It has been a CrAzY hOt summer yet somehow Dalton always finds a mud puddle to play in...probably because this mommy has spent her summer watering all of the lovely new landscaping from this year and the trees from last summer so that we don't lose them to the hEaT wAvE! Therefore Dalton is helping or has the hose or sprinkler all to himself...SCARY! But he loves it so I love it because it makes him so stinkin happy to just be making mud puddles, jumping in mud puddles, making muddy hand prints and footprints all along the sidewalk...that's my favorite part!

Dalton's muddy hand prints...I just couldn't wash them away! |
A couple of posts ago you may remember that Dalton and mommy started a pumpkin patch...well it's growing and growing! It's even bigger than the below picture now...I am thinking that mommy may have planted too many seeds...it still seems crazy that all of those twisty vines, yellow flowers and now pumpkins came from those tiny seeds!

It's not the prettiest spot in the backyard but boy are we excited when we find tiny pumpkins in there...it's like a big treasure hunt! |

This past weekend we found one of the tiny pumpkins...please remember we planted 3 different sizes plus misc. gourds! Who knows what all we will be harvesting in the next 30 days or so! He was SO PROUD of his pumpkin he took it everywhere he could and has shown everyone who has been over to our house! I am impressed that he is still interested almost 2.5 months later:) |
This is the second summer in a row that butterflies have come and laid eggs on Grandma Beverly's parsley on her patio. And we get to watch them hatch and turn into caterpillars and grow and grow and grow...and then turn into beautiful butterflies! Well so far only Grandma Beverly's have left their chrysalis...ours are still hanging on. Grandam Beverly got to release 2 butterflies today...we are keeping a close eye on ours and hope they break out soon!

It's hard to take a picture of this little creature in his BIG glass jar...so this is as good as it gets:) |
