Stroller Derby.

Balloon Time, Again.

Since elle got to pick out her 'most favorite thing ever' - the rare Gigantic Purple-Purple Butterfly, we decided to get Isla a balloon of her favorite thing...a hot dog:

Balloon Time.

Here is elle with her purple and purple butterfly - trying to rock it to sleep because "he is sleepy from flying all day":

The Avocado Experiment, Day 3.

After only 3 days, some magic fertilizer, (a trip to the grocery store), and lots of attention - elle picked her first avocado!!

The Avocado Experiment, Day 2.

Back to check on the progress:

The Avocado Experiment.

Whatever you want to call it....el aguacate, an alligator pear, la palta, or the butter fruit - we decided to take out the pit, plant it in some dirt inside our AVOCADO green planter, and see what happens.

Approximately 8 seconds after it was planted and watered - elle wanted to go back outside and see if we had a new one yet:

Shake It, Again.

Same story, elle's version:

Shake It.

Isla, in a recent chocolate shake attack:

The Squirrel in the Attic.

Was cleaning out the attic this weekend - and look what we discovered nesting in one of the crates:

Watermelon + Japanese Guinea Pigs.

Houdini.

As Isla soon found out - getting IN the table is quite a bit easier than getting OUT:

Pull Over, I'm Driving!

After the trauma of getting hosed-down had subsided, elle decided to go topless and steal the firetruck for revenge:

The Friendly Firetruck.

What was intended to be a fun way to cool off with the help of the local Fire Brigade, turned into elle running for her life:

4th of July.

I felt it was my patriotic duty to show elle the real meaning of Independence Day - so I entered her in a snowcone-eating contest!!

A quick break to cure snowcone-induced brain-freeze:



Pushing through the pain:
