More Summer Fun

Still enjoying every moment of summer vacation. Some recent happenings...

We're participating in our church community garden, so we've spent some time up there watering, weeding and socializing. The only bad part has been some rabbits that have helped themselves to most of our vegetables. In an effort to stop them, the guy in charge of the garden has started putting up a rabbit fence. Not sure if it's keeping the rabbits out or not, but it works for Paxton!
We had a garage sale last weekend and Madi and her friend had a lemonade/cookie stand. They did pretty well and Madi is now $13 richer. At one point, she had to leave and left Jenna in charge. When she got back, Jenna wasn't there. Madi yelled, "Where in the world is Jenna?! She's not watching the lemonade!!" This was serious business.
Madi has been playing a lot of dress up lately and wedding is the most common theme. She asked me why brides wear white dresses. I paused and she said, "Because white is pretty, right?" I breathed a sigh of relief and agreed that it was a pretty color. Wasn't quite ready for the purity conversation with the 4 year old.
She's also been dressing up like a cowgirl since attending our western themed VBS last week.
Paxton just like being the cow...
I actually dropped Madi off with Gee Gee and Pa yesterday for their annual "camp". On our way home, Paxton and I stopped for a Mommy/Son date at Baskin Robbins. Couldn't ask for a cuter date!
Needless to say, he liked his clown cone!
It's been VERY dry here the past 6 weeks so when we finally got a rainy day, the kids enjoyed it. Madi insisted that they put their rain boots...
Paxton enjoyed the puddles, but thought they needed just a LITTLE more water...

SPLASH!!!
Like I said, loving the summer and wishing it would just quit speeding by!
