• Two girls playing

  Edited to add another photo – of the girls’ ventures into polymer clay.  They did quite well, with little to no help from me. 

  Second edit: Jennie and Rachel are the daughters of my nieces Cathy and Robin, respectively. Robin and Cathy are Hazel’s oldest and middle daughters. Got that, Jane?

  Jennie and Rachel haven’t had school for the past couple of days and they’ve been hangin’ here.  This morning they asked to take my camera outside for a bit.

  Here’s the result:

  

  Not bad considering it was a self-portrait for one of them.

  Then we have Jennie on one of Uncle Faron’s bikes:

  

  And then Rachel giving her … well, it makes me think of when Jason used to run around the house, throwing up his leg in a karate type kick and yelling, “Hun foonya HAH!”

  

  And then each of them took a “spin” on the tractor, it seems.

  Jennie:

  

  Rachel:

  

  They’ve been great – helpful and they get along so well.  And clean up after themselves, too.  What more could a proud aunt want?  And they both had excellent report cards. 

  EDIT: The girls were here yesterday, too, and worked all morning to cover Altoid tins.  Due to our very own series of unfortunate events, the covers burned nearly to a cinder.  We ripped that off and today they tried again, with brilliant success, if I do say so as a proud auntie. 

  

  The pink one is Jennie’s and the blue is Rachel’s.  The ones yesterday were very similar.

  Both girls applied Liquid clay to make the clay stick this second time, Jennie applying large amounts.  We had PRY it open!

  We all had fun.
