Back at the school where Alyssa has her singing lesson we checked on the status of the underground ocean hallway and much to Rebekah's excitement they added mermaids! Now all the fish, no matter how cool, have fallen to at least second place on her favorites list.
The girls had been asking for a picnic lunch all week long, and we had a nice afternoon on Saturday, so we decided to grill out. Dave grilled some chicken and a few turkey hot dogs, but other than that I just threw together some leftovers that I wanted to get out of the fridge. I looked at the hodgepodge of food I was about to serve and felt kind of bad that their much anticipated picnic wasn't going to be fancier. Emma walked up mid-way through my microwaving process and she said, "Mmmmm, I can't wait, it's such a yummy picnic." Bless her.

Our first outdoor meal this year. We had some of the neighbor kids stop by last minute to join us and all the kids raved about the leftovers. I wish it was always this easy to feed them!! And I will let you decide if Dave has something in his eye, or if he is trying to avoid being photographed :-)
The girls love stumbling upon heart shapes in unexpected places {and it's both fun and funny how often we find perfect hearts in places you'd never imagine they could be}! This month it happened twice with food...Emma had a heart shaped cheese curd when G&G took the girls to Culvers, and Rebekah got a heart shaped chicken nugget a few days later.

Looking through her kindle, it appears that Emma spent some time this month taking self portrait photos. Here she had given herself a black eye with some eye shadow.
These were all taken on the way to church one Sunday morning.

At the gym lately, Rebekah has had more interest in practicing while I coach than she has ever had before. But when she's not busy with her own group I can usually find her doing something silly like this ~ giving her tiny teddy bear a swing on the kip trainer.

Gymnastics practice might be one of a very few places where it is the coolest thing ever to accidentally show up wearing the same thing as your best friend.

Funny... Carter keeps asking to have picnic lunches outside too :) Glad your kids were so impressed with your leftovers!
