Finishing up August

Watching this girl come home from her from her first day of school. It was so much fun to talk with her-

It’s our traditional Papa Murphy’s Cookie Dough cookies for after school the first day-

Brooklyn is a picky eater – it is just built in. We don’t cater and there are quite a few nights that she goes hungry since she won’t eat what is made. This summer we have seen a HUGE shift in her eating. She has tried everything she is given and likes most of it. It has been a wonderful payoff. However, I still have a problem getting her to eat fruits and some veggies. Really? It is so weird. We still offer every time. Anyway, the other week Abi and I were eating watermelon and Brookie pipes in, “Mom, I am bigger now so I can eat watermelon.” And she ate and ate and ate watermelon. I had to document it because I was so shocked! Abi was funny and wanted to feed her.

Abi wanted to put her love notes from lunch on her board. It made me feel like a million bucks!

Ahh- the sight of your little one playing so cutely on her own… and the sight of her reading a book in the middle of the library… makes your heart melt

Abi was the star student last week because it was her birthday. This was a poster her class wrote about her. I thought it was all good until the last sentence… we don’t golf. Nor have ever golfed… don’t know where that came from.

I got into trouble with my girl friend who sells fabric flowers and elastics for a business. It was so much fun going to her home and picking all these fun frills out. I crafted for about four hours that night. I think we have every color of the rainbow, but you can never have enough options… All the girls will be decked out, always.
