This week Elle was out riding bikes with a neighbor.  This is the first summer the kids have had neighborhood friends. It is so nice to hear them running back and forth from each others houses.  We lived in the country with no close neighbors, save the grandparents, for the first four years of Elle’s life.  Now she is a big five and a half year old running with the gang!

Still she has her sense of style as noted in this picture.  Notice how the camo pants set off the purple and pink just so, with her summer dress blowing in the wind.  At least she is wearing shoes now, even if they are rain boots!

Check out more You Capture at I Should Be Folding Laundry.  Next weeks theme is Water.   I should get some good shots at King’s  Island this weekend.

I have to send the love over to FireMom at StopDropandBlog.com for this contest. It kept my kids busy when I needed them to be busy and we also are entered to win something and those who know me know that I love to win!  Check out this coloring contest for a Christmas DVD. This DVD would be great for the kiddos to watch while I wrap gifts….or take a bath!

While your cooking the turkey (or watching mom cook the turkey) the kids can be coloring up a storm and get in t the mood for the upcoming Holiday Season.

*This picture was colored by the famous Mita who made her first snowman just last year and cannot ever recall watching Frosty the Snow Man (did we really miss it last year?  Was I that busy?)
