Last week, Phoebe's class participated in Lemonade Day and they opened up for business! It was by far the best $20 lemonade I'd ever tasted!

 

Even Maverick's class came out to participate in the festivities!

 



Saturday, Phoebe had her final KinderDance recital and Uncle Steve and Bevin came down early to watch her perform.

 

She was SO excited he was there!

 

 

 

 

Watching all that dancing wore our little guy out!

 

 

After a good nap, we met up with everyone to eat dinner!

 

Maverick sure loves his Papou!

 

Uncle Steve passed down some of his favorite Mexican restaurant traditions to Phoebe.

 

 

Sunday, we celebrated a belated Mother's Day and an early Papou's birthday!

 

It was a gorgeous weekend to be outside!

 

Since Phoebe is our only child that will somewhat tolerate pictures, we both got her one on one.

 

Testing out our physics skills...

 

This one is a ragamuffin!  Note the grass-stained shorts? 

 

Taking a short break.

 

Both of our kids LOVE animals!

And LOVE water!

 

Maverick needed some warm-weather pjs so Phoebe got a new nightgown as well.  She loves it!  In fact, she's been wearing a pull-up to bed since we apparently bought the economy sized box way back when.  She's not ever had an accident but neither Ryan or I are fans of waking up in the middle of the night if we don't have to so we've been playing it safe.  She didn't like the way her new nightgown sounded against her pull-up so we've been pull-up free since the weekend!  Woooohooo!



 

Maverick sporting his new pjs and doing what he does best, playing with construction equipment!

 

Being silly as we shop.

 

Monday at almost 5:00 I got a call from Maverick's teacher that he'd had three episodes of diarrhea and that I'd need to keep him home till he was episode-free for 24 hours.  I tried to explain that he'd eaten bowlfuls of blueberries on Sunday but they wanted to play it safe, which I respect.  Luckily, it turned out to be gorgeous on Tuesday so we made the most of it by being outside!

 

Phoebe is obsessed with catching birds.  She has yet to catch one (imagine that) but that doesn't keep her from trying. 

 

Maverick discovered that he adores the "big" slide!

 

 

We ran a couple of errands since we seemed to be on the mend in the diaper department and while out and about, stopped at another park.

 

Dizzy diva with a skinned up knee (in one of her bird-catching attempts, we hit the pavement since we were running in flip flops...lesson learned).

 

 

Lo and behold, he FINALLY enjoys the swing!

But he still gravitates towards the slides. 

Ever since Tuesday he's been asking about wagons, trails and "BIG" slides and being outside every chance we get.  SO excited we have a long weekend to enjoy together as a family!
