Last Days of Summer

I have a love hate relationship with all the girls' little toys, especially the Barbie toys.  On the one hand they are so cute when they're playing nicely with them.  The little voices and the elaborate games as they take their Barbies on vacations and sleepovers and to school and church and the park and any other thing they can think up.  

HOWEVER, the opposite happens equally often which is fighting.  SO MUCH FIGHTING over who gets which pieces and who is in charge not to mention the days when honestly no one is playing with any of it, they are just making sure that no one else gets to play with it and that MAKES ME CRAZY!!!!!

Lately we've had more of the "make me crazy days" than we've had the playing nicely days so we made a decision to pack it all up for awhile.  I feel like I literally cannot break up another fight and I'm tired to my very core of cleaning up all this stuff so it is time for a break.


The girls were not happy about this and didn't know what to do with themselves for about an hour and then surprise surprise the found some things to do that didn't cause so much fighting.

And to my complete amazement these 2 even played nicely together for over an hour.  WINNING!!!



This girl loves her kitty!


Love this little girl's determination.

We spent a little bit of time over at Ryan and Katie's house this August helping them replace some trim before they got their house repainted.

We also enjoyed Roberts puppies whenever we got a chance.











After about a 2 week break from the Barbies we tried giving them back a few pieces at a time.  This eliminated the mess of all the little piece and made it easier to put it back away whenever it started causing too much fighting.
I love that Sadie is still willing to pretend with her little sisters.  It's their favorite thing in the world
 when she plays with them.


Hazel attended a tea party with her sweet friend Everly the last week of August.
