Filling up July

During July we mostly kicked back and took it easy.  At least that's what I remember.  It's been a while!

 

The girls enjoyed soaking up the sunshine!  Well, all the kids did, but the girls took pictures of themselves enjoying it.

Sarah had fun putting sunscreen on Chloe.

Ashley came over and chalked the girls' hair.  We had all seen it on Pinterest and they decided to give it a try.  Sarah asked for green highlights.

Chloe wanted pink tips.

The hairdresser!

Kyle decided he wanted in on the fun.  He requested a green fauxhawk.  Don't worry if you can't really see the green.  I can't either.  I could in person though, but it wasn't very dark.  I think his hair was too short.

The results!

Our Primary held a carnival to reward the kids for choosing the right.  At least I think that's what the reward was for.  Like I said, it's been a while.  There were all sorts of carnival booths for the kids to have fun at.  Brad and I ran a fishing booth.  Kyle's favorite though (and many of the other kids') was the face painting.  He was thrilled with his lightning cloud.  He did NOT want to wash it off, but felt a little bit better when I took a picture of it first.

All of the kids play dress up and Emma finally decided to get in on the action.  She brought me the Buzz Lightyear hood and the dragon mask and asked me to help her.  Then she picked up a foam sword and attacked me!

What a silly monkey!

Last, but not least, Sarah got her second pair of glasses.  Her first pair was for reading and to correct one eye that wanted to pull away from center.  At that time the doctor said she had the beginnings of nearsightedness.  Well, it finally started bothering her enough that I took her back in.  Sure enough, while she didn't need a strong prescription, she did need one.  So now she has distance glasses and reading glasses.  That's better than bifocals at this age though!

Oh, and her glasses make her look older which is not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it's hard to see my babies growing up!
