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!!

These two are ........


...up to no good!!

I will have to get a video but just imagine this one when she gets in trouble- she has started blinking those BIG brown eyes real slow and pretty!! It is hilarious...






Sharing the rocking horse
Things have been CRAZY since we got home from "down south". It seems like this summer is flying by because we have been going non stop. Julia is doing another VBS this week in the mornings. She loves it and has been having a blast. I have had a few play dates with my friend Jill -who just got back from the Dominican Republic where she was on a mission trip. Sunday I took Julia to a community theatre to see "The Wizard of Oz". It was great!! Jill's oldest daughter Emma was in it so it was really fun to see her on stage. Jules sat in my lap the whole 2 and half hours because "the witch is scary and LOUD". Friday Maggie and I are trying out a class at The Little Gym. I feel strongly that she will LOVE it and we will be signing her up in the fall. She has seriously turned into a hands/eyes must be on her at all times child in the past few weeks. I am amazed more everyday at her fearless personality. She is strong willed and has feisty temper too. They are polar opposites of each other and it is soo funny to watch. They are GREAT at sharing food and treats. Anytime Julia has something to eat she shares it with Moo and she loves doing it too. Julia can even feed Mags in the car. We mastered this art while on our 12 hour car adventure a few weeks ago. It comes in VERY handy!!
Wyatt left for Florida today so we are missing him alot (especially during the hours of 5-7pm)!! Hurry home Daddy!!
Next week we start to get ready for the big wedding weekend in Louisville, KY. My little brother, Russell, will be getting married to Aunt Callie and we can't wait!!!

This on lasted 45 min and it was her only one too!!
