Olive picking!

Mushroom Walk

We went on a short, cold, wet, and lovely hike this morning at Sibly Volcanic Preserve. Lots of mushrooms were found, and at the end Molly modeled her "interested" look (and the headband/earwarmer that I knit for Clara!).

Puddles

There's probably a million reasons I shouldn't have let them play in this giant puddle. But, really, I couldn't say no to a big beautiful puddle after they had been cooped up all day!

Rock Star

August 17, 2012: For the last day of Molly's gymnastics/circus camp, the kids were asked to dress up as rock stars. Molly was delighted and quickly put together this awesome outfit (including writing "I rock 'n' roll" in tape on her shirt). But then, just as we were getting to camp, she balked. Suddenly she was worried that she'd be the only one dressed up! As a friend told me, peer awareness is totally appropriate for this age, but a little part of me felt sad that my fearless Molly was getting very self-conscious.
