First Day of School

Maris started school last week. She was so excited to go back and I'll admit I was looking forward to it myself!

Coordinating shirts for the first day of school.

Swim!

Maris took a round of swimming lessons this summer. The sessions are two weeks long. The first week, Maris refused to get in the pool. By the end of the second week, this is what we had!

We are so proud of her!!

I mentioned previously that, much to Maris's dismay, Paige doesn't usually tolerate playing dress up. (I wouldn't either. I mean who would enjoy their four year old sister yanking dresses over their head and poking them in the eye with tiaras?) Paige must have been feeling fancy today though. The girls had a good old time with a pair of hand-me-down dresses!

Curls!

Shenanigans

This is a pretty normal snack time for us.

Paige won't usually tolerate dress up. She must have been feeling generous this day.

Tangled

Maris has a little friend, Scarlet, whose birthday is right after the 4th of July. Her party this year was a Tangled theme. If you ask me, they knocked the decorations out of the park!

Rapunzel's braid. Hanging from the tower of the swing set!

Flynn Rider WANTED posters.

They had a Rapunzel impersonator come to give the girls dance lessons, read them a story, and give mini make-overs (which is why Maris is shimmering in some of the photos).

Despite the fact that it was 8,000 degrees everyone had fun!

This one is going to be trouble...

Scarlet's grandpa built the whole swingset by hand. It's made from cedar so it smells heavenly. It has TWO towers (one for each princess as her parents say) and check this out:
