After Charlie’s soccer game we did some fun stuff and then saw a costume sale at a dance studio by our house. we stopped and scored some seriously awesome costumes before heading home.
We arrived home – put on costumes and stopped out to visit with Spencer – our next door neighboor (who is beyond nice). he was driving his wicked fast remote control car (even Bill was amazed by it) around and the kids were loving it. Spencer even let Charlie drive it!
Claire wearing her “new” fairy costume. Ellie in a cute little red number.
Later - while enjoying dinner last night we giggled until our bellies hurt over Ellie and her antics.
First she started off by just eating this apple – ALL of it. we stopped her here because we were ready to move on with dessert. I love how this girl always does things 110% – even eating the apple – core, seeds and all.
then she took this normal picture.
then she busted this GEM out! We could NOT stop laughing when looking at it!
Claire wanted some glamour shots too.
Charlie.
I also snapped a photo of our chore chart and coin system. It is working pretty well.
The patio set we scored off craigslist for $100. we love eating outside!
Sunday night Spencer and Jack (the other boy neighbor on our left) took the car in our narly backyard and the kids were loving it.
our neighbor’s back yard – love their deck!
we ended up sitting on that big wall and watching the kids run the car in the track they made in the empty yard behind us. It was so fun to watch!
the weather has been incredible! 80 or so during the day and hot enough you could easily go swimming (although we have no pool) and then cool at night. every day is a blue sky day too - amazing!
LOVE your chore system!! Are those quarters? Where did you find those jars?
