summer playdate

So great when sibling pairs team up so nicely for a summer afternoon playdate.

Hanging out on Sunday morning.

Abby went to art camp and the theme was "Ancient Art". Activities included mummifying a Barbie doll and building a pyramid. There was even preparation of the "body" before mummy burial process, including cutting the Barbie's hair.

Summer days.

notes from abby

Found a few funny ones when sorting through a couple of years of saved art / notes / school stuff.....

Above, not a great photo, but the writing says:

TOP: "A wish for my best friend: to have all the doll clothes she wants.  A wish for my parents: mom - cook better; dad - exercise better.  A wish for me: I wish I could have all the stuff I want."  Editors note: Hopefully this is not a reflection on the quality of cooking or exercising, but just an assumption that what Abby sees us doing lots of must be what we want to do... :)

LEFT: "I would be a moss mouse. moss mice can be shy and quiet they love storys and cuddling on their soft green cushions."

BIG ONE: "Once there was a mat and a cat. The cat was very curious the mat was not. They were not a good pair."

Sing it sister.

Yep.

I think this was copied from Winnie the Pooh ... so great that Abby found it and wrote it down when she was six.

Thanks Abbs!  Love you too.
