Love catching bugs!!


Sam has been busy catching (and inadvertently torturing) bugs and worms and anything moving he can find.  We have captured worms, large ants, a small green caterpillar and a large black beetle.  Nothing in safe in our backyard!!!!

Adventures in Potty training.


 Sam - My Co-Trainer
(the Construction excavator was the best bribe ever)


 Miss Kitty gets a lesson as well. 

One of the challenges of training a princess is that they insist on wearing princess dresses all day - makes it a little harder to see the underwear and execute at the potty.  For a brief time, Ava would only wear the dress with no underwear but we eventually got the underwear back on!

Playing Hooky

Waiting patiently for the zoo to open!
Mom took the day off to hang out with my little peeps and we had the best day ever..... Starting with the zoo!!!!!!

I loved Ava's reaction to the scary animals like snakes and lizards- she would gasp and scream a little - so cute! Sam loved it all and was racing from one exhibit to the next!!

Picnic in the park


We had do much fun having a picnic in the park. 
 As Sam put it, "This is perfect, mom" - Yes, it is!!!!

Nap time

 Sam woke up briefly, but just moved to the floor and fell asleep again!

I think I wore them out..... Of course, they were both in my bed at 5 am as Sam fell out of bed and woke us all up... Not much good sleep after that so we were all tired!

Afternoon and evening


After naps, mom took on the task of rehabbing the water table... Which was full of moldy leaves and water from last fall, ball tube full of sand and stuck balls.... (Should have taken a before photo)... It was a chore but the kids were so excited to play with it again - and 3 wet outfit changes later..... And threats that sand in the water table equal spankings....... It was fun!



After dinner, we rented Frozen b/c they always sing the Let it Go song.... Sam is into wanting to wear a skirt the last few days. I hid the one he had been wearing but he found another. Thankfully later tonight he wanted to take it off because he's a boy... !!!! This was after dancing with Ava to the movie songs! These two....

Well, We had quite the day - so fun!!!!! Loved a whole day playing hooky with my Loveys!!!
