Painters

The girls helped with the painting of their room, and they had a blast getting paint everywhere. The final color was a bright yellow.

Grammy!

Grammy came for a visit! It was so nice to have her and introduce her to our 'world' here. Our girls loved spending time with her and making memories.

A trip was taken to a park where they found a local artist. He let the girls practice their writing.
This girl is too cute. I'm assuming she's a girl based on the pink fringe and strawberry on the front. I could be wrong though.
At another park, the girls thoroughly enjoyed the giant floating hamster wheel. I got nauseous just watching them.
Our mother and son lunch date - a sweet time to chat, laugh, and catch up.
This was a very common scene at home.
Up on South Mountain Park with the view of our city in the background.
And then we had a rather exhilarating ride on the way down on a couple of these three-wheeled beauties.
Okay, these have nothing to do with Grammy except for I was with her when I gazed upon this wonderment in seamstressety. I was really tempted. Man those are good-lookin' pants.
Observing the above garment, I suppose this is a proper transition to another locale we visited. At our city zoo, this is my favorite picture of the afternoon.

An Early Start

Meg wins the prize for beginning to prepare for Christmas the earliest. When Meg revealed her creation to me, she made sure I noticed that two of the camels are very hairy.
