Apologies

A few weeks ago Ross was gone for the week on a work trip and I had a really bad night with Lucy. We were struggling to get along and it was just not fun at all! I got her all ready for bed and left her in her room and I went to watch TV because I needed a brake. She came downstairs a little while later with these two notes. It was the sweetest thing! These were written all on her own; I did not ask her to write a thank you note or anything at all. It was very sweet! I think what I love most of all about it is the way she sounds out the words to write them. So very precious!

Sock Holders!

Gramma Ward made these sock holders for me and I love them! The girls keep all of their shoes in our mud room and when they come in the door, they sit down and take their socks and shoes off. They ususally put their dirty socks back in the clean sock box and I most always forget to get them come wash day. I've been wanting something for them to put their dirty socks in and asked Gramma if she could make something for me. She did and I love them! I think they are super cute and the girls are doing a good job at putting their dirty socks in the jean bags. Thank you, Gramma!

Bed Partners

Ross travels some with his job during the summer months and he was gone quite a bit in August and September. I started letting the girls sleep with me while he's gone because it's fun, they like it, and honestly it helps me to get them into bed quicker being alone. :) Sometimes I can sleep on the end, but sometimes I have to sleep in the middle. Either way it's not the best sleep, but I sleep okay for the most part. I snapped this picture one night last week before I went to bed. Too sweet. :)

One Last Swim

I took this picture on Labor Day as we were headed to our neighborhood pool for one last swim of the season. It was a hot day, but the water was super cold. That didn't stop Lucy and Molly, though! They loved swimming and wanted to soak up every last bit of it as long as they could!

School Papers

I pulled this out of Lucy's backpack a few weeks ago and just loved it so much. I asked her if she did this on her own or in one of her classes. She said she did it in art class. I didn't ask anything more, because nothing more is needed to know about it. :)
