Boring post title, but there was so much going on today I couldn't fit it all in the subject line! First of all, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Todd, and Michelle are visiting this week from North Carolina! I am thrilled to have them here, and so are the kids! The moment we walk in the door, both girls run for books and a lap to sit in!
Then last night was the Orrville 4th of July Parade. Ashlyn 's gymnastics team was in the parade and she had so much fun! She did cartwheels and flips throughout the entire parade and was exhausted when it was over! Here are some photos from throughout the day!

Manicure....gone wrong!

Apparently Miss Ellie decided to give herself a manicure this evening as I was cleaning in another room. She snuck into my nail polish and painted her nails...and her hands, and her hair, and her face, and my bedroom carpet!!!!
Thankfully, despite our frustration, Eric had the brains to tell me to grab the camera and get some proof of her crime!
It looks like blood!!! I promise you, this is only finger nail polish, NOT blood!
I seriously have my hands so full with this child.....I don't know what I'm gonna do with her!!!

What a weekend!

We had a blast! Saturday was the monthly Arnold brunch- we hosted this time down at the lake. Joey brought the boat down and everyone took turns tubing and wakeboarding! It was such a joy to hear the sqeals and laughter...and not only from the kids!!! Then Sunday we went to Walnut Hills Park for their basketball tournament and picnic. Eric was a ref for the tournament, I took tons of photos, and we had fun. Then to celebrate my wonderful husband on Fathers Day we went out to dinner at Longhorn. It was a great way to end a wonderful weekend! :)
Here are quite a few photos to walk you through our fun!!!
