Snapping beans



So Hannah and Bekah were helping us snap beans today. They were being great helpers. Hannah was even "walking" a bean around the rim of a bowl and then it would fall in and Bekah was absolutely cracking up!





















A few months ago while I was pitching whiffle balls to Hannah and perhaps mistakenly taught her the old Little League chatter: "We want a pitcher not a belly itcher" Answered by "We want a batter not a broken ladder." So out of nowhere today she starts singing this while she's snapping beans. And I'm getting a huge kick out of it (Stephanie, not so much!).

While I'm enjoying her chatter, I start falling behind on my snipping duties and she's running out of beans to snap. And she makes up a new verse for the song: "We want a snipper not an itchy bitcher" (She was just rhyming, of course, she doesn't know that's a bad word).

I am on the floor laughing.

Summer fun



Not sure which of the girls enjoyed last week's trip to the kiddie pool more. Hannah was going down the slide and getting in the water up to her neck. Bekah was swimming around "like a shark." And Sophia was splashing and getting splashed and loving every second of it.
