Saturday morning we headed downtown for the Memorial Day Parade. Not the most kid-friendly parade we've been to but the kids both got to see things that interested them...princesses...
Grover...
Even a little Chewbacca for Dad...
And to end on a sweet note, we headed out a little early and grabbed lunch at the Grecian Garden at the City Market.
We'd had Papa visiting at our house since Thursday evening and when we got back to our house on Saturday, Parker and Bailey were over for a visit. They LOVE to get dirty!
Now that we're finally getting our garage organized and de-cluttered, our big-people bikes are easier to access.
Phoebes had been asking to get her haircut so we squeezed one in on Sunday afternoon while most people in Indianapolis were at the track or at home watching the race.
Maverick entertained himself with the slide while Phoebe got bobbed.
How is it that my five-year-old gets messier eating a fudge pop than her four-year-old cousin!?
Maverick has just discovered popsicles. I've been questioning his bloodline for awhile now as he doesn't care for ice cream or potatoes of any kind (seriously, whose kid is this!?) - but maybe that'll change as he gets older...
Enjoying the sunshine by getting a ride in. Neither girl is safe on the sidewalk!
Trying out their softball skills.
Papa coaching the kids.
Maverick swung and hit right after this one-on-one training!
Monday, we headed to the hardware store like the other bazillion people in our city. While pricing out plants and mulch, Phoebe discovered a little baby bird (remember her recent fetish with birds!?) and she walked right up to it and scooped him up. We quickly urged her to put him back down and he hopped away. They both wanted to make sure he was ok...
My hero! He's made our front yard look AMAZING!
While Daddy was hard at work digging and mulching, the kids entertained themselves in his truck. He was actually rear-ended the Monday before by an older lady (whom the police believe was on drugs at the time of the incident). Luckily, the damage was minimal (a mere $4200) and everyone was able to walk away unscathed. Truly, we're just grateful no one was hurt AND she was insured! She was actually being followed by another driver who was on the phone with 911 when she ran into Ryan at the stoplight.
For the life of me, I can't get this picture to appear normal but it still shows that Phoebe lost her second tooth on Memorial Day and got another $2 from TootheeTina...
Tuesday Phoebe had a promotional ceremony for Crouching Tigers. Here she is counting in Japanese as she limbers up.
Mantis stance.
Kee-yah!
Phoebe breaks another board!
Celebrating!
Wednesday night was our last no-rain day in the week's forecast so while Ryan mowed the lawn, I took the kids to the neighborhood pool that had just opened the weekend before.
We were only there 45 minutes and they never ventured from the kiddie pool but they had a blast in the water. Luckily it's heated so a lovely time was had by all!
No doubt about it, our kids LOVE the water!
