purple room, and pumpkins

this past week, we've been keeping ourselves busy doing all sorts of productive things. since lucy will be starting school in about 3 weeks, the girls and i made a sign to hang backpacks and coats on (once it cools off a bit). i think it's really cute!

today, we painted the girls' room. it didn't really take that long, and it's adorable!
the girls and richie getting started...

the final result! it looks even better in person!



since our garden didn't do well (it died, except for 2 cucumber plants which are doing surprisingly well, thanks to the rain), we decided to plant some pumpkins last weekend. these are a couple pictures of the sprouts. because of the 3 inches or so of rain we've gotten this past week, they are growing really well! i'm so excited, and i hope we have some pumpkins ready by halloween! if all goes well, maybe we'll set up a stand in our front yard and have the girls sell some of our home grown pumpkins!

I love the purple! And you should post pics of the garden now!

And we are sad we missed the b-days and remind me tomorrow to give Lucy her present!
