Summer's Almost Over

The weather has been amazing this week and despite the girls bad allergies and constant runny noses, we've been spending a lot of time outside. Hannah loves chasing the frisbee and Alice Anne thinks it's pretty funny. The 4 of us have been on a couple of bike rides and I wish I had a picture b/c I'm sure it's a pretty funny sight...Alice Anne is in the baby seat on the back of my bike, daddy is on his bike and Hannah always starts out on her tricycle but after riding a couple of houses past ours, she ends up on daddy's lap with her feet up on his handle bar.

Alice Anne had another tooth come in last week, so we had another long week, but she is so sweet when those silly teeth aren't bothering her and she has been crawling around the last couple of days just giving everyone kisses. We're hoping that we're finished with teeth for a few weeks! Hannah is having some teeth issues of her own and Monday was a LONG day for all of us! Hannah just wasn't herself and the only thing I can contribute it to was a molar that I saw coming in. She had her fingers in her mouth all day and chewed on Alice Anne's teethers. She's a little better now but is still complaining of her teeth hurting. All these teeth are seriously going to give me lots of wrinkles!!!


A few recent pictures...

Last week Hannah and I made cookies to take down to the new neighbors. She was so excited to deliver them and when we were putting them in the basket, she decided that we needed to take cookies to everyone else she could think of as well. So, the mailman got cookies, the yardman got cookies, our next door neighbors got cookies, the people that live in our old house got cookies and our old next door neighbors got cookies. She was so proud as she loaded all of them up in the wagon. She colored a picture to put on every one's bag of cookies and she loved using the hole punch to punch a hole in her picture.

A new game that the girls have to see who can drink the most water out of the faucet in the bathtub. They die laughing at themselves every single time.

Hannah getting ready to start back to school...she LOVES this new "getting ready to read" book that Granddaddy gave her at Alice Anne's party. I wish I had a picture of the whole table because she always strategically puts all of her babies in the other chairs at the table.

Alice Anne isn't trying to walk on her own at all yet, but she loves walking behind this little walker. She is NOT into shoes at all! I'm lucky if they stay on for an entire minute!!

This morning Hannah and I had our little "date." Before going to the mall, we took daddy's car to get the oil changed and walked over to Sonic while they were working on it.

Hannah's order: "a limeade with a bowl of 3 cherries and a diet coke for my mommy, please"

She pulled out her wallet and her "credit card" that she made. She looked at me and asked as seriously as ever, "mommy, do they take amep (amex)??" Has she really heard me say that?
