Quotes

Quote from Marlo:
Driving home in the car she was mumbling to herself in the back of the car then she said, "Mom. I need to do an experiment and I need a potty that no one uses to do it. It needs to be one no one uses because this experiment might clog the potty."
Upon further questioning I find out she REALLY wants to flush leaves down the toilet to see what happens. Quite the scientist!

And Louis:
At dinner they were resisting what we served so Sean proposed that they come up with meal ideas. The rule was that each meal has to have a vegetable. Chef Louis said,"How about macaroni and cheese with salad on top of it with ranch on top if that! Now, THAT is a vegetable!"


Louis likes pretending to be a dog and asked me to build him a dog house.  After playing in it for about 2 minutes he came out and said "Can you build me a think in the ceiling that blows air? Like an air conditioner?" Just when I thought my craft skills were good enough...
(On another note- Amazon Prime Pantry is worth it just for the giant box!)

Throw back to an old quote from Marlo... "We don't have a dog, we just have Louis."

Summer Fun.

Sno-cones and bees.

Marlo spent all week at Nature Center camp and requested to go first thing on Saturday morning. She was a great tour guide.



Why didn't I just put them in swimsuits?

camp picture- catchin' tiny frogs.

We hiked in to Hamilton Pool. The recent floods made it unswimmable (some bacteria thing) but it was still worth the walk.






Schlitterbahn with Logan!  We celebrated the last day of summer with a trip to the water park.
