Tomatoes!

We planted some tomato plants this year for the first time. Kelsey liked watering them and watching them grow. We got about 10 big tomatoes this year. We're going to do some other plants next year in a bigger spot - now that we see how much fun it is!

Family

Kelsey and Kaitlyn have lots of family! This is a picture of their second cousin, Sarah's wedding. We all went to the wedding last weekend. It was fun to see all of the kids and brand new baby Parker. The girls are so lucky to have such a big family on both sides of their parents. Geography and the everyday demands of life and work definitely keeps us from seeing each other as much as we would like but family is always family!

Sunday School

Kelsey started Sunday School this week at church. She looks a little scared in this picture but she actually had a good morning. She even talked a little and told Miss Melissa about her dog. Kelsey and I went to church together -as Bob and I have given up on trying to all go together! Kaitlyn is just too fiesty to sit in a pew or hang out for an hour in the nursery. It's just too long for our little Kaitlyn to play in a little room.

Painting

Kelsey and Kaitlyn enjoyed some paint time while Bob watched football and I made dinner on Saturday.

Mums

Kelsey, Nana and I went to get Mums on Saturday while Kaitlyn napped. Next time, Kaitlyn will be along. Kelsey loved the flower place. They had a huge pond with tons of giant goldfish. Kelsey asked my to take her picture all over the place. "Get a picture of me in this chair mom!" Sometimes, she likes to pose for pics! How can I say no. She is so cute. They have an Autumn Festival at the flower place in October. We'll have to get Kaitlyn in on the fun next time!

Pirate Party!

Kelsey's friend, Conner, turned 3 this week. He had a Pirate Party on Sunday to celebrate. Kelsey loved going on a treasure hunt, having cake and playing with everyone. She was a little scared when a "real" pirate showed up at the party (Conner's Aunt dressed up).

Getting ready for Trick-or-Treat...

Kelsey and I were talking about trick-or-treating and planning her costume for this year. I got out Kelsey's old costumes to see if Kaitlyn took an interest in any of them. She said "Pooh" and wanted the whole costume on - including the head!! She was so happy. She giggled and patted her big Pooh Bear Belly. We picked out their costumes on Saturday afternoon. Kelsey is going to be a pirate and Kaitlyn is going to be Elmo. She loves Elmo.

Family Picture

Bob's sister's were both home over Labor Day Weekend. Amazingly, Bob was off work and we were all able to get together for a party at the Lenhart house. The girls had a great day spending time with their Aunts and Uncles. They have a new picture to hang in their bedroom with their aunts and uncles.

Frog on the Blog

The girls found this frog in their sandbox last week. It was the second time they found this frog. He's kind of memorable. He only has one eye and he has something wrong with one of his little front arms. Last time we found him, we put him in a bucket and he was our pet for the day. That day, we released him in the front yard under a shrub. Somehow, the one eyed, disabled frog found his way back to the sandbox. So we put him in a bucket, in the kiddie pool, and set him free that night. Kelsey named him "Michael" We'll be looking for him again.
