It is summer.
I sometimes wonder what a summer of organization and routine would look like. But really, it would look like someone else's summer.
I haven't been taking a ton of pictures lately. But here are some. Some from when the Whites were up, and some more recent.
Hope your summer is as lovely and organized as you mean for it to be!

Elliott was a cow with chicken pox. I love this kid!
The kids wanted to paint Ashley's face, so she let them. Hoyt is a cow with horns.

Love this kid!
Yes, this is a lawn mower decorated like the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard.

Okay! Overly long comment time:
•Well, obviously, fun cousin times!
•The cow with chicken pox really got to me. I had quite a laugh at that!
•Elsie picking the grass from a foot away from the calf to feed it is both completely adorable and hilarious.
•What is with Owen's new hat?
•Concerning the same picture, what is with Cody's truck?
•Also, Lily makes sand throwing an art. Like ballet.
That is all.
Ha- loved seeing Elsie feeding the calf- definitely a little farmer girl in the making! And little Hoyt at the parade is adorable! Speaking of- what parade? You weren't around for July 4th!
I agree with Olivia's comment about Lilly making throwing dirt an art form. Also love Elsie feeding the calf hay in the basket, it should be an award winning photo. I also love all your pictures, glad you took time to blog!
Amy, it is the annual Heritage Day Parade. Last Saturday in August generally. It is a fundraiser for the Moira Historical Society.
Livie, Owen is wearing a hat that Chris Alexander gave him...? I think that is the story on the hat. It is a little too small for him, so he hasn't been wearing it since that Day. And Cody is in Owen's new truck from Fremont.
I love how you say that you haven't been taking many photos this summer, and then proceed to post as many pics as usual - ha! And they are all wonderful, and really capture a great summer feel. I too feel like I should have more structure in summer, like I should be having more things for my kids to do. But they usually just end up bored anyway. I guess that's how summer is really supposed to be...
I'm deeply enamored of Elsie's forward and aft pigtails. Amen.
