Starting summer!

Things have been a little nuts here over the past week. Lots to do! We've been busy, and frankly, they might not be tired but I'm pooped. I think part of it is that they encourage each other to be a little crazy.

We started last weekend by hitting up our first ever parade. They have a thing with loud noises and really don't like them (especially Parker) but he picked to pair up with Aunt Bo and did much better than I could have hoped for. They lasted the entire parade and the 40 minutes waiting for it to start on top of it. So very fun.It didn't hurt they were getting to pick up tootsie rolls and Dum Dums that were being thrown out.

This weekend we all about playing. It was hot, we played hard, munched all day, didn't take naps...and everyone in the house was ready for bed time by the end of the day. We played outside with the hose and our water table a few times. Love it! Of course, anytime Payton got wet, she insisted in stripping down to a diaper since we started out in play clothes.

We hit the park and were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves! Yay!

We made suncatchers..

Picked MaMaw up from the airport without any major issues and conquered an escalator for the first time :)

A long morning at the zoo wiped us out (even though there would be no napping outside of the car).

We even went to the cemetery to visit some special people. Someone had been up to see them and had left flowers, which they both, especially Payton, found fascinating. She said she wanted to go back and take flowers sometime.

Then the little thieves broke into MaMaws groceries on the way home from the store and stole her grapes.

Summer is off any running. If anyone ever wants to get together, let us know! They love to play and I'm always looking for good ways to have an early (hopefully with minimal wakeups) bedtime. :)
