Fun Day!

Isabelle and I went to the scrapbook day yesterday and made these fun school days portfolios. There are folders inside to hold special papers from each school year. Isabelle's is the one with the white flower (which she made on her own), and Ava's is the other. Aren't they adorable!?





We took a family walk in the afternoon, and get this, locked ourselves out! How, you may ask. Well, a few days ago I thought we should change the pin number on our exterior garage door pad, and succeeded in erasing the old code, but evidently, didn't get the new code programmed in. So, we left, pushing the garage door button from the inside and jumping the sensor, only to get home and realize we couldn't get back in! No keys with us--I was trying to pick the back garage door with my hair clip (doesn't work FYI!). Finally, we noticed the window in our upstairs spare room was unlocked, so Beau ran over to the Pribyl's to borrow a ladder. (Thank you for the gatorade btw, we were soooo thirsty!) Unfortunately, their ladder wasn't tall enough, but, luckily, the Barry's across the street did!!! Yeah!!! They saved the day for us! Needless to say, after a day of Olympics and walking in the heat and then hanging out outside our house in the heat, we all slept well!!

The Olympics!!

The Olympics are alive and well in the Hunsaker house! For the last two weeks we've religiously been watching the Olympics. Yesterday morning I put the girls to work doing their chores. I came back to find them timing each other as they vacuumed the stairs and yelling to each other, "Hurry! Get the gold!!" It was pretty dang cute!





The games became more intense a little later in the day! They set up their own birds nest in Ava's room and had at it. Here they are diving.









Gymnastics.



Track and field.



Swim Dancing. (AKA Synchronized swimming!)





They're both gold medal winners! (Yes, the tin foil is silver, but they colored them gold with a crayon- I don't think it showed up.)

First Day of School!

Isabelle's first day of school was on Tuesday! Second grade, here she comes!

Ava has been missing her playmate this week. :(

Tea Party!!

With Dad out of town (again!), we decided to have a tea party dinner night. Isabelle made fun invitations, and we ate on the little table in her room. Isabelle got everything ready herself (with just a little help from me!). It was great--I didn't have to make dinner, the leftovers were cleaned out of my fridge (since my garbage disposal has been unavailable!), and we had tons of fun!




If you can't read this, it says, "Dear mom, I hope you can come to my tea party but we are not going to have tea." I got a kick out of that!
