HOT.

Oh my goodness, it has been hot!  It has been way too miserable to do anything outside.  I can't even stand to go over to the new house for more than five minutes at a time because there is NO air flow going through there and it is just not pleasant. 

Therefore...we have been playing inside LOTS.  I took these one day this week.  After taking a few pictures, Mallory said, "No Mama, put camera down."  Haha!  I guess she is sick and tired of me taking her picture. 

She was putting 'juice' (it's actually an eggplant) in her baby's bottle

This afternoon we went to Mason's birthday party.  It rained just enough to cool everything off where the party was perfect.  He loves Mickey just like Mallory does.  His mom, Amanda, made these center pieces.  How creative?!  They were adorable.

They had a slide set up to go into a kiddie pool & it has a hit during the whole party!

See all the boys lined up going down the slide.

Even my extra cautious little girl went down the slide & enjoyed it.

& lastly, this morning we had our pictures done.  These two are my 'sneak peaks'.  I won't get to see the rest of them for about a week.  The one with the hat is my favorite, but I am anxious to see the rest.  I sure hope they will be worth the two hour drive we took.  The photographer specializes in children & she had awesome props.  She had a couple of amazing ideas that Mallory wouldn't go along with...but hey, she's two & how can you get mad with this face?!
