Still Here!

Yes, I know. It has been a LONG while since I have been in blog land! There are so many reasons for my hiatus and honestly (given that there is actually someone who reads this) most would be quite boring to you.

For me personally, this has unexpectedly been a very painful and emotional summer. I feel like I have so much to say and not one clue how to put it all into words. So, I will turn the attention elsewhere....kids!

As for the children's summer, I am afraid it has been a bit boring, but I can confidently say that they get an A+ in perfecting their pretend play skills!

Here are some of our summer pics........

I don't know that ANY of this ice cream made it in her mouth!

Beach Fun!

So, these last three pictures are a perfect example of the extreme difference in personalities of my children. When given a large piece of butcher paper, colored shaving cream and a brush (or spatula that Aidan requested) this is what happens. You have Aidan, who paints once color at a time ON THE PAPER. No messes, no paint anywhere but the PAPER. Then, there is sweet Emma. Given all the same materials, she decides to ditch them ALL and make her body the canvas! She had a BLAST. Until clean up time that is!
