12 of 12 August

1. Banana chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. We watched Sophie and she told me (more than once), "I think I want a muffin now" when she saw the left-overs on the counter.
2. This is August in the midwest? Sign me up! It has been so cool and rainy this year, and other than a few complaints that I wanted more swimming, it's been pretty alright by me.
3. This year's garden.
4. D@mn squirrels. Eating our tomatoes before they fully ripen. Makes me so mad!
5. I feel like a success when I have something in the Bosch.
6. Playing with sister's dress-up clothes while she's asleep is so much fun.
7. I might be a bad mom, but I find this succession of pictures so hilarious. I couldn't remember what consequence I was enforcing that caused the melt-down, but Millie saw it and asked, "Why am I crying? Because I came out of my room and couldn't watch 'tutu'?" That was it.
8. This kid is a full-on walker now.
9. Reading stories with the door open. Ahhhh, heaven.
10. Pioneer Woman Herb Bread. Made the random lentil soup I threw together seem decent.
11. Truman clapping and yelling to scare away the squirrels stealing tomatoes from the garden. Don't know where he could get that. (At least he hasn't picked up on choice squirrel language. Oops.)
12. Bath time is the best. I would bathe my kids multiple times a day if it didn't require costume changes.
