FINALLY I finished those stupid purple shorties. LOVE them now that they're done. I'm not sure WHAT the problem was with me not wanting to knit them, but, it's almost as if there was bad "ju-ju" with them for some reason. THANK GOODNESS THEY'RE DONE!!!!!
I realized that Megan's now 3 months old and I had filled out NOTHING in her baby book. Not a single thing. I wrote a few things in there tonight and my goal is to spend just 5-10 minutes a day until it's caught up. Hopefully I'll find that time tomorrow.....
What else is going on here? Molly is growing like a weed! Since the beginning of the summer she's grown at least 2 inches! Just crazy how much she changes weekly. Here's my new favorite picture of her
She was just talking to a bug or something and it just makes me melt! I'm not sure exactly what it is that I love about this picture, it's just her!
We've been spending tons and tons of time outside this summer. We've been to Lake Elmo Park Reserve's man-made swimming hole and it's just the perfect place to spend a sunny day. Lots of clean sandy beach with a nice swimming area. Not too deep. In the middle it's not above Molly's armpits. We also went to my friend Kim's new house and swam in her pool. Here's a few pics from that day:
This one is my friend Kim, her son Ben, Molly, Seth and Megan:
This is where Megan spent most of her day snoozing in her little sunshade:
The kids and I went and picked blueberries last Friday. It was soooooo hot that day! Temperature was right around 99, but, the humidity was AWFUL!!! We picked for about 70 minutes and didn't even fill an entire 5-qt pail. The blueberries were soooo yummy right off the bushes! We ate blueberry pancakes, blueberry oatmeal, blueberry bread and muffins, and bowls of just blueberries. In less than 5 days Molly, Seth & I polished off every one of those blueberries. I love summer!!! Here's Molly and Seth with their buckets. Yes, Seth has pen all over his face. He was trying to draw whiskers.
We also went to the Ramsey Co. fair last Friday. It's one of the last free county fairs in the country and we had a great time! Molly and Seth rode all the different rides w/Dan. Dan's dad came and bought unlimited ride wrist-bands for the kids and Dan so they spent almost 2 hours straight going from ride to ride just having a BLAST!!! Molly and Seth both said the Ferris Wheel was their favorite. They were laughing for hours and just exhausted when we came home. Can't wait until the Minnesota State fair in just a month or so!!!

Megan and Seth
Molly must have spent 20 minutes feeding this cow. She was scared last year to do it, but, she sure loved it this year!
I think that's it for now...I probably should head to bed...I'll hopefully post more tomorrow!

Hi Jess!
Great pictures of the kids ... you're already doing much better at your blog than I have been doing with mine, LOL. I'm hoping to get DSL (if it doesn't increase our phone bill) once we move into the new house, and I bet blogging and everything will be a bit easier then. I have to resize every photo I want to upload beforehand and all that ... takes too much time. When is the Minnesota State Fair? We missed the Northern Wisconsin State Fair ... it was too hot, and we were busy with the house ... and then when I did finally decide to take them, both of the kids fell asleep and we missed the last evening. Oh well ... we couldn't really afford it anyhow. It looks like you're having a great summer. I hope those sun-filled days make up for some of the not-so-fun everyday reminders like the $$ post.
