Favorite person

 

Yeah, I love my sister. And I get jealous when she plays with boys. I'm supposed to be her favorite boy.

Trees

Are meant for climbing.

Leaving

NN: Can I take you home with me?

n: You'd have to ask Mamma and Daddy?

NN: Why?

n: They'll probably say no.

NN: I think you're right.

e: (sigh)

Auntie Susan

e: Why are you staring at me? 

Heart strings

e: The reason we come and cuddle you in the morning NeeNee, is because we love you sooo much.

Bike

Hand me down bikes are good. They fit. Helmets? I'll be able to hand-down mine to Nina. Had to get an 8+ helmet to fit my huge head. 

French Park

Walking in water. Throwing rocks. NeeNee. Dragonflies and leaves. Stacking rocks. Floating leaves. AWESOME DAY!

THE BEST DAY EVER!

 

 

I stayed home from zoo camp with NeeNee, and after it rained I was IN A PARADE! I walked with all my soccer teammates. And we had a HUGE inflatable soccer ball. And I threw out candy to people and waved. And saw my friends from soccer and school and summer camp and neighbors and IT WAS AWESOME!

Zoo camp

M: Nina, how was zoo camp?

n: It was AWESOME!! But it's no fair that I have to go and not stay home with NeeNee.

Ditto

NN: Nice drawing.

e: I'm an artist. And a scientist. 

Brains and self-confidence

NN: There's a lot of things you can teach me. But there's probably a lot I can teach you too. 

e: No. I'm smart. I don't need you to teach me. 

NeeNee's here

e: I love you NeeNee.

n: I love you when you're here because you're funny. 

e: My favorite part of NeeNee being here is because I can wake her up super early.

Comedienne

M: How was it with Daddy while I was away?

n: Well it was kind of a heart attack, but we got through it.

Slip and slide

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running and throwing ourselves on the ground so we can splash our faces in water? Hmm. No thanks. We'll take the pool and sprinkler back thanks.

Princesses come in all types

Money shot

 

Child versions.

Family of artists

Our uncle is a clothing designer. Our aunt is a graphic designer. Our Daddy is a music designer. Our NeeNee is a word designer. And somewhere in the Scandinavian relatives are artists and furniture and accessory designers. So it runs in the family. Too bad it skipped Mamma.

Delinquency

What? There were forgotten photos on the camera from the last month? This is unacceptable.

Weekend fun at home
