TGIF!

One size fits both

Perfect pair of bucket swings for this duo. 

Max and mommy picked up Kira at Miss Miranda's and we stopped by the playground for old times.  And new times!

"Get in! We have to go to school!"

This is more Max's speed these days, but it was nice of him to entertain Kira in the bucket swings for a while, too.  She just loves being near him.

Kira has no interest in touching paint,  or this bag filled with paint.

Max was more excited about it, as he is always asking to do "an art project".

Just another wacky morning 

Thumbs up

Waiting for Max

Fake it until you make it- standing addition.

Someone had a great day at school!  Either that or he played a load of Heads Up Seven Up.  

We made the best play dough ever; green for Max and pink for Kira, according to Max.  

Max was so involved in making play dough pizza that he would not eat dinner.

He just ate pizza.

All of the sudden Max went missing.  He had gone upstairs and drew himself a bath.  Kira was allowed in, but she had a little accident.  "I don't want a yucky bath!"  Max exclaimed, which is both understandable and ironic, considering he has peed in the bath with Kira on multiple occasions (but probably all occasions).

Sorry, Max!

Brother-sister snack

"Kia! Hello hello HELLO!!!"

Max loves Kira and she absolutely loves him and cracks up at 95% of everything he does.  The other 5% is comprised of shock from his insanity and crying from his bops and bow stealing.  

Max and his pet sister

What is my brother up to now?  A snack time light show, of course!

After school baby hugs 

Saved the best for last

Today is the "unofficial" end of summer and we ended it in the most summery way possible- with a trip to the beach!  Who knew that there was a beach located an hour away from our door?  Not us!  After a quick, traffic-less (on a holiday weekend!!) drive, we arrived in North Beach, Maryland.  We set up camp just feet from the water and Max swam like a shark for three hours!  Kira ate sand for three hours!  There were no meltdowns for three hours! It was the best summer day!

Get me in the water now!

Beach babies

Tastey!

Two second snack break with Max's best beach buddy, Carter.  Kira's personal pool was the perfect shelter from the sand.

Look who is swimming!

Those teeth!

Captain Max

Loves it!

Happy Birthdays

Two birthday parties in one day means a lot of fun celebrating with old friends.  It also includes a full day of eating exclusively pizza and cupcakes.

Max wolfed down several slices of pizza pie, while Kira gobbled down the crusts.  Timmy's birthday party was a great way to say goodbye to the pool for the summer.

"Mommy, I'm hugging Kira take a picture!"  (Never mind my glow-in-the-day eyeballs!)

Max was bubble-less (no floaty) for his last pool day of the summer.  We told him the pool was closing and he was very understanding.  That is until the next time he wants to go to the pool...

Kira has a snotty cold but that does not stop her from smiling, sleeping and eating [so much chicken!].

Mirror, mirror in the store, who is the cutest baby in the Bjorn?

Max had a great time at Carson's 5th birthday; the fun continued at home with this cool party favor that we fashioned as glasses.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Max slept until 8am!!  He showed daddy how to make a rainbow while Kira happily observed and semi-safely chewed on some larger pieces.

While Kira napped Max and mommy went on a bagel date and...

...a shopping date 

"This is my FAVORITE STORE!!!" Max proclaimed in the parking lot of TJ Maxx.  He loves the escalator and trying on glasses.  "I'm daddy!!" he said about this pair.

We went shopping for a can opener, but left with a fireman. 

His sucker of a mother obliged his early Halloween wish and when he begged to take the show on the road, she agreed to that, too.

Max really wanted to go see firemen.  We brought them pizza and Max did not even want a piece.  The men were so welcoming and gave Max a tour of the firehouse and truck.

Kira could not keep her hands off her new friend, Liam.
