This past weekend we went to Foley’s first football
game! The girls had fun playing around,
Maggie found one of her buddies from school.
Unfortunately, Maggie bit it hard while playing under the
bleachers. She banged up her knee and
elbow pretty good… then she poked herself in the eye that night… the girl is a
walking-accident lately – Jamie and I were almost thinking we should get her
checked out! Injuries have subsided for
now, just hoping that she is going through a growth spurt and is getting used to
her limbs!

Evie’s vocabulary is ever-growing, and I just love listening
to her talk lately. I keep trying to get
conversations on camera, but she is not a willing participant! Here's a little bit:
Maggie visited her new preschool room this week and “met”
her new teacher who she knows pretty well from last year. Maggie says that she’s excited but a little
nervous about her new school year because she doesn’t know all the rules
yet. I’m a bad mom and forgot to get a
picture…

Since we cut back to one day per week with daycare during
the summer, Evie had a hard time adjusting and saying goodbye in the
morning. We are now back to three days a
week, and she seems to be doing better with the transition (though a little
depressed when I leave).

Maggie’s favorite homemade meal (not counting junk food
dinners) is meatloaf and Mom’s homemade cheese (a.k.a. shredded cheese
purchased from the store). One of our
favorite desserts is to make s’mores in the microwave (sooo classy)… Maggie thought
they were called smurfs, and so we now refer to it as smurf dessert. Evie is all over the place with food…
sometimes she’ll eat everything I make, other times she’ll eat two bites of
fruit and be done for the night. Milk
and yogurt are always a pleaser though.
She always begs to have dessert along with Maggie, but usually just
leaves it all on the table after one bite (not sure she’s my daughter).

Here is a video of Maggie being a sassy-pants. Jamie often offers Maggie a quarter if she'll walk on his back, and now she thinks you need a quarter to get someone to do something...
