Busy, Busy Bees

I feel like we have been so busy for the past month or two and I keep telling myself to stop and smell the roses. I finally made time to update the blog and then I realized I had taken almost 800 pictures since the last update. We really have been busy! I tried to narrow it down but hopefully the miles and miles of pictures on this post will tell ya what we have been up to here lately.

Make A Wish Princess for a Day Fundraiser - Salie loved getting fixed up!

The girl doing Elliott's hair seemed to have lofty goals for those sweet girls but settled with a cute ponytail.

Elliott was excited from the start

Our water only child requested chocolate milk and drank a whole glass

Mommy says today is Opposite day at school but Elliott thinks I'm crazy

Salie had to learn a lesson this day...If Mommy tells you it is too hot for boots & pants....then it's too hot for boots & pants!
