meet the lobos

little sister represented her volleyball team at the annual community pep rally tonight that kicks off the new school year.  she always has so much fun with her friends!

puppy-sitting

our new neighbor needed some puppy-sitters for a few hours today, and the girls were happy to volunteer.  they had some fun walking abby & damon, but they were disappointed when they mostly just slept!  too cute, and too funny!!

last girl standing

got some new toys today - on clearance, which was a pretty sweet deal.  the girls have been eyeing these ever since they first saw them.  time to get some aggression out - and lots of giggles, too!

party time

big sister had her two best friends over tonight for some teenage fun: pizza, movies, and a sleepover.  they made slime, made messes, and generally ran around squealing - music to this mom's ears!  we experimented a few nights before with making tie-dye bundt cakes.  the whole party turned out quite fabulous!!
