Cupcakes... or, Smurfcakes?

The girls enjoyed some cupcakes with Smurf-blue icing.

The cupcakes actually had mini icing hotdogs on top...

But as you can see, after eating the cupcake, Elli looked more like a Smurf than a little girl.

Viv and Mr. Crazy Head

Viv made this guy at summer camp. Look at all that hair he sprouted!

Elli and I spent one 100 degree plus day inside at the PTM.

She enjoyed the mini grand.

Dog Days of Summer

Today was so beautiful its hard to imagine we had days (weeks) earlier this month where the temperature was 100 degrees and felt like it was 110 degrees plus. During those hot days we spent lots of time in the water to cool off.

Elli loves to stand of water spouts.

Viv has become quite a swimmer this summer. She started the summer using this ring but now goes paddles around without the ring. She goes all the way under, sits on the bottom, and then pops up! She's going to stay in the pool this Fall with lessons.

Elli jumps right into the water.

Falling asleep by the pool.

This is a new community park with a splash pad.

Great view of the city sky line.

Again on the water spout.

We bought a sprinkler for the back patio.

Checking it out...

Yup... its fun!

Ahhh...
