Sept 1
The dog went crazy when we got home from the bus today.
She ran back and forth from the kitchen to the family room.
And this is what we found.
Our little 11 pound puppy was so hyped up
that she slid across the floor on the rug,
gave it a 90 degree rotation and mounded it up.
Silly puppy.

An image of this place that makes us smile.
How do you suppose they decide what color bucket
they should use for their mailbox?
And do you really need the decorative finial
on top of a mailbox planted in a bucket?

This is the totally cute lunchbox Leia is using this year.
She says the only problem is that it is not red.
But the red one was not nearly as cute.
Sept 4

Mommy wants this in her mudroom.
She will settle for something else, but she wants this.
Stay tuned for what actually happens in there.
Oh, and the race is on with Uncle Jack.
It's his bathroom vs. our mudroom.

Mommy!!
What?
My cupcake!!!
What?
Come see!!!!
Just tell me!
My foot!!?!!
This can't be good.
My baby can catch with her foot!
(How do we market that talent?)
The situation turned out better than expected.
Instead of having to clean up creamy pink frosting from the floor
we just had to clean it off her foot.
And the puppy got to help!
Sept 6

Leia asked us to take off her training wheels.
She's been riding in the backyard (grass for cushioning) to practice.
And she has had a perma-smile on her face.
It is so nice to get this real smile on camera,
since the staged pictures look like constipation ads.
Mommy and Daddy are proud.
Good job, sweet girl!

Happy Brazilian Independence Day!
In honor of the occasion, we dressed Belle in yellow
and took her to her first soccer practice
with the ball we bought in Brazil.
She had a great time and actually kicked the ball in her first scrimmage game.
Wo-hoo!
She ran back and forth from the kitchen to the family room.

8-ball looks like a 10 year old compared to the boy next to her at soccer. Tell her to slow it down and not grow up so fast.
That was some kid's 2yr little brother who was getting in the way the WHOLE time. He was a little pain. His 10yr sister was trying to play too. In her fancy dress and flats. Strange family.
The kid on the other side (who got cut out of the photo) had lovely thick shoulder-length hair and was wearing shiny baby blue shorts. He was such a cute little girl.
His friend had cornrows that melded into long dreds, wearing a dark purple shirt and shiny red shin guards. He was also a cute little girl. It was like the transvestite team. Weird.
This coming from the mom who sent her daughter in a Cub Scout T-shirt.
Don't judge me!
