Fancy Nails & Bomb Pops

Lilly’s friend Piper leaves a few houses away from us, so whenever they have a sleep over, they come to visit. Tonight they had to show off their stupendous manicures. The photo couldn’t capture the magnificence. They were like iridescent marbles. And, of course, they had to taste test the Bomb Pops I bought for Lilly’s upcoming patriotic Backyard Olympics Party (on hold due to heavy construction on our road). They caressed the treats with paper towels to protect their nails. So adorable. I love these times with them. Piper even hugs me good-bye like Lilly. They eventually headed home to check on Piper’s rabbit and tree frog. Such busy little zoologists. During our visit, Lilly and Piper told me Piper’s mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I don’t think either understand the implications enough to be alarmed. Lilly hass just gone through this with Mollie, so I think she will be a good and hopeful friend to Piper throughout this healing process.
