Monday demands

Max came barreling in the door after school talking non-stop about his friend, Logan, having his TOE AND FINGER nails painted.  A few minutes later Max and Kira had their first mani-pedi.

It turns out Timmy has his toes paint, too.  High maintenance boys over here.

Max and Timmy deserted their pile of toys just in time for Kira to do some exploring.

Dad's Day!

We celebrated Father's Day and Pa's birthday today!  

Kira loved the cake but only wanted it fed to her off the end of a birthday candle.

Kira eats pretzels at the pool non-stop

Even in the water 

We (mommy under Max's direction) crafted some Lion King play masks that Max found online to replicate the performance he saw.  Look out Broadway, Max is coming!

Post "pushing part"

Kira's first time at the zoo

Max said the baby turtle in there is a baby NINJA TURTLE!

Kira loved all the big animals we saw on the wagon ride.  She really wanted to jump out and feed them some mints she got from Grandma.

Kira tried hard to feed the birds

"Dogie!"

Max was actually a bit nervous on the wagon ride.  He was super excited when he saw Lion King-esque animals from afar, but once we got up close he may have been nervous Scar would appear?

Look who slept until 7:30! Thank you 10pm bedtime!

Saturday hot spots

Our Saturday started off at our go-to spot: Target! We spent he afternoon at the pool and ended the day way past bedtime at the Reston Town Center.

This Target dog is pretty much the Mickey Mouse of Reston, Virginia.

We need to do a better job of getting to the pool after break, not one minute before!  Max, not known for his patience or his go with the flow attitude, was none too happy when the whistle ousted him from the pool before he even dipped a toe in the water.  Luckily he was able to seek solace (and a snack) in his freshly inflated chariot.

Kira would rather stay dry

She was pleased with the option to stay dry and go in the pool.  If only we all had that option!

The Taste of Reston was mostly a taste of really long lines, but Max and Kira loved the music!

A real live dance party!  Their moves were adorable!!

TGIF

It's Friday and t-ball is over! 

Mudhens pool party 

Ouch!

None to happy that the rain washed away their hop scotch trail 

Poor girl fell right on her scab, but it was nothing a few "Minnie" band aids could not fix.  She hardly shed a tear, while her brother was mentally scared and screaming across the street.

"Lion King, Lion King!" said Kira!!!!!!

Pop goes the popper

Favorite shirt day

Kira adores her Minnie shirt and plays with her belly all day when she wear it.  Max has been wearing his, "basketball shirt with a baseball on it" for over two years.  Of course his favorite shirt had to be white.

Minnie Max/Mouse

TGIM

Solid start to the week

Timmy made an important announcement: "Me and Max are brothers and we're moving."

A-okay as long as they stayed out of the street.  

Goodnight dance party 

Pool party

Early mornings call for early Target runs 

Baseball coaching from a baby doll stroller- sounded very realistic, but did not look so much.

Max in the air at Sophie's 6th birthday party!

Kira in the air!

Max counted and made daddy jump in the [freezing] water with him

Kira's favorite part of any party is pizza, one of the few foods she eats these days.

Kira's skinned knees did not keep her off the big girl swing at Ben's house
