Homemade Paint

...is not as good as store bought! But that's ok. We had fun anyway. And Daphne continues to copy Violet, this time by painting Vs and Ds all over. This activity was started to attempt to keep D from writing on the couch. So: Outside fun, staying cool on a warm summer evening!

Math super star

Violet is a math whiz so far, like daddy. This was a very easy activity for her and she loved it. Bonus: we're getting ready for heavy duty board games!!!

Daphne Update

For the sake of memory- Daphne was stung by a bee for the first time yesterday at a birthday party at Airport Park. I saw it land on her little heel, and I had to pull that big ol' stinger out. Yup, bee stings HURT. She was miserable for awhile, and her heel puffed up all around the stinger.

Also, Daphne is doing really well with potty training. She doesn't have pee pee accidents anymore- she goes to the potty all by herself, pulls down her teeny little undies, sits and pees, then comes and tells me what she's done. Poop is a bit more intimidating for her and I've had some clean-ups recently. All in all she's doing great, and we even went out today on errands with big girl undies on.

Happy Father's Day

Erik's 35th Mustache Bash

We had fun at Erik's 35th birthday party! You can only kind of see it in this picture, but we drew mustaches on all of our family pictures with dry-erase window markers. 

This was a really fun game... and much more difficult than anticipated.

Oh my goodness, the children never went to bed!

Aren't we handsome?

Sleeping Beauties

The girls have decided that they want to sleep in the same bed. This is night four of Daphne not being in her crib. Sniffle! On the bright side, there will be more space in their room now.

Legoland: Begin SUMMER!

The girls and I had a fun opportunity to go to Legoland today, on our first official day of SUMMER BREAK!!! Our friend Rachel had one day left on her 5-day passes and offered them up to the first taker- how could we say no?? We had a very fun day, even though it was too cold (in June??) to take advantage of the water features. Now that we know the layout of the park, we are looking forward to going back with another adult so we can go on more rides! 

Daphne was SOOO excited to ride the little train in Duplo-land. What a good big sister, pointing out lego landmarks. 

I forgot to wear my wedding band. Check out that cheater's tan!

Mommy got in a picture:

We LOVED the aquarium:

Good bye Legoland! Hello SUMMER!
