birthday celebrations and summer fun

maddy and odessa blowing up balloons, those girls have some powerful lungs....

merry go round and round and round and round and round and nobody has died on one of these yet.....

ready to go to the farmer's market.... can you see Maddy's leftover butterfly face paint mask

kind of odd picture of maddygirl, but it does show her beautiful butterfly face paint mask she got at the zoo.... we waited in ninety degree weather for over an hour to get this done.... she was so excited and determined to wait... it was pretty impressive and i was so glad she really did get it because we were one of the last ones, the artist stayed past her official time to finish us up because we'd waited so long, what a nice gal! she was there as part of the celebration for the new lion home at our zoo.

a typical scene at our house at any given moment. she loves to read in the nude, what can i say?....
