this july has my heart! very very grateful for the amazing weather we're having this week. we're able to play outdoors all day long, creating a happy mama & super happy little girls :)
i've actually really looked forward to mornings this week! we've been hanging on the deck- leaving doors & windows open. eloise has drifted in & out of sleep in my arms, lucy & charlie have chased each other & i've had the rare luxury of hot coffee :)
lucy & i share some deep thoughts regarding minnie, the pool & airplanes in the mornings. she has such a personality! she's decided that if she says "ok" after asking for something, she'll get it; however, her K's sound like T's, so a typical lucy-ism is "lucy walk to park- otay" "daddy take lucy pool- otay" "lucy play on swing- otay" :)
porch-swingin' with my girls. our swing faces the trail behind our house that's filled with native plants & grasses, bikers, dogs, kids, etc. lucy especially loves seeing "tids" [kids] & whenever someone passes by, lucy asks for "moh bike!" "moh tids!" "moh dog!" [moh=more] she has THE sweetest voice you've ever heard.
another perk of playing outside all day is the guaranteed great naps that fill our afternoons :) nothing better than the peace & quiet of home with my sleeping girls.
last night, eloise sat in the bouncer while jon worked on my 5 year wedding anniversary gift [5 years on august 1!!], and lucy & i played with chalk & bubbles. the traditional 5th wedding anniversary gift is wood, so jon surprised me with wood planks that he's turned into 3 beautiful planters for the porch. he measured, cut, built & stained- such a craftsmen!
mid-day swing fest in july- whoda thought?
