Park takes

The sweatshirt that doesn't quit

When Max was 8 months old this sweatshirt was big. Now it fits like perfectly. 

BoGo

Buy one raft, get one kid!

Neighborhood yard sale

Works of art

Max's homework assignment was to make a collage showing where his parents are from.  New York + Florida + Kira covered in marker and stickers

Plan A: karate class

Plan B: play in the fountain

No karate instructor, no problem 

Class garden cucumber!

New dos

One cut, two pops

Handwriting

Max wanted to practice his "little letters". He made the dot letters to trace himself, too.

First piggy tales- they did not last the whole day, but they will be back.

While Max is away

...Kira will play with all his toys!

Jean shorts are apparently to looking a year older than you are

Max went to daddy's practice and we thought Kira might miss Max, but she seems okay!

While Max is at daddy's school, Kira gets all the "tuttles" to herself!

"Star!"

Looks like an efficient practice for the Cougars

Surprise!  Max is home!

Court of dreams

Max spotted a basketball court with, "two big hoops and one little hoop" months ago while we were driving down Fairfax County Parkway.  A "big boy" hoop that Max can make shots in is rare and very appreciated.  Every single time we drive by, Max points it out and asks to go, but there is no parking and it is quite literally off a major parkway.  This afternoon we parked the car at a random apartment complex and made our way along the parkway to the court that had eluded us for so long.  

Court of dreams

He shoots

He scores!

Basketball shot by Kira, picture shot by Max! 

The pool is closed by it is still so hot

Passing along his "Gustas" impression.  Thanks, Willy Wonka.

Wrong season, Kira.  Not even close.

(also- Kira is almost the same size as Max with that hat on!)

Puppet show 

All aboard the Metro train

This one was up at his typical crack of dawn hour, but he worked on his hair do until his clock was green.

This one on the other hand was up screaming at 5:45am and was a wild woman all the live long day.

Kira struck back at the Power Ranger who hijacked her dog, and she won.

Fall ball

Not happy about...who can remember what.  His outfit, probably.

Train ride!

All the way the Shake Shack

Burger and ketchup, hold the burger

All grown up and ready to commute

Land of the free, home of the wildest and loudest metro riders
