The best days start with the best nights

Today was the greatest day!
It started off at the perfectly Godly hour of 7:00am.
Not only did Max go to sleep last night without waging war, but this morning he slept until 8:07am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He came downstairs with a big smile and gave mommy a big hug.  He got quite a hug (and accolades, upon thank-you's, upon accolades) in return!

This sweet girl played in her crib until 7am and could not believe that Max was no where to be found.  Or heard. 

Everyone was in such a cheerful mood this morning!  Max set up a breakfast picnic in the kitchen.

Kira loves to eat 

Since Max slept so well last night, it was a good day for him to skip his nap.  He was such a sweet boy; he helped mommy put away laundry, made popcorn and watched Sesame Street.  We also played in the pool.  

Kira joined the pool party when she woke up from her nap.

We took a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood...

Which relaxed someone right into a nap...

But not Kira!  

Max and Kira were on their best behavior at dinner.  Max wanted Kira to throw puffs in his mouth, but that was just before we left for...

Ice cream!! The perfect way to end a perfect day!


While Max was watching the Yankees with daddy, Kira took a bath.  Max came up to tell us about A-Rod's home run.  Of course he had to pitch in and help wash Kira, too.

Hide and go...

Play!
Max asked to go to Hannah's house all morning, so luckily he snagged an invite after camp and we headed over.  Ben, Hannah, and Max had a blast running around and playing tag and hide and seek.

While the big kids were running wild, these two babes chilled out.  It is hard to believe this time last year they were both in their mommies' tummies.

Girl time!


Max let mommy do half of her exercise video this morning, which would be great, except for that it was the "Ten Minute Trainer".

We never got around to these sparklers on July 4th, but of course Max got hold of them (and nearly matches as well) so we lit one up for fun early this morning.  Emphasis on early, because Max went to bed at 10pm last night, so naturally he was up at 6am.

The doctor is in

"Why did the doctor say I have a head ache?" Max asked.  "My head hurts!"

Teething and balling!

And of course smiling!

Comfy cozy

"Kira's touching me!!"

Never mind the trespassing 

Peace is reading your sister a book 

Not so comfy...

Nice and cozy 

Water slide!

Max was not feeling well

All giggles!

Look at all of this hair!!

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
