Little Personalities

Since we live so far away from everyone here's a glimpse of what the girls are like these days. Mostly  I just needed to capture it because Elise is growing up so fast. Nathan made the girls root beer floats for the first time this weekend. I was just trying to catch Elise's smile, but she was squinting too fast... Then as a bonus you can see her "surprised face" which she makes at every opportunity it seems.

Now for some other snapshots of life recently. Making room in the garden for a little campfire to roast marshmallows. The big girls also got to go backyard camping with Dad. Claire's suggestion the next day was that we should try "frontyard" camping next. You know, for the change in scenery. 

We do have blocks at our house, but macaroni boxes make houses just the right size for ponies and beanie babies. They played with these boxes for hours over the course of 2 days, no joke. Then after I squished a few boxes by stepping on them I put them in the cupboard to save for another day. Wouldn't want the novelty to wear off on this toy.
