where does the time go?

every day i promise myself that i will post pictures and blog a little bit…and every day i go to sleep without doing it.  apparently, taking care of a know-it-all toddler and an almost-mobile baby takes more time than i realize.  we’ve been busy this summer.  here’s a quick rundown of how we’ve been spending all of our time:

michael built this massive plaything that leslie loves.  lucy also loves it.

we bought a teeny tiny backyard pool, which is quite a hit with the younger miss forston.

on rainy days or days that are too hot to be outside we dress up in clothes that are too small and dance around leslie’s room.

leslie and mommy get matching pedicures.  fancy, huh?

on lucky days, the fedex man brings us presents.

we wait for daddy to come home from work.

we play hide ‘n’ seek.  lucy counts while leslie hides.

on very sad days we go to the pediatrician.  mommy promises leslie that she won’t have to get a shot.  obviously, mommy is a liar.  so, to make up for it we go to toys r us and spend $80.

we invite our neighbors over to swim…

and sometimes we make him wear a bikini.  he’s a good sport about it…just don’t tell his dad.

lucy cools down by climbing into the refrigerator.

we give ourselves, like, totally awesome hair-dos.

it’s a busy, busy place.  but it’s a good kind of busy.  the kind that makes you smile when you finally fall into bed.  we are blessed beyond measure, and that’s a great feeling to have.
