Summer Sweetness

We have had some great moments this summer. I wanted to share a few of my "sweet" ones with you.

Last winter, we found out Morgan needed glasses. The eye doctor said she needed them ASAP, but Morgan was not at all thrilled about getting them in the middle of 1st grade. So we struck a deal, we would wait until summer to get the glasses so she could start 2nd grade fresh and no one would know she had never worn them. So out of the blue a couple of weeks ago she decided on her own it was time. She picked out her frames, with Nicole's approval, and we ordered them and had them in a week. She was very excited and has been pretty good about them. I think she looks adorable, take a look....

Rachel has found a new friend this summer, not really a new neighbor girl, but they are just old enough now to enjoy each other's company without always having a referee. This is ALEX. Rachel and Alex love to swing, ride in the jeep and generally stay too much in the street. They are having fun together.

The girls wanted to try their hand at a business venture this week-a lemonade stand. Nicole lasted about 1/2 hour out there, and then it was too hot and business too slow. But Morgan stayed out there most of the afternoon. She made $2 from the mail lady and thought that was great. Most of the product was drank by Rachel and Alex, much to Morgan's dismay.

I am not much of a saver, but decided to save each year's Lemonade Stand's sign. Here are the ones from 2008 and 2007. I love to see the progression of the handwriting, spelling and artwork.


I hope you are having a very "sweet" summer! Enjoy.
