Catching Up...

I have hardly picked up my camera in two weeks. It has been HOT. We’ve made some progress with Mallory’s sleep issues. My first {almost} two weeks back to work have been a whirlwind of long days, lots of meetings, and plenty of teacher trainings.
But, we have managed to sneak in a little bit of fun as we try to hang on to summer as tight as we can.

Once we settle into our back-to-school routine, I hope to have more of the girls’ cuteness to share…a little more regularly I hope. Without further ado, here are a few of the more recent pictures from my camera {in no particular order and with just a bit of commentary}.

At Mingo Point after the golf tournament a few weeks ago...Mallory, Grandmom, and Uncle Grange...
 Anna Claire and Walter...
These are the only two pics I got! Can't believe that! I missed a great photo when Mallory and Brennan got up on stage with Grandmom to thank everyone.


Hope's princess birthday party...Mallory remained in full princess regalia the entire party {dress, shoes, tiara}.
 Having make-up applied...
 Anna Claire's freshly polished nails...
 Decorating tiaras...

Taking a swing at the pinata...Mallory uses two hands...
 Anna Claire uses one...
 Candy!...
Hope got the Disney Princess Barbie collection {seven princesses!!!}. Mallory would not take her eyes off those dolls. I told her she'd have to talk to Santa.
 Two tired little princesses...

Mallory does not take off her Belle dress. We actually bought her a Rapunzel dress two weeks before the party. She wore it every day...the hem ripped all the way around, she spilled milk down the front and the tulle ripped in two places. We bought the new Belle dress the day before the party.

Looking out onto the back porch watching the rain and blowing bubbles. Sweet!
 Watching Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage on YouTube...
Playing in their rain coats while it rains outside. Please do not miss the smile on Anna Claire's face and the shoes on Mallory's feet...
 A couple of weeks ago at the mall after spending our Gymbucks!

The weekend is almost here...hopefully more pictures to share. The girls start school next week. I cannot believe it!
