after a week of torrential rains, and another week of blistering heat, we FINALLY have sweet september weather.
(picture is of ruby with her best friend "bear bear")
the girls are both napping right now. how lucky am i?? they nap at the same time. actually, i hear frances laughing and talking in her little bed. she is so happy! this is how she wakes up most of the time. chatting to the ceiling fan.
ruby and i were playing today and she was making me icecream cake with her play kitchen. she was "raina" (one of her babysitters) and i was "jenna" (her cousin). ruby would narrate the whole thing like this; "do you want some more cake?, said raina". and i was expected to reply in the same way. it really cracked me up.
owen, from across the street, came over this morning to play, and ruby screamed "MINE" everytime he touched one of her toys. and if he could actually get one, she would chase him around the house screaming. she was quite the bully. it was all very traumatic for her, poor little bossy cow.
we went to the state fair, and as we drove there we were telling ruby about all the stuff at the fair. when we got in the gates, we asked her what she wanted to do first, and quickly flipping through all that we had told her, she decided "visit the cows". so we did. then she wanted to see bunnies, which we couldn't find. when we asked her what her first thing she wanted to eat at the fair was, she declared "icecream!" that's my girl.
