther between as the kids get older, but I still find myself writing them down sometimes.  Here are a few I’ve collected over the past few months.

“Eve, I don’t know what I’d do without you.  You’re not only a great sister, you’re a great person to have around.” said Lex to Eve. 11/9/14

“I think I just invented a gravity controlled water bomb!” said Lex. 5/19/15

“At the moment I’m narrating a conversation in my head between Google map software and a Google satellite,” Lex told me at bedtime one night.  6/30/15

Me: “Eve, why are you holding the bowl in your arms?”
Eve: “I’m doing it the old fashioned way, like before they had counters.” – 7/3/15
