Lots of pictures here, but here are some of the things we have done and lessons learned over the last two weeks...
Chloe decided to break in one of her new swimsuits (which she, rightly so, thought she looked "SO Cute" in) with a run through the sprinklers...
...but decided she enjoyed the air coming from the air conditioner more.

We learned that Noah cannot be left in the kitchen with food or treats anywhere nearby...
We experimented with letting a three year old coordinate her own outfit. Chloe started out really well at first.... 
...but took a misstep with the shoes. "Mom they are PINK!" - she was not happy that I did not think this look was as cute as she did.
Chloe tried Mom's patience in picture taking. My little stinker would smile and then pull the book up just in time to mess up the shot. Madeline, meanwhile, posed perfectly the whole time. I seriously tried this picture at least fifteen times, Chloe thought she was hilarious.
Finally after I gave up, Noah joined the party and they all posed for me. Now if only they would all be as helpful with cleaning up the mess they made!
We helped our neighbor Hilma pick yummy strawberries. 
Yes, Chloe it is okay for you to pick these, you don't have to make sure no one is looking first!
Hilma, helping Chloe with which ones are ripe enough to pick. Noah, not caring, just grabbing whatever he can get his hands on.
Yum! Strawberries are one of Noah's favorite things! 
You would think I would have learned this one several times over, but once again I found that a quiet child is not an obedient child when you are one. I appreciate the child's desire to be clean, but stealing the shampoo (I have no idea how he got it) and washing his dry head while clothed was a wonderful suprise to walk in on.
With all that you would think there would be no time left in a day, but Joe still found time to monkey around. Last night Joe, my 29 year old, responsible, father of two, decided to climb a tree to shake down the water (from the endless rain we have received) onto the kiddies below.
This 30 year old, responsible, mother of three (haha) is officially exhausted.
