fruit slush

* One recent night at bedtime I was tying up the girls' hair. Eldana and Abigia sleep with silk or satin scarves on their heads to protect their hair. That night Eliana (predictably) asked for one, too. I tied it on her head, with some of her long straight hair hanging down on both sides of her face. She looked ridiculously cute - I wish I'd had my camera handy. Eldana looked at her appreciatively and said 'Wow, Eliana, that looks good. You look more like a pirate, now."

*Last week during her swimming lesson Eldana heard me use the phrase 'freeze your pants off.' She thought it was hilarious. Today the girls were swimming in the inflatable pool in the backyard. Abigia was shaking with cold and Eldana called out, "Abigia is shivering her pants out!" Hahaha. Now that is hilarious.

I can't believe summer is about 1/2 over. We have been having a great time, but I feel like there's so much more I want to do. There is really not enough time in each day. Or this whole work thing takes up too much of my day. Oh! To be independently wealthy!
