Last week of summer break :(

Well, for us at least. Elisabeth starts school on August 5th and she is one excited first grader! We went school supplies shopping last week and decided all her supplies should be purple (which her Aunt Kyle whole heartedly approved of). She's sticking with her Star Wars back pack from last year, and we found a Star Wars lunch bag at Pottery Barn for Kids and a Star Wars thermos at Wal-Mart. She is such a goof ball. Purple sparkly school supplies; Star Wars everything else. Anyway, she should find out her teacher any day now and we have her open house on the 3rd. I can not believe she's going into 1st grade.

So, we've been hanging out and making the most of what's left of her summer.

Julia's been making these kind of messes all around the house...
Thank you Julia.

She also enjoys her chips dipped in salsa when we are out at Mexican restaurants.
And insists on playing with the cat toys as if she herself was the cat.


Elisabeth wanted a couple new outfits for school. Here she is modeling her Wizards of Waverly Place ensamble.
And her other favorite outfit. The girl has turned into a clothes horse!

How are the cats? Well, Figaro loves the tutu that Jana brought out to us.
And Roosevelt likes to sit as high up as he can jump.
But, mostly, the love hanging out together.


Here are some pics of us on our weekly Mom's Walking Club trek.
Notice my child (in the blue hat), hanging out with everyone but me. Not shy.



And lastly, here's Julia's current favorite game...playing peek-a-boo using our bedroom door.
