End of Summer

The girls were having fun making fairy houses in the backyard.  Turns out they are the perfect size for Polly Pockets. My favorite part, in this picture below is the stone sofa - very Flintstones.  Best part, it kept them entertained outside for ages! 


And now, before we know it, it's time for Eleanor to go back to school! Can't believe she'll really be in 4th grade.  I have so many memories from that time on, it makes me anxious to make sure she has lots of good ones! We came up with a brilliant plan to motivate her over the summer by buying a bunch of fun accessories for school (aka - this sequined beret) and having her write a list of goals.  As she accomplished her goals, she earned the fun things for school.  Very successful - I'll have to try it again next year.

 
I guess all this back to school prep just wore Maggie out.  Too cute not to share!

...and now 4th grade is nearly over, and Maggie is a toddler, rather than a baby. Time DOES fly!
