this weekend was a practice in patience...
{long car rides with traffic & road construction, potty learning, fishing & knitting}
there were lots of long moments spent waiting...patiently
but those moments gave me the opportunity to sit and listen to what my littles had to share:
whilst driving, as a captive audience of two...Melania shared with us the amazing tale of her previous week & taught her sister how to burp on cue
whilst potty learning...Kiera shared with me her new word "pee" & then demonstrated
whilst fishing....Melania learned how to cut her own "bait" (pepperoni), bait her hook & cast!
whilst knitting...this mama learned that sometimes things need to be "frogged"
and...handpainted vases take a l o n g time to dry!
hot august days call for some serious fun!
there is nothing like the lake, cool water and sweet watermelon on a hot summer day!
those are the girls' 4th of July dresses handmade by mama from the Caroline dress pattern available here.
Minneapolis Aquatennial week is upon us!
Miss M has been avidly asking to attend Aquatennial events and to see the "Princesses"
She's fond to telling everyone she meets:
"My mommy was an Aquatennial Princess and when I grow up I'm going to be an Aquatennial Princess!"
It looks like she's well on her way...
