Remember the Bay City Rollers?
One of my very earliest memories is of that song. Yes, I am old.
Last Saturday everyone was home. That is so rare these days.
So we took advantage of it. Had a fire in the backyard. Made S’mores.
Well Andy and the boys did, I was up bathing and putting to bed a sick little girly
But not before she played in the dirt for a while, notice how when she gets sick she is still out playing, while Blake was on the couch when he had it? Yeah, girls are tougher than boys.
She was fascinated with the fire and got mad when she couldn’t throw sticks on it like the boys
She looks like she wants to kick some butt- she does
She was all glassy eyed with a fever
These two- The other day I mentioned something about Eva’s adoption and Blake said, “Oh yeah, I forgot that Eva is adopted.”
She wants to be a big kid pretty bad, wants to be like her brothers. She is rough. I worry that she won’t have many girl friends because she is so rough.
But then I am thankful that she can hold her own…
Watching her fight and wrestle with Cole is usually pretty funny
I took a break and sat on the hammock, my view
Ok I didn’t mean for that to be a picture of Andy’s Bee-hind. I just liked the fire with the plants.
This weekend my parents are coming up and we are building a deck. I can’t wait. It is so needed. I told Andy we needed it before our annual pumpkin carving party. Usually this party is a neighborhood party but since it is at my house this year, I think I might mix it up a bit. We’ll see. I hate having to chose who to invite to a party, someone always seems to get their feelings hurt. So I usually just don’t have people over.
So… moving on. We started playing with sparklers left over from the 4th. And yes, I had to ask Blake how to do this. I mean I knew I needed to expose it longer, but he told me a few helpful hints.
I got better at it as we went
Blake tried to write his name but I didn’t give him enough time
I hope he was writing this to me…
Baby climbing all over me, better go!

Very cool shots of the sparklers. I just love Blakes comment about forgeting Eva was adopted! Poor little miss, being a sickie. Hope she is feeling better. Being sick anytime is bad, but in the summer it just seems worse!

hey there – let us know about the pumpkin fun – maybe we can make a surprise appearance as there is never an October that goes by without some sadness of missing you all. (like how I just invited ourselves?) Much love to you and your fab family!
