I must say I was pretty impressed.  

I mean anyone can pour sand into a frisbee…  

but I have doubts that I could make it through this part… 

I honestly had doubts she could make it through this part…  

I should have known better.  

The girls helping grandpa with morning chores on Labor Day weekend.

There is nothing cuter than the bitty ones lifting buckets of water and cans of cat food and carrying them out to the old shed…still wearing jammies, boots, and old sweatshirts (in Ellie’s case). Miss K was a little more fashionable…her coat wasn’t 8 sizes too big.  

a sign of a great late summer day…

All i wanted was one picture of them watching tv together.

Proof that they like each other. 

I’m glad i got it before he realized i was there.

He likes her….but he can’t take his eyes off his mama.

Its so good for my ego. 

One night Ellie called us all over to the couch and made us take turns sitting down to have our teeth checked. She even accounted for all the details, right down to the little bib you put on.

I thought, what a fun thing to play… 

that is, until I saw her “dentist tools.” 

It was only then i got a little concerned.

I think Evan just thought it was ridiculous,

and daddy just got a fist in his mouth.

We only had one unwilling participant out of the whole bunch.  Check out the closed lips on this one. What a stinker.
