weekly update

our good friend alex invited us over for a play date after naps.

which resulted in super long late naps for both our nappers.

so we really went over there for just a little bit

before the sun went down and it was time for dinner.

emi had so much fun riding bikes with gus.

makai loved playing with all their fun toys.

the battery was dead on mater but he didn't know or care.

and then he kept escaping off to the garden area.

he was in heaven running around their land.

then alex got out the water colors to paint some rocks.

which turned into painting on paper/hand prints.

which makai then painted himself and anyone within reach.

luckily it was washable paint. 

makai snuck behind emi to paint her rock with her not knowing.

when emi was makai's age she loved to stand on the stool and color

makai loves to color. so i thought i try it out.

he loves it, but him picking up the stool and throwing it

resulted in me putting it away, behind closed doors.

i don't think emi ever tried to lift it up.

this is what happens when i leave the room or turn my back.

so if you come over and the table and chairs are pushed to the wall

you'll know why. the little stinker.

he doesn't listen....just hustles faster until we catch him.

 

one evening before bed i couldn't find emi and eddie.

lo and behold...they were making shadows with his bike/running light.

just watching the rain....and spilling every other handful of popcorn.

not sure why i thought that was a good idea.

we tried the turn the chairs around

before we ended up pushing the table up against the window.

battle of the vacuums!

after the popcorn mess we had to clean up the mess.

had to take a picture of this little stinker.

while he holds still for 2 seconds.

i think i took this picture too cause

he fell asleep in the time it took me to unload the groceries from the trunk.

i knew it was nap time. i changed his diaper and put him straight to bed.

he was out within minutes.

emi had a gift card to use by the end of february for leatherby's.

not sure why they were squeezing noses...as long as it isn't mine.

the next day when my mom asked if she got bubble gum

she said: of course not! silly girl! that's all she ever gets.

 

 makai head butted emi and she needed an ice pack.

she literally kept it on the entire movie.

eddie was asleep 2.5 seconds after this picture.

we got frozen on apple tv. 

we decided to keep the kids up to watch it.

and we have watched it everyday since.
