"buh bye, see you!"


Today marks the end of another fantastic summer! We spent the summer reminiscing on all of the things that we had done together this summer and all of the fun that we had! The girls wanted to make something to remember the summer by, so we decided to make a poster and draw, paint, and write all of the things that we did this summer. I asked the girls if they even could remember it all and they said if they put their heads together they could come up with a list and I think we got it all! I am going to miss my morning cuddle time with Greta, dancing and singing with Ava, watching Cake Boss with Soso and laughing at all of the crazy things that Sashy does and says, but thing good thing is, "I am not going to San Diego." I kept having to remind the girls of this everytime they would be sad that it was the last day and school was starting. (Too which one time Greta replied, "no, but you're leaving the country" ;) )

This summer was full of experiences, lessons and memories that I would not trade for the world and have helped me become and prepare to be a better person. Its amazing what you can learn from four small little girls and how they can make such a huge impact on your life.

That's a wrap for this summer sitter. Time for a nap!

"Add some Pazazz..."

I love doing projects that take a majority of the day because it keeps the girls busy and we get to do fun things and make a mess that we don't have to clean up for a while. Today was one of those days. The girls have been asking since the beginning of the summer when we were going to make sugar cut out cookies and today was the day. We had fun mixing the dough and cutting the shapes

and then of course the best part....DECORATING


We mixed fun colors and gave them "pazazz", as Greta said, by adding sprinkles and her favorite red sparkle decorating gel. I love watching their creativity and seeing how simple or intricate each cookie turns out. We were admiring how bright and fun the colors were and the girls both agreed that they did not look real, that they looked kind of cartoony...








well cartoony or not they sure tasted good, but looked almost too good to eat!

...almost ;)
