 The girls were able to meet a few Frozen characters at a local toy store event.  They were so excited! They did a craft, got a tattoo and a sticker book too.

The days that you love to follow me around in the kitchen.  You set the table every night and put a full set of silverware out for everyone (even "an ife" (a knife)).  You help whenever you can with any prep.  Here you are grating cheese for our kaese spaetzle.

 Juliette scared of the storm clouds

The day we went to the IMA for a picnic and a walk.  It was a beautiful evening even though the storms were threatening. Allie is in love with the Lilly house and has hopes that her house will look exactly like this one day!  :)

 The day that you actually sat down and listened and practiced writing a "S" with Miss Miller.  How overjoyed Allie becomes when she has someone to teach.  How distraught she is when you decide that you don't want to participate.  I feel so sorry for her since she just enjoys it so very much...and let's face it...Juliette...you need to pay attention.

 As we were walking  the girls embraced as they marched down the trail!  Soooo sweet!!!  You love each other so much.

 Fall is just around the corner and as we walked, leaves fluttered to the ground.  We discovered many of these were poplar leaves and the girls were over-joyed that they were in the shape of a heart.  

 After gathering leaves you busied yourself making collages at home.

The day you were all home and sick with strep throat.  After a morning of being cooped up inside we took advantage of empty trails and a gorgeous afternoon to walk around Turkey foot nature park.  The day that you, Isabelle said, "I am kinda glad I was sick today".

The day we joined our friends for a fun afternoon of apple picking.  We are so fortunate to have life long friends to have traditions like this.  6 years ago was our first trip here and we hope to have many more.
