Des requested a photo of the sand castle he proudly built

Dinner was so good, she needed to take big bites with the big girl spoon

More fine ramp-walking weather

Eleanor demonstrates why the infant car seat and stroller was being sold

Similar to another incident at daycare, Eleanor nearly gags at the thought of the bath “shaving cream” spray soap squishing between her fingers

Morning yoga for mom means morning zoo for the rest of the team.

Plus grandma, getting to see penguin breakfast

So so awake

Capturing the 160ms both kiddos were still-

Exploring the jungle floor

Pretty sure this is the closest anyone had been to the hippo

Pride

Big boy, bigger backpack

Just chilling with some amateur ear protection

The return of SUPER CRANE!

St. Patrick’s Day 2018

St. Patrick’s Day commences with green doughnuts and green almond milk

Eleanor reintroduces herself to Sydney

The cousins discovering all the new entertainment at grandma’s house

Ella pointing to the special dessert, like Babe Ruth pointing to left field…

…incoming…

“Houston, we’ve landed!”

Antici-pation.

Yeah, the boys like theirs too.

Bye-bye Birdie (literally x 2)

At Eleanor’s St Patrick’s Day party at daycare, mom plays with the sticky sensory tape. Eleanor is not a fan and scurries away

Ms. Kristen always has some charming art project to engage with. Dad traces Ella’s hands as she’s surprisingly surrendered.

Our little leprechaun

The kids have been practicing their baby yoga. Eleanor seen here demonstrating the “downward dog” pose

Silly girls

Fully body puzzling

…and rest.

Everyone quickly learned that the new homemade slime the kids made with ma as a “shirts off” activity. Fun unabated.

Bliss: a tomato fanatic with a bowl of the worst’s best tomato soup

…or a zombie in a tomato soup coma.

Day warm enough for riding bikes are certainly isolated, but Des pedaled all the way up to Farnam

March 13th, 2018

Apparently Ella really wanted to wear this-

Learning to hold hands down the ramp

After-school goofiness

Des insisted he was going to thread the beads through the wiffle ball for some sort of bling. Dad relented and, with significant focus and effort, threaded the beads for the ultimate in preschooler fashion.
