I can't believe it is July...

I cannot believe it is July already! Where did June go? Here are some pictures from this past week.

Ivy's Grandmama bought her some crayons and markers made for young artists. Ivy had a great time scribbling on the paper. She also made sure to make a few marks on her face.

This is Ivy shaking the okra in a bag. She loved helping me with this.

Ivy "cooking" while I fixed dinner.

We got this sandbox from some friends a while back. We finally got it set up and filled with new sand. Ivy had a great time playing in it with her sand toys.

Ivy makes her toy plane fly. She even makes the flying sound while she does it. I'm not sure where she got that from - she points to the air planes that fly over our house so maybe she knows to make the noise since she can hear those planes.

Richard is selling these boots on ebay. We had to get a shot of Ivy in them before they go back in the box. I think one boot weighs as much as she does - they are so heavy.

While Paw Paw was here, we went to the Marbles Kids Museum in the downtown Raleigh. Ivy had a good time. I think she is a little young for most of the things there. But she enjoyed herself and tried out everything.

Stuffing a squirrel in the bird house.

I LOVE this picture. Ivy loves to splash - as you can see.

This is Paw Paw trying to light a fire by using a magnifying glass on the mulch. We could not believe how fast it started to smoke.

Pouring "tea".
