Hoofs

 Miss Belle loves shoes on her hands and I had to document it somewhere. She is also a big fan of bike helmets. I love watching her discover new things. That's been so fun about having 3 kids. We get to watch all the discovering again. She makes me well up with tears over how happy I am she is in our family. She gets lots of Lola love, that's for sure.

 She also really like to climb up slides and ladders and she sends herself flying down the slide. I'm the parent there watching but not intervening. She's a pint size little thing and people constantly ask me if she is a year yet. She also likes to get in the pool and dunk her head under.

 It started with the outfit Chloe chose to wear that day. And then the sky was a perfect color, and then I decided we should scramble some other outfits together, get everyone dressed and cute, and...head out for a summer photo shoot.
And could the pictures be any cuter?

I have a photo of some soccer kids that is reminiscent of this top photo.

Little Blue finished her 3 season of soccer. 

 ...and mixed throughout are pictures of a little boy in love... with his friend and summer!

This year has flown by...

Chloe finished Kindergarten. 

She learned how to read very very well this year.

She can make number sentences and solve number sentences.

She learned about volcanoes and

rainforest animals.

She had short hair and it grew back to her pretty curls.

She took soccer, twice, dance once, and is starting baseball.

She is a good helper and good friend to others.

 

undies hat

So, Lola just wanders around the house a lot. Today, I saw her out of the corner of my eye with EZ's undies on her head. I tried to grab the camera fast enough. So here is what took place in about 5 minutes.

#1 By the time I got to her she was taking it off.

#2 Once it was off she thought it was better to have it on so she put it back on! 

 #3 Pause for a photo.

#4 I think she thought the shorts would be a good addition. 

 #5 But then the shorts fouled up an already good thing.

 #6 So then she just decided to go straight for the shorts.

#7 Love those legs and that skirt. Could squeeze her forever.

 #8 Back to the undies. At this point she knew she was being funny.

 #9 and the shorts were not so funny.

 #10 But once they were on they were harder to get off. So she settled for just holding the undies.

 #11 Back to the stairs.

 #12 Maybe I should come for some help.

 #13 She firmly told me "no" when I tired to help and that was followed with a firm "mine!"

 #14 then back up the stairs to start going back down the stairs.

 And now she is walking around with shoes on her hands...her hooves. But more of that for later.
