summer...

nothing says a summer weekend...

like

some time spent with family

renting movies from Redbox...

Saturday night church so you can sleep in on Sunday morning...

enjoyment of some non-intentional *couple* glasses of wine
in which sleeping in on Sunday was a big help to both

fun at the pool...

a wonderful rainstorm you just like to sit, watch, and listen to...

that created the best peachy-orange tint to the sky afterwards 
in which Madison said...

"It is raining lots of candy all over the world"

"well it will start in a minute" she says

doing a little yardwork...

and seeing butterflies in your yard
{but I just took the pictures this morning...}

our very own tree frog
well I'm calling it ours anyway

{an awful picture yes I know because I cannot take pics at night;)}

watering within a foot of your hummingbirds since they are getting used to us {and the girls} by now

and spending Sunday night relaxing...

now we are all geared up for the week...

{yep...this girl is all about using every piece of safety bike gear we own}

that is unless "crank" attitudes keep on fighting over who drives

it seems that is how it goes around here

notice Madison laughing

while Hayley screaming

one is always doing the opposite of the other

so it seems...

especially when Madison was trying to help Hayley drive straight

in which Hayley rather drive straight into my car...repeatedly...
and intentionally

she listens well about as well as someone else who resides in our home...

not mentioning anyone in particular though...

the upcoming weekend at the lake with family is quite an incentive

for the girls to listen to mommy this week

it's been working like a charm so far...

loving that!
