Helping Charlie learn to do the roller slide at the park
Lunch at Sam's Club is always a favorite!
My hammock crew
I got this bug catching kit on Easter clearance a year ago, and dug it out of the closet one Sunday to keep the kids busy. They spent the next couple hours searching all over for roly poly bugs - money well spent!
Zoo day with the boys
Charlie loves when someone will help him ride the scooter
Dave and I snuck away one morning to go see Avengers Endgame. It's hard to believe the number of films that are part of this universe, and we've seen all but one of them. It was a great movie and tied everything up nicely.
Sophie's final gymnastics class and medal ceremony were cancelled because of bad weather, and we were told it would not be rescheduled. She was so bummed! I got in contact with the program, however, and arranged for her to join a different class for the last day so she could finish out her season on a high note. Go for gold Sophie!
Occupying the same block without confrontation - a miracle!
We went with friends to a little circus that came through town. It was definitely nothing special, but having friends there made the slow parts less boring and the exciting parts more fun!
They were charging $10 to take a photo with someone in a butterfly or dinosaur costume. We would never pay that, but I'm pretty sure Davey would have given his life savings to get closer to that T-Rex.
Sophie fell in mud one day at school and needed a complete change of clothes. I wasn't home so Dave picked out this combo for her :)
After school Sophie buried Charlie in this box with gravel. He actually seemed to like it.
Charlie loves to empty my cupboards
The best part of Kids Club at the gym is getting a sucker afterward!
More backyard fun. I'm glad it's not to hot to enjoy time outside. When I spread the hammock out big with my legs Davey calls it his "pirate ship."
Charlie was jealous of the big kids in the trampoline, but when I gave him a turn he decided he didn't like it after all.
My sweet boy is down to just one nap a day now - so sad
Davey decided to paint himself and all his toys with yogurt. Such a nice surprise to clean up right before bed. We used the hose on his trucks and debated on using on his face too...
We built a pretty great block fort at the Discovery Center!
Rub, a dub, dub, three kids in the tub
My shopping buddy really loved these "robot glasses" he found at Target
Charlie snuggled up with his snack catcher
Behold the stuffed animal shrine! I told Sophie she had to make her bed. She moaned and cried for awhile, then begged me to do it for her because she said she didn't know how, but I insisted and I'm glad I didn't give in. I love what she did and I would never had done such a thorough job! Afterwards she decided to go make Davey's bed too just for fun.
I don't remember why I had the camera out, but Charlie just walked up and started saying "cheese, cheese, cheese!" practically begging me to take his picture.
We had to say goodbye to the Flake family, who moved to Reno at the end of the month. They were some of our first friends, and Davey is sure going to miss his buddies Graham and Mclane.
We signed up for the Kids Bowl Free program this summer. Last year we joined late and only went once before it ended, but this year we should make it more often. It's a great way to kill an hour or more in a climate-controlled space :) I actually bought Davey his own bowling shoes at a yard sale so we don't have to pay to rent them each time - he was so excited to try them out!
We went to the library for yoga and balloon games, rather than tough out that hour before dinner at home. Davey fell asleep in the car and stayed asleep through the whole program, even being moved in and out of his car seat, not waking until we got back home.
Charlie was very happy with his balloon
Checking out a dragster race car
My tree climbing monkeys
When I see how much they love this little fish tank at the Discovery Center it makes me really miss the weekly aquarium visits we used to make back in Utah. We might try and visit a real aquarium this summer in North Carolina.
Charlie is a water baby - he loves the pool and splash pads!
