Today is the last day to sign up
for my Polka Dot Swap...
My sister flew home today. It was noteasy letting her go.
We are different in many ways. This weekwe discovered how much we have in common.
We can both roll our tongues. Can you?
We have the same sense of humor!We both need our quiet time, too. We
love the same movies (Goonies, Karate Kid,
Princess Bride), watermelon, Twilight,
Red Vines, hate clowns, baby leashes and
Celery Lemonade (inside joke).
Amy loved on Ruby this week,traded Silly Bandz with Mandy and
Katie and played a million board games
with them, too.
I beat her at Smarty Pants- this time.
She took amazing pictures and stayed
up late learning to make jewelry. She
is a natural, but I was not surprised.
Amy told me she just wanted to relax andhang with us. It was our pleasure.
I'm not big on fireworks at home but Ido love sparklers. Do you write your name
in sparkler? I do.
The 4th was lovely. We watched fireworks fromour backyard and it was awesome. Gorgeous
explosions rose above the trees. No crowds,
just bouquets in the sky.
Mmmmm....
We did have this much fun.
Memories are made of this.:)
Ruby hid in the van. Fireworks are scary.
My newest passion...
Sisters do grow up to be friends. 
Miss you, Amy.

Good Morning Lori
I enjoyed looking at your pictures so much. Auntie Amy's visit looks to have been such fun. I love the cute pictures of you both. Glad you enjoyed this special time together and made many memories you will all treasure forever. The cupcakes look lovely and oh poor Ruby and the fireworks. Loved your newest passion. Those cards are gorgeous.
Have a great weekend.

It's been ages since I've been here. Time with your sister was well spent! Any time cupcakes are involved, it is time well spent. ;) Those look super yummy.
I missed the deadline to your swap, and I'm bummed 'cause it sounds like fun!
Before I run off, your hair is GORGEOUS. I love it. I have curly hair, too, and I can appreciate the time that goes into making it pretty (it's so hard sometimes!!)
ok..so thanks for making me want to have T-A a sister..lol!!
how fun!!!
I also HATE clowns...eeeeekkkk.
What awesome sister time!! I am an only child and wish I had a sister!! But I have friends who are like sisters. Especially my friend Nancy! Your sister is as adorable as you!!! It's good to see the girls with her!! And of course Ruby is a doll!!
You are so blessed to have such a close relationship with your sister- I must admit I am just a little jealous!
Our little dog Daisy is terrified of fireworks too- she hides in the bathtub!
Lori,
That was such a fun post and brought tears to my eyes because sister stuff always gets to me : )

So sweet. Auntie Amy's visit sure looks fun! You guys had great fun on The Fourth! My kids love sparklers--I'm a bit scared of them myself. Love your newest passion, very cute!
Love all the pics with your sister and you and the girls together. I'm so glad you had such a great time with her!
Your newest passion is lovely!!! But this doesn't surprise me!!!
Looks like you had a wonderful time with your sister's visit! Thanks for sharing all your pictures! You also share something else...you're both very pretty ladies.
And yes, I can roll my tongue too! LOL!
Have a great week!
Lore, thank you for bringing our vacation to life! You were so thoughtful to put this together, and (*blush*) I'm only seeing this now because I had your new (um, I guess it's old now) blog bookmarked. Ack! Thanks again for all of the love and care you put into my visit. I wouldn't want to be anywhere in the world more than chez Drake. I miss and love you all so much. I'm getting rave reviews on all the creative projects you taught me! Wyatt is doodling away on his chalkboard and was kind enough to share with his younger brother.
