Chalk, chapstick and "bikes"

Although we homeschool year round, this summer has been extremely light due to the fact that I am taking a few photography courses and helping out my hubby with his business.
That has left lots of time for chilling out at home for the two dumplings.

On this particular day, Madeline got in a little dance practice as well as some cuddling on the couch with her brother.

Then it was time to head outside for some fun with chalk.

While Caleb was drawing a rocket, Madeline asked him to draw one for her...this big.
I love how she got chalk smeared on her cute, little face.

The back of my minivan is always a great place to chill.

Caleb and his masterpiece

As I mentioned in my previous post, Madeline had her dress rehearsal and dance recital this week.  She also had her last dance class of the year.  After coming home from class, she wanted to play outside but first needed some "glittery chapstick". She is all girl.

Then it was time to ride.

She had to change out her glittery shoes for dressy shoes. 

She enjoyed getting pushed by big brother.

Then, of course, big brother also wanted to ride.

Well, I'm happy to report that I edited these photos in Lightroom.  Can I just say that batch editing ROCKS!  I'm really kicking myself that I didn't get Lightroom sooner, but I'm trying not to beat myself up over it.

And if you're wondering about Madeline's dance recital, have no fear.  I will post photos from the big event soon.  I took a bunch of photos from the performance that I still need to go through.  So hang tight.

And how did she handle the performance?  Well, I think she did great!  She remembered her routine and shook those hips like a champ.  We are so proud of her!  And let me tell you, this girl loved being on the stage.  She didn't want to come down!

Although I'm not participating in Sunday Snapshot this week, I thought it would still be fun to link up.
Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday!
Stay cool and have fun!
