Friday Fun!!

Today was low-key around here. Maggie had her 18 month appt this morning. The bad news is she got 3 shots uggh......not fun at all but the good news is she is happy and healthy!! She is a little on the slim side weighing in at 22lbs and 6oz. She has grown an inch and a half since May and is 32 inches long!! No worries about the weight though for as active as she is doc said she is fine!! The girls get to have a sitter tonight and Julia is soo excited. Here are some videos from this week. The girls are great with sharing food. Most days Julia shares her afternoon snack with Maggie and it is too cute not to share. They are sharing sherbet right now as I am typing this!! We also played in the sprinkler yesterday afternoon. It has come to my attention that our nice summer weather is going to come to an end soon so we are trying to enjoy the outdoor time we have left. The Ohio winter will be here before we know it!!

They keep us laughing that's for sure!!

Have a great weekend!!

Where did my summer go?

Normally (when we lived in the south), I would welcome the end of summer. No more heat, cooler nights, less bugs ect...but now when summer ends it is only a matter of time before we are into the freezing winter of central Ohio. Oh joy!! This summer has been lots of fun and very busy for the Morris Family.

While Mimi and Pop visited we saw this-

rainbow in our backyard.....

and we took wagon walks and did a little yard work (thanks Dad!!)

went to the zoo and rode the Merry-go-round....

and Mama and Daddy had date night....

Then later in the week Julia drew on her own face during a play date...

and also learned how to get Maggie into the baby doll stroller...

(had to get a close up--poor Maggie)

She loves it !!

We also had some fun in the sprinkler

caught her mid-throw

they loved drinking the water...

This is the face she would make as she let the water

spray her directly in the face. She would run face first into the water all the while making this face. They had a blast!!

Friday night my sweet hubby took Julia out and they braved the wild and went camping.
In a tent

and they stayed ALL night long. They marched out at 8:30pm and did not return until 6:15am the next morning. They had soo much fun.

Maggie had to stay inside with me and have a coke and a smile. I guess she was really upset with her daddy because she did not get to go on the "camping trip". She was so mad, that while Julia and I were at the movies on Sat afternoon instead of taking a nap Maggie did something BAD!! I will spare you the details and all I will say is that it required Wyatt to give her a bath, do a whole load of laundry and disinfect her room. This after a night of sleeping outside on the ground. What a guy!!
