Happy Monday!

Monday morning mud walk

Kira does not crawl but she can wiggle and roll across the room if she sees a snack or toy (basketball!) she wants 

Tried to hit force Max to nap, so naturally he fell asleep wrapped in a blanket with the lights on

Sweating and snoring...wake up!!

Bubbles, bubbles are so fun

Bubbles, bubbles, for everyone!

...and Max does not even like dogs 

Ending the day the same way we started it- by taking a walk.  Kira was pleased.

Smiles by surprise

Max and Kira had fun at the fire truck playground this morning.

This accidental double smile was followed by an actual double nap!

"That was awesome!" said Sadie at the pool.

"Don't forget to get my helmet," Max reminded daddy when he got his bike.  Safety first!

"I want to play this myself!" (But no one leave. Watch me play.)

Basement fun

Sunday morning face stuffing

Stars, stripes, and smiles

Kira had a blast watching Max blast pop pops on the sidewalk

It was too windy to light the sparklers, but the pre-rain wind was perfect for a kite

It rained on our parade- literally- but Max was more than happy to go back to Chibis playground.  We learned our lesson (last rainy day we went it was full), and we were the first to arrive when it opened.

These two took two snack breaks during our 1.5 hour time allotment.  Max learned how to twist open an Oreo cookie.  Daddy was quite proud.  Kira was quite jealous.

Holiday weekend concert

Max and Kira started off the long holiday weekend with some holiday tunes.  Christmas carols!

Christmas in July!

Max helped daddy break in his new smoker.  The meat was delicious; Max asked to eat the "coal part".

Someone is on a streaking streak...

Measuring up

Mommy's little seamstress assistant

If at first you don't succeed, scoot across your room 

Max earned goggles for taking his nap without a battle.  He did not want to take them off...

...even at the farm with Avery.  These two were so happy to see each other!  They really miss seeing each other everyday.

Kira gobbled up green beans for dinner, but they may have upset her tummy...

...because she just could not sleep.  But she could still smile!

Living on Easy Street

Just a couple of girls getting a couple of tons of candy and Gatorade 

Morning walk 

Kids on the move

Kira loves this car!

Max is on the go on his big wheels.  This "street" is really keeping him busy.

On the way home from camp Max asked if we could go to a random "green and white" playground in a complex we can see from the road.  After his nap [under extremely high duress], we went and had a great time.  "Mommy! Let's do the thing where you chase me again!"

En route to the pool to clean off our playground mud- "Mommy! You can't come with us, we are going in the boys locker room!"

Can never take too many photos of a girl in the most stylish swim ensemble

Bananas for mangos!

Snack/laugh time!
