When I was a little girl I had a Powder Puff and my brother had a Big Wheel.
One day I left my crayons out on the picnic table, and they melted and burned my fingers.
Another time I left my purple Miss Piggy watch on the picnic table overnight (even though I remember my Mom telling me not to) and in the morning it was floating in our little swimming pool, ruined. I always thought someone had come into our backyard and put it in the pool. Why would anyone do that? I thought it was so mean. But now I realize that it probably blew off the picnic table, and into the pool. Maybe.
A boy across the street used to give me puffy stickers, and one time I was playing on his swing set - he had the really tall one with the big slide and the bench/glider swing. When we were at the top of the slide he KISSED ME - on the cheek! And I was so mad. I slid down and ran all the way home and I think I told my Mom I was sick and I threw away all the stickers he gave me.
These were taken with my iphone. I've been really lazy with my big camera lately. But eh, it's summer.
I keep promising the boys we can set out some crayons to melt. We should do that, the sun is out today.


the pointed toe!!!
ReplyDeletei need to get big wheels for my kids. they are so totally a rite of passage.
xo
I love your summer memories.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you should put the crayons between wax paper. Then when they harden, you can peel off the shapes they've made.
Oh I love Ivy's outfit...so much! And I'm stealing Erin's idea about the waxed paper and melted crayons. Ah.... summer :-)
ReplyDeleteWith your iphone? Wow, that is talent! I would have never guessed.
ReplyDeleteLove the pony, the tail, the big wheel, the words... all of it!

Love that last one with the big wheel. So cute :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Love her little ponytail.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! :) I can't wait till I can put my little girl's hair in ponytails.
ReplyDeleteHer outfit is definitely beautiful and the pigtail...love.
ReplyDeleteI love that she's rockin the batman wheels (big brothers?).
Summer all over your shots.
It takes talent to ride a Big Wheel in a dress! I never could do it. Love all the tiny details in these shots.
ReplyDeleteIn this heat we're having in TX melting crayons would be easy. You could probably fry an egg while you were at it!!! Love the pics of Ivy and she looks so cute with her pony tail!! You're making want to try for a little girl with all these adorable picks of Miss Ivy!!!
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is amazing!
ReplyDeleteShe is absolutely gorgeous! And growing up so fast.
ReplyDeleteMelting crayons outside? Dang. It's hardly reaching 75 here.
I'm so totally jealous. I always wanted a Big Wheel but by the time I could pedal one I was too tall, what with being all giant and everything. I'm so hoping my kids don't suffer the same fate :)
ReplyDeleteWher did you get Ivy's Bloomers?? I just found out my 3rd Baby is going to be a girl, I already have 2 sweet Little boys . Now I get to dress a girl:) and I must have those..please tell me!!
ReplyDeleteCUTE! I had one of those too. They were the best!
ReplyDeleteWow, the peace this pictures send out is so comforting. Like nothing matters but the moment on the big wheel.
ReplyDeleteCarly,

ReplyDeleteand ive been SO lazy with my camera this summer also! too much work! too hot and sweaty to get the angles i want!
Love the summer stories along with your photos. Especially the boy on the slide.
ReplyDeleteI just refuse to believe that my dancing blissdom Ivy has grown up so much!
ReplyDeleteSiblings make for amazing life lessons ;-)
miss you
i know this is a you capture post, but i love everything you wrote here. so beautiful.
ReplyDeletewe are SOOOOOO big wheel fans here. great shots...very sweet.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are perfect summer shots. The colors, the activity, and the hair are perfect! Ivy is adorable; and your narrative is fun and interesting!
ReplyDeleteFor even more fun - grate some old crayons onto a white t-shirt and let it sit in the sun and melt (put something in the middle so they don't bleed throught to the back - like cardboard)It makes "cool designs"
ReplyDeleteThis is one of our favorite summer activities!
