Camp Lilah and Gavin: Macie spent the night with Aunt Allie before going to Holiday World.  Lilah planned a whole list of activities for her to do with Gavin while Macie was gone.  They built a fort in the living room and had lots of fun playing in it!  Lilah also made cupcakes and they decorated them.

Girls Photo Shoot: The girls and I did a mini photo shoot one morning.  They love that I'm in more pictures with them and trying new styles of clothes.

Meet Charlotte and Early Father's Day Present

Charlotte Rose: Lilah came to me several months back and said she thought it was her turn to get her own pet.  After visiting pet stores and narrowing it down, she decided a cat was the best choice.  I am not a cat person at all, but I didn't want a rodent. We figured out some of the details, but didn't plan to get an actual cat until Lilah's birthday...in December.  When Lilah was in Sturgis, Grammie told us that her friend had kittens she was trying to get rid of.  I reluctantly went over to look at them.  And what do you know...we came home with a kitten!  After a quick stop at Rural King, we had the necessities.  Cats are a lot more independent and she is adorable, but I'm still not a cat person! I ended up spending the rest of the weekend setting up things for the cat and swapping the girls' bedrooms so that they could be separated.  Funny thing is, Macie loves the cat and it sleeps with her often!

Lilah is such a planner!  She made a list of things to do with her cat every day!

A New Grill: The kids and I surprised Daddy with money to buy a new grill as an early Father's Day present.  He had already picked one out.  I didn't realize that this was his first grill that he got.  All of the other ones were borrowed or left at our house.  He's thrilled and has already grilled several delicious meals for us!  Gavin and I put the grill together. He is great at following those types of directions and was so proud!

Another cute cat pic!
