luckily, we made the most of today (after i had some coffee to pick me up).
nola showed off her belly-finding skills. (she's in the middle of saying "bellybellybellybelly" here, which in her language is more like "blblblblblbllaalalalbalalalalal")
the walsh girls, including cleo-the cat, took a walk up the street so nola could try out her "new" (avery's old, first) sneakers. they're a bit too small, but she loved walking with them, and let me hold her hand while we were going down the street. and avery loved leading the way with her stick. success!
this was just as it was starting to get really humid and gross. just sitting (in the shade) on the steps made us sweaty and red in the face. ugh.
ta-da! zane's latest project. as of right now, the wall part is finished, there's mulch in place and we just need to decide where/what plants we want to put in. this part of the yard used to be a mess of weeds and wild things, mostly because it was a pain to mow the slope (not that i do the mowing, but zane said so). now it'll look nice and be easy to maintain. yay!
after yard work and walks, avery and i went to jan's house for bagels and lemonade and a chance to catch up with her, meghan and my mom. such a nice girls lunch and i got avery into jan's playgroup/home preschool 2 mornings a week in the fall! so excited!! she had so much fun checking out all the toys in the basement and playing in the big backyard. more success all around! (ps, she had a skirt on that got taken off when she was playing in a little pool since i didn't bring extra clothes. we're a lot more laid back in the summer, but not so laid back that we don't dress the girls when we go out. like the 4 year old i saw in target in a t-shirt and underwear. hmmm.)
nola finally has just enough hair to use a little clip in the front without it looking like i'm trying too hard! (her poor curly head is it's own furnace and has been so sweaty the last couple days.)
and finally (no picture evidence), avery went on her potty TWICE this afternoon!!! we did a happy potty dance and then got her a milkshake from macdonalds for her accomplishment! excitement all around!
and now we're in the beautiful airconditioning. the girls are sound asleep. and i'm thinking a book in bed and early bedtime sounds heavenly.

Sounds like you guys are having a wonderful and productive, all be it hot, summer!! :) The girls are soooo stinking cute! I loved that you said the Walsh girls, it just makes me smile!!
Call me sometime soon!
I love that picture of you and the girls walking together with the cat too! Avery's boots are perfect!
Love all the pictures! Any tips you want to pass down on potty training? Lauren was going potty and then she completely lost interest :( Any books I should read? I'm thinking about just taking diapers away from her. It's weird, the boys were so much easier to train, lol!
