2011 4th of July Part 1

With Stephen surprising his grandmother in Houston, TX for her 80th birthday party the girls I headed over Grammy & Grandpa's.  They, however, were still getting in from their trip to Maine so even though I made every effort not to be a "single" parent that evening it was still 1 versus 3 - the ultimate zone defense test of courage.

I was feeling frisky so i decided to let the kiddos play in the sprinkler out back.

Even more amazing, I was able to take pictures of the event!

Here's Grace, always willing to squeeze the life out of her sister.

 

Then, like any DSLR camera-toting mother, I made them pose in all their grassy glory. 

(I needed proof that I a.) let them do this and b.) had enough guts to get the pictures!)

 

I love P & G's faces in this one!

 Stay tuned for Part 2...
