Opening Day

Their day started and ended at a playground

Max passed Kira sticks and she threw them down the slide.  They both thought it was hilarious.

Max had his first t-ball game of the season.  He his three ground balls during the three inning game and most notably he wore the uniform.  Last year he refused the wear the shirt because it was too big (it really was enormous on all the kids), but this year he agreed to wear it if the sleeves were cut.  Someone on the other team was overheard asking, "who's the kid in the muscle shirt?"

We were so excited to celebrate at Tessa's 2nd birthday party!

Kira had so much fun that she fell asleep right after the party, while she was still practically eating her bagel!

Skittles and a show

Max, Timmy, and Cecelia went to see the Hughes Middle production of the Lion King, Jr.  They loved it!  When the play started with Rafiki singing they were hooked.  As much as they enjoyed it, Max and Timmy asked between every song and scene, "Is it over yet?"  Of course when it was over they immediately wanted to go home and watch Lion Guard (aka Lion King: The Next Generation).  All three made it through a 90 minute performance with one intermission, one bag of sour skittles (split three ways), and no incidents!  Bravo!

The show had not yet begun, but the countdown to intermission/SKITTLES had commenced. 

Just a couple of happy campers ready to start a new day

Max woke up at 5am because he was so excited that it was pajama day at school. All he needed to complete his Ninja Turtle look was his 12 month old hoodie.

Garbage pail kids

These kiddos legitimately took the garbage pails back up from the curb and they don't even know what an allowance is!

Kira's new favorite thing in the whole wide world is brushing her teeth.  She squeals with delight when she sees the toothbrush come out and studiously keeps her mouth open the whole time.  It is the cutest!!!  Also the cutest- her high pony tail!

Helmet heads

Spring swing

Spring is such a moody season- days range from mild summer to harsh winter to an occasional amazing spring day.  Today was that amazing day so we soaked it up because crazy freezing rain could be just around the corner.

Back to baby signing..."more!"

The baby, not signing

It was so cold out today!

At least 50% of our kids dressed appropriately for the weather

Selfie!  Today Kira picked up her monitor and said, "cheese" to the screen.

Bowling party

Bowling party to celebrate daddy's birthday!

Kira's inaugural round of bowling 

Coupled with her first day as an official walker.  She took more steps than scoots today!

Kira loves doggies!

Max loves to try on clothes

Daddy's birthday = mas desserts for Max and Kira 

TGIF

Right at home at a basketball game!

Play date!

Max and Logan talked about their afterschool play date all day at school.  Max was mostly excited about Logan coming home in our car.  They played until 8:30pm, well passed theirs (and mommy's) bedtime.  

Kira loves playing with (aka: near) the boys
