marshmallow

In honor of Kennedi's 1-month celebration, we spent most of the day outside in the sunshine. Today was even nicer than yesterday. Its been my favorite summer day yet!!! Adelie & I spent part of the day trying to save my flowers. I am happy to report, they are looking good! They just needed a little love & some pruning...and maybe a little (or a lot) of water. She was a good little helper (sort of!). She was pretty cute with the watering can. Nate thinks I'm awful at taking care of plants, but I'm determined to prove him wrong. Nate set up the "tent" for the girls, so little Kennedi could daydream in comfort! We played our first bocce game of the summer. We played to 12. I was up 6-2 and Nate went on a 10-1 run, and beat me 12-7!!!! I thought I had it. Maybe next time. We have a good yard for bocce. Again, Adelie showed off her helper-skills. She loved chasing after the bocce balls. Fun, fun.  

We are now sitting on the patio. It is a beautiful night. The smoky-joe is lit up and Nate is about to make us a wonderful dinner. Adelie is a wild woman tonight. Lots of sun for this little one!! She is snacking on a marshmallow right now...correction...what I meant to say is she has an entire marshmallow in her mouth right now & marshmallow drool running down her chin. *note: we do not normally keep marshmallows in the house...but we're planning on s'mores soon. Yikes! Fun night at the Cartwright home!!
