The Espejos

...we made Grandma Beth's casserole for dinner on Monday, and it did not disappoint. ...I have been taking lots of baths lately, with some amazing bath balls from Lush, and Char always asks me why the water is different colors. I dyed her bath water pink one night, and she was so excited about it. ...Gracie drew a family picture of us in a rain storm and hung it next to our bed. My favorite part is the check marks on top of our heads where she made sure she wasn't missing anybody. ...Charley put herself to bed every night this week. She keeps telling me that she's a "big girl and doesn't need to be tickled anymore". What? ...Grace had fire safety week at school where she learned all kinds of new songs and got to see Nick and the fire engine. ...Char got all ready for Staheli Farm on Saturday morning and looked so cute. ...Gracie played goalie for a bit during her soccer game Saturday morning and was the cutest. ...

Last weekend, we took our annual trip up to Staheli Farm with the Sebastians. We had the best time, as we always do, but this year was something special. They really went all out adding all kinds of different things for the kids to do and even had skeletons climbing around everywhere (which Char loved) .  We got our annual sister picture, and it's just as cute as ever. I ordered these outfits a few months ago just for the farm, and they were even cuter on them than I imagined. The kiddos were patient with us and took a group picture before heading off to explore. Love these guys and their sweet friendship so much! Charley had to potty, and we found a giant Minion on the way. We always call her Minion, so it was perfect. The kids played with the water at the rubber duck races station and loved racing each other. We went to the swinging ropes, and Char jumped right in. Grace was scared, but once she fell off, she was game. ...
