A Day in the Life this Summer

The weather has been sooo hot and Emma has been stuck in the house with Mommy most days. We did have the opportunity to go to the pool with Aunt Amy and the kids last week and Emma LOVED the pool and playing with all of the kids. Emma has been really fun and has been playing all day long with her babies and animals. Here are a few pictures to capture everyday life around here right now. Along with that, here are a few of the priceless observations/statements that Emma has come up with recently (I really wish I was doing a better job of keeping track of them).

"Mommy, Daddy at work. Jesus at work today tooo."

"Mommy has a boo boo."
"No, Emma. Those are freckles."
"I hold one..."(and tries to pick one off)
"Emma, they don't come off."
"Why, Mama?"
"Because that is how God made them."
"Jesus put them on Mommy's arm."
"Yes, Emma, He did!"

Emma has been putting all of her babies in the corner behind the recliner and playing there all day long. We made a house/tent today for her to play in. She thought that was so funny.

I just liked this picture

Emma put all of her "friends" aka her animals behind the chair and declared that it is the zoo. She spent the entire day telling me that she was going to the zoo.

Each time she went to the "zoo" she took her baby "Lucy" in her cart with her purse.

While at the "zoo" she decided that the ottoman was the train and would sit there with Lucy and say Choo-Choo.

Emma has a table in the kitchen now and is able to eat lunch there. During lunch yesterday she got her teddy out and gave him a plate and spoon and shared her broccoli with him.
