TGIF

Kira is obsessed with Max and Max is obsessed with being insane.  They are a sibling match made in heaven. 

Good morning, Sunshine!

Mommy read a book at Max's school.  All of the girls hugged him when we left and he even got asked on a play date.  Bringing your mom to school is still cool at this age!

Legos!

Finding old toys after a long time is the best.  Max used to love this gator and he still does.

Apples and bananas

Kira's daily dose of Advil must be working; despite her cold and teething she is still all smiles!

Little Einsteins in the wee hours of the morning 

Max really wanted pancakes this morning so he woke up extra early to make them. So nice of him.

Max likes to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas!

Max randomly positioned himself on this stool and said [you guessed it], "cheese!"  His school photo shoot must have really stuck with him since he so humorously reenacted it.

A bicycle built for three

Helmet heads!! Kira wore a helmet for the first time and she did pretty well considering it kept falling forward and covering her whole face.  Luckily Max was quite close by and lifted it up when his driver begged him to.

All three of us were so excited for our first bike ride together.  These two giggled in the trailer, while mommy panted her way up the many hills in Reston.  Truth be told, there were a few times that the bike, and it's 50+ pound load, got walked up hill.

Fall cleaning 

Kira could hardly wait to get in the bike trailer 

Just a taste...

Diaper cream and hydrocortisone- Kira's morning beauty regime

PAWLEY!

It is fire safety week at Max's school and he had the perfect outfit.  

The amount of outfits that Max goes through is as insane as...he is.  

Score!

Swim suit and shirt...what's two more pieces of laundry for the day?

Sweetest girl in the world 

Snack time show

It is so nice of grocery stores to have cars with two of the exact same steering wheels.  Seriously, so nice.

"She pressed the button [horn]!!!"

Kira graduated to the "cow seat" and Max was so excited!

Just headed out for a casual dinner in a causal outfit.

Max randomly pulled a chair over and ate a spoon full of, "my favorite brown sugar!".  Time to hide the ingredients!

Snack time show 

Max got some computer practice at school today.

Day three of this ensemble. No one was surprised, so someone stayed up late to wash it.

Mice

Max is still getting giggly kicks out of pouring into this Mickey costume and tonight he insisted that Kira wear her Minnie outfit.  It was well past her bedtime, hence the pajamas.

Mommy was so happy to see her bambinos after an afternoon out.  

Max: "Next time you go see Rachel have her take a picture".  

Mommy: "What's the picture for?"

Max: "Because you're so beautiful"

Mommy: (guess)

The smooth talker later admitted he wanted Rachel to take a picture of mommy so she could leave and come right home.

Max must have been listening to mommy's workout video while he built this tower; he said he built it with his muscles.

Boogers did not keep this unicorn baby from sleeping through the night.

Despite these evening Oreo boogers, Max does not have a cold.  Nor does he have an excuse for waking up this morning at 4:30am.  For the day. 

Holding hands

Hand holding on the way home from Tot Shabbat 

Kira loved Tot Shabbat!  She has only gone a handful of times because it falls during her morning nap, but now that she is getting older she is willing to take her nap later if it means fun, music, and friends.

Veggie shakers!  Even before we got to temple, Max said, "Kira can't have any shakers.  She'll put them in her mouth."  Pictured above are food shaped shakers NOT in Kira's mouth.  Not pictured, the apple shaker in Max's mouth. 

Max loves the 'Bear Hunt' music video and Kira loves Max!

Broke out the winter mittens so no need for any other apparel. At all.

Kira spent most of the day in her fleece pjs; she was even more snugly than usual.

Max could not fight his nap after being awake for approximately 100 hours.

Dinner with our neighbor Audrey

Ready for chilly weather 

It was impossible to pry half a grin out of Max when he wore this costume for Halloween TWO years ago, but today he was all laughs.  Fits like a glove [or a mouse suit].

Kira is very accommodating of Max

Santa needed to do an exercise video before bed.
