Darcy's New Shoes


Darcy's very proud of her new shoes which she colored herself.  Calvin however looks like he wants to eat them.

Life Size Hungry Hippos

At a church function Kiley and I got to play Hungry Hungry Hippos... the real life version!  It was a lot of fun just to watch grown adults slam into each other.  No one was hurt, but a silent prayer please for all the laundry baskets lost in battle...

Yoda Hat!

Want this for Christmas, I do.

Grocery Shopping

For the first time in months both my girls are in school, which means I can now do the grocery shopping without saying "stay close or I'll put you in the cart" 100 times.

Here it is: the last day of summer.  I personally think the girls had a fantastic time these hot few months.  We may not have gotten to do everything on our list, but we did get to have a lot of fun.  Here's a brief list of all the places they got to go:

The Zoo (twice!)
The Florida Aquarium
Camping in Tallahassee
Family Reunion in Atlanta
The Children's Museum
Video Gaming in St. Pete
Legoland
The Beach 
Mirabay Pool
Dinosaur World
Inside Out movie
Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota
Common Ground Park in Lakeland
The Minions movie
Chucky Cheese
A Boat Ride Across the Bay

I don't know about you guys, but this has been the best summer ever!

Mallard Summer Camp - Day 71

Today we went over to Uncle Kenny's house to play video games and Legos.  The girls had a great time and loved his "big iPads".  Who would have thought it would have taken so much out of them!

Mallard Summer Camp - Day 66

When I was a kid, at the end of every summer, we took a big trip to some place special.  With that spirit in mind, the girls and I went to Legoland!



Darcy's 1st Roller Coaster!!



Daddy Selfie



Evie got to go in a car by herself.  She was super excited.



Darcy's favorite ride.  


You may have to zoom in to see Evie's reaction.  So priceless. 


The force is strong with this one... 


You overweight glob of grease!




EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!




Darcy and Evelyn also got to ride in their own lego cars.  They both got "driver's licenses".  Evie was a much better driver than she was last year.  Darcy would have been great, if she had just kept her eyes on the road.

Whenever I have to work the girls stay with Grammy.  That means they get to spend a lot of time in the pool.

Greetings From The Sunshine State!

Though lately it has felt more like Seattle than Florida! It has rained here every day, for all or most of the day, for more than two weeks. The girls are looking forward to "sunny summer days."
