Pajama day at school (and Maxwell participated!)
Playing at the park
Look who is wearing big girl panties!
With Grandma Donna (I think during the day with Britt)
My friend Beth at work
My friend Andrea came to my work and helped about 50 of us make these signs. I made one with a "G" so I could give it to Maxwell's kinder teacher - Garza.
Crazy hair day at school
It certainly looked crazy :)
Emmalyn joined in the fun too
Playing at the mall during the day with Britt
"cheese face"
Yup, cheese face again. Those ringlets! No curling iron needed for this one.
Cuddled up with the kiddos
Maxwell practicing his Kindermusic rhythm cards. He's doing a great job.
We took the kids to the "Festival at the Switchyard" in downtown Carrolton. The kids had fun playing games. (They took turns though because we were standing in a silly line waiting for face painting. While I'm glad to see my kids now enjoy it, face painting is the WORST line wherever you go. You spend at least an hour just waiting and then trying to entertain the kids while you wait. This new trend of total face painting instead of the old way with a ghost on a cheek or a rainbow takes so much time!!!!
Maxwell waited in the stroller more than Emmalyn did
Emmalyn got some flowers (mom's choice) and Maxwell is the Pokemon Pikachu
We took the kids home and left them with a new babysitter - girl down the street and then we headed back to the concert for a free Barenaked Ladies Concert!
First we went out to dinner and while we were eating fireworks went off behind us - it was great show!
The concert was so fun! The last time we saw these guys was at an Medal Ceremony Concert during the 2002 SLC Olympic games.
Being silly with dad outside of Costco
Loving the smiles and giggles
We had Souper Salad for dinner. Peter and I used to go all the time when we lived in SLC so it was a little nostalgic.
So, we have been sort of potty training all week. Emmalyn does great with pooping on the potty but then she will sometimes sit on the potty, do nothing, and then pee on the floor a minute later. If she's in pull-ups she treats it like a diaper so that choice is out. It's either panties, nude, or diaper. She's having multiple accidents a day. :( When we went to the festival I just put her in a pull-up because I didn't want to deal with it. That night with the babysitter she was in diapers but then asked to go potty before going to bed. The next morning she said she needed to go pee and she actually did so that's a win!
Mornings are good. Maxwell gets up around 6 am. Peter will give him cereal or will leave a bowl with cereal in it and put a cup of milk in the fridge so he can do it himself. Emmalyn wakes around the same time but I try to get her to cuddle with me in bed for an extra half hour. She immediately asks for milk when she wakes up by saying, "your milk" and I'm still telling her it's empty. After about a half hour she'll go to the kitchen and Peter will get her cereal. Both kids watch their iPad while eating and can be independent which means we can get a few more minutes of sleep!mo
