Happy Father's Day!

The girls woke up Michael with breakfast in bed and his Father's Day present.  When you live in a house full of girls you get your Father's Day present wrapped in camo wrapping paper with glitter tape! He got just what he wanted, a sausage maker attachment for the KitchenAid.

Today was also the first Sunday that we've been to church since promotion Sunday. Julia moved upstairs to the children's floor and Charlotte stayed right where she was since she was in the group ahead of her school group.

 

Charlotte took this card to church with her to remind her to tell her teachers to pray for baby Sarah Belle. 

Julia has been wanting to make a Julia Child recipe since Miss Julia nicknamed her Julia Child. She had kind of forgotten about it until we saw Julia Child's kitchen at the Smithsonian last week. She has been asking again so today Julia, Charlotte, and I made an Apple Charlotte for Father's Day dessert. It was actually easier than I expected, it just had a lot of steps! The girls had  great time though and it was really good.

This afternoon Granddad, GranDi, Shannon and Sarah came over for a Father's Day cookout. We blew up the water slide and the girls played in it. Sarah didn't have a swimsuit so she borrowed one of mine. When did that happen?! Shouldn't she still be wearing little smocked swimsuits?!

Lighthouses and Crabs

This morning we got to see Alex in Madagascar when he FaceTime'd Nan.  The girls thought that was so cool!

 

Today Nan, Michael, Julia, Charlotte and I went to the Calvert Marine Museum. The girls loved climbing up the lighthouse. They thought it was such a neat place to explore.

After we left the museum we went to get some crabs for tonight. The guy was raising (?) soft shell crabs and Julia got to hold one while Charlotte snoozed in the car. She thought that was pretty neat!

 

We went crabbing over at Aunt Cindy's this afternoon too. It's a good thing we stopped at the crab man or we would have been hungry! We caught a few, but not enough to feed our crowd!

 

The girls loved the crabs, but I think they had just as much fun hanging out with Christy! 

And to end the night, Big ordered up another picture perfect sunset.

VBS - Day 2

Today was a rainy day for day 2 of VBS.  Julia was so glad that Tucker was there today and that they were in the same group!

 

This afternoon I took Julia back out to Hair in Motion to let them try to get the tangles out of her hair form Saturday night. It was still so tangled and she wouldn't let me work on it anymore. It took two of the girls almost an hour of working on her, but they finally got all the tangles out! They washed and dried her hair and I think it's safe to say she enjoyed that part. She thought she was big time! 

 

We had to take our daily VBS picture this afternoon because it was raining this morning, but the sun came out this afternoon! 

This evening Charlotte was playing with her dolls. She came out with her Jasmine costume on and informed me that she and Elsa were going to the ball and asked if I would take their picture. This girl loves dress up, sparkles, and everything girly!
