Life Lately

Happy Memorial Day!

We’re still enjoying the HOT weather at the cottage, but here’s a little life lately for you.

Lucy was sick with Croup two weeks ago and missed two days of school. We spent some time sorting her stuffies. Here are all her Squishmallows . . .

. . . and here are all her Beanie Boos.

The biggest news lately is that Emily lost her very first tooth! We didn’t even know it was loose . . . she just bit into my apple one evening and then it was hanging by a thread!

There’s nothing better than snuggling with Penelope Pudding. Exhibit A:

and Exhibit B!

Last Saturday the Olsons came over to celebrate allll the May birthdays (Josh, Eliana, Lucy, Marie, and Penelope!). Marie and I are alike in SO many ways, but we do differ on a few key points. 1. She’s very calm and relaxed . . . I’m not. 2. She loves the Peloton app for working out . . . I feel like I’m being yelled at and refuse to use it. 3. She loves sunflowers . . . I think they’re creepy. 4. She loves Oatmeal Raisin cookies . . . .and I still choose to be her friend. haha! Raisins have NO place in my baked goods, but I sucked it up and made her a batch of Oatmeal Raisin cookies for her birthday. She’s so lucky to have me! 😉

The weather was gorgeous, and these four little ladies played outside until 9:30pm! Give the mamas a few margaritas and some nice weather and suddenly we’re all loosey goosey with bedtime!

We found a lost doggie in our backyard the other day after school, and the girls and our neighbors were so in love. Would you believe that her name was Penny!? haha

We only had her for about 30 minutes before her owners called back, but Lucy was already planning life with two Pennies!

Have a great week!
