Jenna. Aug 31. Headband Beauties.
Took Kennedy shopping for leotards for her first dance class next week… found these headbands on clearance and the girls decided they were just great, price and product tags and all.

Jenna. Aug 29. Winter Garden.
We’re taking the plunge! Kevin [along with 2 very helpful 12 year-old boys] built an 8ft. by 8ft. box. Today he planted broccoli, cilantro, tomatoes, lettuce, 2 kinds of green beans, & okra. I’m so excited to eat what will grow in our back yard!

Jenna. Aug 28. What’s this?
We went to the Producers’ Co-Op today. Kennedy picked up this contraption, mainly because it was pink, decided she wanted to wear it, and then said, “Mommy, what is this?” I told her to hold on a sec because I wanted to take her picture first.
Then I explained that it’s a horse harness. For a horse with a head as big as our tiny Kennedy.

Jenna. Aug 27. Future Teacher.
I hope her other students are more responsive than this one.
[Look at Cooper's eyes, like, "Seriously?"]

Jenna. Aug 26. Sweet Siblings.
Carlee has had quite a time adjusting to our new schedule since the school year started this week. I never really noticed how attached she is to her “Bubba” until he went away for Kindergarten. These pics represent a very common occurrence during lunch/after we pick him up from school.
I always wanted an older brother. I’m so glad my girls have one.

Kevin and I had a date tonight. He took this of me when we were eating at Square One.

Jenna. Aug 24. Pretty Kennedy.
Kennedy wanted to wear some of my make-up this morning. I think here she has a little powder and some lip gloss, maybe some eye shadow that also doubled as blush.
She does her own make-up. At least for now.

Colby’s first day of Kindergarten.
Oh my he’s so grown up.
He had a fantastic first day and can’t wait to go back.

[I never can take just one sunset picture, especially on the beach.]

Jenna. Aug 20. My birthday!
I am so thankful we got to go to the beach for my birthday weekend. The kids, Kevin & I joined my parents and my sisters for a few days. We hadn’t been all summer, and when we left we had already planned our next trip. To say “we had so much fun” would be such a trite expression, but it’s completely true. Although I couldn’t get my foot wet [so I didn't get to go swimming], I did put a big garbage bag over my foot so I could walk to the beach and hang out to read a book. Beach, book, seafood & family… it doesn’t get much better than that.
So, this is a pic Kevin took from his NEW iPhone4. I got to blow out a pillar candle. [rather, my beautiful children helped me blow it out] :) Then we had homemade ice cream and brownies for my birthday treat. YUM.
I think I finally “get” that birthdays and special occasions are more about Who and How-Often you spend them… not the What and How-Much.

Jenna. Aug 19. Foot Reveal.
And behind Bandage #1, we have…. the new left foot! Complete with not one, but TWO sets of stitches! [Don't worry, the yellow is from iodine, used to prevent infection. I'll clean with rubbing alcohol and it will come right off.]

Jenna. Aug 17. Rice Krispy Treats.
I haven’t made these in such a long time. I had forgotten how tasty these were… and my children share my affinity for the marshmallow-ey goodness.
