Good Morning

We are taking advantage of the cooler mornings; it's the only time to avoid the aggressive bees too. The forecast says 92 today! That's HOT! Marcus wanted to play outside this morning and I agreed that was a great idea. So I took my coffee and paper and sat on the porch to watch him play. Marc is off fishing on the coast so it's just me and the kids this weekend. Yesterday was filled with organizing the house and shopping for school clothes and shoes.


Olivia has been quite the Mommy. I got stung by a bee on my foot yesterday and for a while I couldn't even walk. I said "Olivia, what am I going to do?" Emma got me some ice and Olivia said "I think I can make dinner Mommy"...so sweet. I assured her that I would be ok though...but she was ready to step up. These are her new shoes for school. Aren't they cute?


This morning she said she was off to work. Marcus decided he needed to go to work too and he wanted to drive his motorcycle just like Daddy does every day.


Emma's had a rough morning so far. She hurt her hand on the shed door while trying to feed Tucker. She fell on the pavement while trying to get the paper. She was trying to get dressed quickly and Olivia left her...it's just not a good day so far for poor Miss Emma.


We got her dressed and ready for "work" too and the smile suddenly appeared. Here's the group ready for work.


The girls also wanted to show you all our corn. The garden actually produced pretty well this year. Even though we planted late so far we've enjoyed lettuce, squash and zucchini. Our pumpkins really took off...we've got a TON of pumpkins. I predict a fall party at our house...come one and all to pick out your pumpkins! Hope you are all having a great weekend! I need to figure out what to do now in this HOT HOT weather this afternoon. Guess there's always the pool.

Sorry you got stung, but looks like there was lots of helpers to the rescue. What great kids you have. Olivia looks so grown up. I love how kids play is so imaginative. Your corn looks great. Glad the garden turned out.
