Max and Kira

Rainy day fun

Despite the gloomy weather, we had a lot of fun all over the place today.

Max only woke up twice last night. That statement is not sarcastic, because those two wake-ups were only minutes, as opposed to hours, like the previous night[mare]. Once Max was awake in all his glory, he demanded to do an "art project!" He did not specify, "face painting", but that is obviously what he had in mind, as he marked up his face AND refused to clean it off all day.

Kira's first time at Chibis indoor playground. She had a lot of fun; her favorite part was watching the big kids.

Post nap art project...

Special dinner with Jake and Kate to find out if Jake is getting a little brother or sister. It's going to be a girl! Pink icing laden cake was enjoyed by all!

It was way past Kira's bedtime, but here is hoping this double bath leads to a double sleep-in-past-6am

These bath giggles washed away all of the rough parts of the day

Graduation

Max went back to Miss Miranda's this afternoon for a graduation party! Avery and Max serenaded the parents with, "It's a Small World", as they wore their mortar board caps and proudly held their diplomas. It was such a cute celebration, especially since they are simply graduating from a small, home daycare to a bigger daycare, but every milestone is special.

Max was so proud! He could hardly wait for mommy to open his report card, which could not have been more exemplary. It seems that Max shows ZERO hints of his 'threenager' self at school.

Max felt much better this morning, after a horrid night of three marathon wake ups. Most notably, he was awake from 3:30-5:30am begging mommy to go to the farm. He finally snoozed until 6:30am, at which time he woke up to make a list of animals that we will see at the farm. This evening he remembered that he forgot to list 'rooster', which is clearly the early-rising animal that Max is most atuned to. Max found the portable DVD player before bed and brought it to mommy while she was putting Kira to sleep. "Mommy I need to look up what time the farm will open on this patio [ipad- that was actually a DVD player].

Kira loves broccoli! She is really enjoying feeding her self.

In an effort to wear these two out, we headed to the pool for an evening swim. We were the only people there, so Max was a bit bored, unlike the other day when we had a conversation that went a little like...

Mommy: "Max we can stay for 10 more minutes."

Max: "NO! FIVE!!"

Mommy: "Sure!"

Let's go swimming!

When we got home from the pool it was almost bedtime. Max decided it was time to "go to work". His mind never stops. Ever.

Playground hopping

Since they wake up at 5...something, these two have plenty of time for morning walks and playground exploration.

Watching Max slide down the pole

Max climbed up the ladder, "I rescued Kira!"

This little tushy does not want to crawl

Someone came home from camp with quite a fever

Even with a 102 fever Max was back to his silly, snacking self.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Kira is the cutest baby of them all!

Good thing Kira likes the pool...

...because Max is not getting out any time soon

This girl loves pasta!

Max found three "Pawley" fish and one new pair of sandals. The ride home from the mall took extra long due to traffic, but Max told mommy all about his day at camp. When Kira tried to chime in (aka/ cry for a snack), Max replied, "What are you doing? I'm talking with my mommy!" He soon after demanded that mommy, "Stop driving! Press the button! (the ignition button) Kira is hungry!"

Dinner for two

These Brooks kids sure so like their peas

Back at the pool

Ahoy! Captain Max had a great time on the lake with mommy's friends today. He rode on a "floating dock" and threw bread at the geese while he screamed, "Right there!!! Come and eat it right there!" to the birds.
