The story goes like this: I was checking blogs and Erina walked in. "Mom, I'm sorry to tell you this, but Taleah and I made a mess. Not a little mess but a big mess. We used up all the flour in the container and just couldn't stop because it was just too fun. I'm really sorry mom." The clean up process wasn't too bad until I got to the area in front of the sink and realized everything was wet. Ugh! And then it was trying to get the flour out of their hair. Ugly! Even when I showered them tonight (5 days later) I was STILL getting paste balls.
Taleah ran straight from the car into the ocean. Her favorite thing to do is jump the waves. She laughs and giggles and can jump for hours. Honestly! When her lips turned blue and her entire body was shivering I convinced her to take a snack break. That was the only way to get her out of the water, food.
There were so many cute beach pictures from today, but Erina was just facinated with all the different types of sea weed she was finding. This week started off hot and was supposed to get progressively hotter every day. By Tuesday it was 101 but instead of getting hotter each day it cooled off. We had planned this beach day early in the week thinking by Friday we would need a break from the heat but when we got there it was overcast and almost too cool. The girls didn't mind, of course. They LOVE water.
Watching the parade pass by. Small towns are so fun! A bubble blowing clown on rollarskates, a John Deere tractor, dancers, gymnists, motorcross club... you know all the good stuff.
This was $.20/gallon ago... Just a silly attempt to document the summer of 2008.
Megan walking at graduation. She LOVES being done with high school and has jumped into the young adult world/ward/life with both feet.
Taleah's silly pose. I have no idea where she got that from, but when I ask her to smile that's what her little hands think they need to do, too. This is the "Pin the Nose on the Clown" that we made for her 4th birthday.
David with the little girls in Aunty Tam's pool on the 4th of July. Taleah was thrilled that she could finally walk on the bottom of the pool and then Uncle Bill topped the pool off and she couldn't touch the bottom any more.

Great stories Mo. I LOVE seeing what's going on at your house. I also love the mess. They must be related to my children... So clever, so funny! Love you. and I guess we will see you in a month?!
It's about time you updated your blog!
That is a large mess. I bet they had lots of fun. I loved reading Erina's honesty. I can't believe Taleigh's 4 now, oh how time flies. Are you going to be in Utah in August? When maybe we'll be able to cross paths. :D
Wow, that IS a big mess! I'm sure it was great fun for the girls to get into the flour, but wow. :-p Sounds like you have all had a great month!
