Elli and I went to the Kettering Rec last Monday. We had a great time! She wanted some oce cream so I let her pick, and she chose this oreo covered ice cream bar. It was very messy, but thankfully she finished before the LOUDEST thunderstorm I have heard in a long time. It was a bit scary walking to our car trying to beat the coming rain.At one point during our day, Elli was watching a family with three or four kids playing together, got really sad, and then said to me, "Mommy, I wish I had a brother or a sister." I cried and then she said, "I mean I know I have two brothers, Michael ad Jesus, but I wanted to play with one now." I want the same thing for you baby girl, but I love playing with you!
Elli really wanted to catch lightening bugs. We got a jar, she put in leaves, poked holes in the foil, and I caught bugs:) She was quite delighted with the process though!
We got to spend another day with the twins while Leah "worked." She was so bot busy, that we really spent the day with Leah too, including a trip to the pool! (Luka, Wesley)
Elli is such a good cousin. She loves them and is very good with them.
Our garden has gotten very big. We have gotten cucumbers, onions, peppers, and peas. We will pick tomatoes and beans very soon. The cantaloupe are getting huge, just not ripe yet. We did have one of our large sunflowers fall over in the last storm. Sad times for the sunflowers:( Cannot wait for our melon. Hope it is yummy:)
Look how tall that flower is! To think this thing started from a seed. I have thoroughly enjoyed the gardening adventure and we have already started working on our plans for next year:)

This is a fun post and I totally want to eat Elli's oreo ice cream! Btw, I don't think I told you that I also think Elli did a great job with the boys when you guys were here! It was a great day!
aww, what a cute comment from Elli. She looks so sweet as the big girl cousin. All these boys are lucky to have her to take care of them! =)
