All about Molly!

Monday was a day filled with Molly! Molly's field trip, Molly's bridging ceremony for Daisies and just loving Molly! Naturally, she deserves every minute of it!
I try not to be offended when the kids all want Bob but we both took the day off to be with Molly on her field trip and she only had eyes for her Daddy! I'm okay with it, I guess, he is sort of special!Molly and Savannah - you will soon realize that Savannah really likes to be in pictures and she really likes Molly!My girl balancing and concentrating very hard.Daddy gave a little bit of help.I know she looks a bit sad in this picture but her beauty just amazes me!And there's my girl with her beautiful smile.Molly and her best friend Chassidy. These two just light up when they are together and one is as cute as the other with those big smiles.And then Savannah wanted to get in on the picture.Kamyra is another close friend fromMolly's class. She is a doll.Molly and Chassidy. They are the tallest and the shortest in the class.And Savannah ran over to get in that picture too!The girls playing frisbee with Bob - I sat on the bench watching and Bob spent the entire time playing tag and frisbee with the kids! No wonder they think he is the fun one!Bob went to a dinner on Monday night because my Dad got an award. We realized that with Molly in her Daisy uniform and Bob all dressed up they were just like twins - Molly was more than happy to pose for some pictures with Bob!I love this one!And just because the day was about Molly doesn't mean Ann won't get in on the action!Annie loved being out in the yard.Molly picked out this rose bush the year Annie was born and loves when it blooms each year.At the same time that we got molly's rose bush we got this one for Annie. This is the first bud of the year.Molly is ready for her bridging ceremony.KK and Auntie Meg came to Molly's ceremony and she couldn't stop looking back at us!Molly was so happy!Walking over the bridge from Daisies to Brownies.Getting her brownie vest.Having some snacks with Korin, Peter and Annie. I never got a picture of Korin and Molly together even though Korin gave up her plans for the night so that she could be with Molly. Apparently this is how Annie dresses when she is with Auntie Meg. Too cute!

It is official - the kids are out of school for the summer. They couldn't be happier and have already started their plans. Auntie Ann took Molly and Annie out today and now we are doing crafts, crafts, crafts! Pete is going to spend the night with Grammy and Papa tomorrow - what lucky kids to get so much attention! This weekend we are going to get moving on our garden - Auntie Ann even got us birdhouses and a duck for the garden - I can't wait! GNM - ILY!

Last Week's leftover pictures!

I lost the cord to my camera so I can't upload new pictures! These leftovers will have to do for now! If you want to know what the world's greatest grandparents do with five of their granchildren on a Monday morning check out Papa's blog - how did we get so lucky?

Lizzie and Ellie in the new (to us) jogging stroller! They loved it!
The best place in the world to fall asleep - right on Papa!


This isn't a bad place to fall asleep either! Just ask Lizzie!

Ellie was loving having Daddy to herself but not ready for sleep yet!

Annie had her hair in a bun and looked adorable!


Her pout - she makes her mother proud!



I came home to find that Auntie Meg had put Lizzie's hair up in pigtails - I couldn't take my eyes off of her for the rest of the day - how cute!
Ellie is still loving being in the swing - it is one of the only times when she is just totally relaxed and chill.
Our ballerina baby!

Grammy and Papa stayed home from the beach this weekend to attend oodles of parties so we took advantage of the empty cottage and headed to Westbrook. Here's the thing about the beach house - we thought we loved going there for the beach, the house and the to get away from things but it turns out that for us - and especially for the kids - the draw is Grammy and Papa. They spent the entire weekend asking for their grandparents and asking if we could go home to see them.
We didn't have our normal baby equipment so we made due with blankets and toys from the diaper bag! Ellie loved it!
Daddy and Lizzie snuggling in Papa's chair!

We let Pete take Annie for a walk all on his own!My Mommy heart was just bursting as I watched them - he stopped to show her flowers and bugs and anything else he could think of. All of the neighbors stopped them to say Hi and he was so proud!


Ellie was trying to make her escape!
Daddy and the kids checking out the dead stingray!
My beautiful babies!
We had a wonderful day at the beach - it was a perfect beach day. Ellie was cranky all weekend - probably because she got a tooth! YEAH! You won't see many pictures of Ellie because she literally cried all weekend!
Banana loves the beach but was unsure about getting in the cold water!
Daddy and the girls!


Our beach baby!
The original beach baby - he could not get enough of the beach - swimming, surfing, skim boarding and checking out the bottom of the ocean with his goggles. He is just amazing!Molly and Daddy - I don't let Molly wear bathing suits that show her belly - unfortunatly this is from last year and did NOT show her belly last year - she grew a few inches and now there is a 5 inch gap. It was the only suit she had so we made do!Heading out to the sandbar.2 minutes later daddy realized the sandbar was disappearing and that Pete would be carrying them all back on his surfboard if they didn't head back quickly!Lizzie Mack and her Daddy!5 kids in Papa's chair!Hanging on the couch!Guess what we had for breakfast?
We ended up coming home early and the kids went to play at Auntie Karla and Uncle Pat. Bob and I put the babies to bed and then got all of the chores we needed to do done........or we read for 5 minutes and both fell asleep! Do you think less of us or are you just jealous?
GNM - ILY!
