Week of July 14, 2014

The weather has been simply amazing this week (we're talking 70's...in July...in Oklahoma) and has allowed for tons of outside time with the girls.

 

Knox and Brex came over both Monday and Tuesday.  We spent the majority of the day outside, playing on the swingset and the patio.  The little time the kiddos spent inside, they enjoyed playing dress-up.

 Brex and Katie cuddled up in the den after lunch to play with Katie's leappad.

The weather has been so cool and so wet lately that the blackberries are growing really big.  We've only been a few times but, we've picked a few gallon freezer bags full.

We had a drive-in themed tot school at Evan's house this week.  The kids decorated boxes and made them into cars.  They also got tickets to spend at the "concession stand".

Katie and I made a blackberry custard cake with some of the blackberries we picked.

Both girls really love their baby dolls but, Audrey in particular plays with them on a daily basis.

 We were able to get Katie a few more preschool items.  We ordered some preschool curriculum from My Father's World.  Katie was so excited when it arrived on the porch.  Both girls have been playing with the toys everyday and I can tell it's going to make for a very fun preschool year.

We ordered a bountiful basket this week with a strawberry add-on.  The girls went through a container of strawberries in one sitting.

 Looks like the last really beautiful day was yesterday so we spent this morning outside in the cool.  Katie found our big toad and all the girls (including Lillie) were fascinated with him.
