Summer Came Early . . .

The south got the memo too early this year that summer is here!  It's been in the 90s this week.  So I decided it was time to get some yummy summer veggies at a local farmer's market.   The girls and I went on Saturday morning and got all of this for $19.  Emily picked out the watermelon herself and did a great job:

They were giving out balloons at the market and Abigail never let go of hers.  She cried during nap time and bath time when she had to hang her balloon on the door.  At bedtime she sat in Emily's room looking at books and held on to her balloon the whole time.  After Abigail went to bed we popped the balloon so she wouldn't have a meltdown on Sunday morning:

Since Abigail didn't get to wear her Easter dress on Easter morning, she wore it this Sunday.  Dee Dee made this beautiful dress for her:

On Sunday, Emily gave me a pretty Mother's Day card that she picked out all by herself.  She was so proud of the pretty flowers on the front. 

That afternoon we went to a local mall and rode the carousel.  You can't tell in this picture, but Emily really is happy that we were there:

Abigail decided she didn't want to ride on the animals.  She was content to just be on the carousel.  So we rode around while she pointed to all the animals and jabbered away:

 

It was so hot on Wednesday that we decided to pull out the pool.  We filled it up in the morning and let the sun heat the water.  It took Abigail a while to decide to get in the pool:

 

But once she got in that was all it took.  She didn't want to get out:

The first thing she said to me when she got up from her nap was "poo . . .poo".  So the girls spent late afternoon in the pool also.  Since Abigail skipped her snack to get in the pool, she was starving by dinner time and ate everyone's corn:
