Summer Fun

One of our favorite parts of Summer is that we have time for lots of playdates. During the year, most people are too busy between school and activities to come and play. During this playdate, the kids had a blast with Play-doh.
Dorathy, Christopher, and Courtney opened up a bakery shop with all the
goodies they created. They got out the play money and wanted me to take pictures of everything. This was serious business to them: Arguing prices and handing out change. So fun to watch! My kids love to run pretend businesses. They're not ready to do it in the real world yet, though. Christopher has a few ideas for making a side income next summer, though. He's finally big enough to mow other people's lawns!

Julianna is fascinated with glasses. Funny thing, she ONLY likes Daddy with his glasses on. If he ever takes his glasses off, Julie will say "Daddy glasses, glasses? glasses? NOW!" And she won't stop till he puts his glasses back on. It's hilarious. Julianna prefers people with glasses!

Christopher proves that being almost 12 is NOT too old to goof off with Play-doh! I think he re-discovered just how much fun it was. He created a swirly road for everyone's creatures to drive down. It looked great, but was a pain to clean up. I felt grateful all over again for my laminate flooring!!!

Here is Julianna getting ready for the Dallas Summerfest Parade. It was so chilly we shivered in coats! It was so weird...parades should be hot! In past parades, people would spray the audience with water as they drive by. Not this year, though!
The girls ate our packed picnic before the Candy-throwers arrived. Everyone loves the parade, but the Candy is everyone's favorite part. We got several bags worth this year. This was the first time ever that Scott didn't get to come...he had to work. We missed his enthusiasm and silly shouts to all the floats.
After the Parade, I went to the Library book sale and got about 50 books for only 5$!! It was amazing...I'm definitely going to do that again next year! I needed to borrow a wagon cart to haul the books to my car. What an amazing deal. :0
