"Gardening."

Rosie said she would clean up leaves in the yard. I assumed she would be using her rake.

But I was wrong.

Walking to school in the rain isn't as bad when we use umbrellas.

This one's a keeper.

Rosie's rainbow castle. "Mama, the little bathrooms are here and the outdoor shower is over here."

Ballet Saturdays are the best.

Jungle Book movie night, thanks to Sveinn Fraendi.

Sunday school coloring.

We found the perfect rocks for snack time during our hike.

We also found a cave/shelter.

Rock #1. Mary's penchant for climbing persists.

Rock #2.

Rosie: "I found the Pearl, Mama!"

Then she broke into a run...

...and Mary wasn't far behind.

Rosie takes over the camera

A pretty good one of Mary.

I think her framing needs some work.

A selfie, of course.

A picture of Bjossi with a photo bomb by Mary's camera.

The best picture she got of Lambie.

Rosie: "Now take a picture of me with Lambie."

Tea party with real [herbal] tea. Neither liked it very much.

Rosie working on her writing.

Staying warm while eating ice cream outside. Rosie was dressed perfectly to camouflage any ice cream drips. 

Rosie and I are getting pretty good at building train tracks, or at least that what we tell ourselves.

Mary: "Mama, did you get my thumbs-up in the picture?"
