Tomatoes, Tomatoes Everywhere!

We only planted one tomato plant but it's been more than enough. The plant started falling over so we've been picking them and putting tomatoes anywhere we think they might ripen!

Yes, I like to randomly squat on the deck near the herbs. What'cha gonna do?

Dandelions

This was from a few weeks ago - it was a warm-ish afternoon and I knew we had to get outside and soak it in.

All of a sudden I think Arlie looks so much like Andrew! She seems to flip-flop between the two of us as to who she looks like.

Lost Summer

I found these pictures that I forgot to post. I read an article in Sunset magazine about a local beach with water temperatures that hit 70 degrees on average in August. Um, we Washingtonians love our beaches but we don't normally get to swim in the water without a wet suit. So we packed up the kids and checked out Twanoh State Park on the Hood Canal.

Arlie's all suited up for water fun! Doesn't she look like a beach volleyball player?

Arlie was kind of afraid of the water at first. And she definitely didn't like that she could see fish swimming. But with Andrew's help she got to the point where she wouldn't get out. The water actually was pretty warm and very clear. I even went swimming!

Andi really like playing with the floaty divider and the small pebbles.

Poor kid couldn't sit upright with her life jacket on though.

 Another video of Andi just chilling while we laugh at her non-reaction.

My Happy Bananareena

The full title to this post should be, "My Happy Bananareena And My Reluctant Bananareena". Arlie was having fun in the dress up box this morning and thought Andi was being left out. You can see the obvious enthusiasm on Andi's face once this was rectified. I wish there was some kind of sarcasm font.

Niiiiiiiiice.

I had these photos in a folder simply titled, "Andi Has Crap On Her Face". From top to bottom - Oreos, blackberries, and hummus.
