setting our ladybugs free! this was the second year we've raised ladybugs, and prior to that, we grew caterpillars. it's such a neat activity & eloise, especially, is super into the metamorphoses that takes place right before our eyes! eloise & lucy were so excited to find a ladybug in our garden the following morning- it's hard to say goodbye to your babies ;)

strawberry picking day with our favorites! we raced home to make fresh strawberry shortcakes right after :)

loving every one of these mild-temp days that are still comfortable enough to play on the deck in the afternoons-

errands in curlers- must be recital picture day! next year, we'll have 3 girls in costumes! not sure how i'll do it because between lucy & eloise we have 5 dances this year & i feel slightly in over my head ;)

ready for the weekend! the big girls have big plans for a backyard campout with daddy!

wrapping up preschool with lucy's name progression from september 'til may- monday is her last day before she's officially a kinder!

xoxo,
