Mini-golf

Mia and Leigh took advantage of the lovely weather to play a ground of golf in the front yard. Considering Mia's height, we'll say it was a round of mini-golf.

Come on, bird

Come on, bird. Why do you have to ruin swing time?

Washing her hair

I spotted Mia being all adorable, playing in the bathroom sink. This is how she tricks me.

"Oh, Mia, what are you doing, you cute sweetie pie?"

"Ohhhhhh. You're washing your hair with hand soap. Great. At least you're cute about it."

Run mama

I ran my second half marathon, and I'm just proud I survived. Really. It was rainy but not in a miserable way; it felt kind of cool and nice. But, you know, it's still 13.1 miles, which is super far for someone of my height and stature. Leigh and Mia greeted me along the way, and that was so motivating.

2012 Festival of the Arts

We love the Festival of the Arts!

Mia was old enough to shop in the Young At Art Mart this year. It's a tent for kids 12 and younger, and everything is $5 or less. It's only children and adult volunteers - no parents. Mia picked out something right away: a lovely flower print. All of the prints are provided by artists who are exhibiting at the festival.

We bought Mia a balloon, which immediatley lost air because the little clip thing broke. Leigh spent the rest of the evening blowing up the balloon and letting the air out on Mia. Hilarious.
