The first week of school ended with a sleepover for Brielle (Tyler will have a sleepover another night so the boys can have a night without the silliness of the girls). All of their giggles, excitement, and conversations brought me back to the days when I was her age. It's an age when your biggest worry is who you were going to play with and what you were going to do. Getting lost in a world you created was the best part. These are memories they'll carry forever, even though these moments are so small and seem so insignificant. It's childhood, their childhood. And I had to capture it.
They started the night swimming. Those moody clouds overhead, poured down in the midst of their fun.
Much of the night was spent running around the house playing the 'mushroom game' with fitted bedsheets (they would run fast and then cover themselves under the sheet creating a little bubble house). This reminds me of the parachute game we played as kids in PE.
Waffle making...
and pineapple juice sipping (that's the best part of slicing pineapple).
It's hard to sit and be serious in our house.
Fort building isn't just for boys. This was the most cozy fort, the girls spent most of the next day in there.
August was forced to have fun in the fort too. Poor pup ;)
