RIP Dundah

Well, he made it a few days... Oh well. Hopefully Ga will stay with us. We'll go to the pet store this weekend and pick out some new fish. One will probably be named Dundah again...

Meet "Dundah" and "Ga"

Fair fish. We went to the Montgomery County Fair today and the girls had the quintessential fair experience - pony rides, corn dog, lemonade and won fish! Megan was SO excited. She held the bag all the way home, helped me pick out the fishs' new home - complete with fake plants, pink gravel and a lobster "toy" for them to play with. Cost $7 at the fair and $30 for supplies - but her face watching those fish was priceless!

Megan uses the word Dundah and Dundee (made up words) when she doesn't remember the words to songs, is pretending to read, etc. I guess instead of "La La La". Not sure where it came from. So it seemed to be an appropriate name for her fish.

Kate's was named when we asked her what her fish's name was, and she exclaimed "GA!". So there it is.

Dundah is silver/grey and Ga is all orange. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that they survive for a little while at least!

She's all ready!

We bought Megan all her stuff for dance class this fall - ballet shoes, tap shoes, leotard, skirt. She was so excited to try them out. Isn't she just the cutest?

Face, meet sidewalk

Poor thing face-planted on the sidewalk on Friday. Banged up her head and scraped her nose. Ouch! She's fine, though. Totally forgot about it after about 2 seconds.

Peach picking and potato digging

We took the girls up to a local pick-your-own farm over the weekend and dug our own potatoes and picked peaches. I think the best part was letting them each gnaw on a peach on the way home. So sticky and messy - but that's the best part of summer, isn't it?
