May Days

Not much going on here - counting down to Daddy's big trip to China that starts next week, so we're just being together as much as we can.  When there isn't t-ball or a birthday party or a playdate, of course.

PJs in the tent continues to be a favorite activity.  Last Friday they got home from school, changed, and went to work setting up the tent for "bed."  They are DYING to sleep in the tent overnight.  Bets on how long they'd really last?

Daddy even made s'mores one night!

YUM! In the tent!

Harper is easing into potty training.  She could not pick one pair of underwear to try out, so she put on four.  

 Hello, Little Blonde Don Rosella, how you doin'?

 LITTLE PARK continues to delight...despite a recent mini-spider "infestation" (small nest).

They were both fascinated and repulsed.

 Smug in his new shirt.

 Showing off some of what he plundered at Gavin's pirate birthday party.

 And this is what Mama gets when she tries to get a nice Mother's Day picture with these two nerds.

"Smile!" said Mama.

Harper really gave it her all.

Riding the cool "Plasma Car" Aunt Sharren got her for her birthday.

?

LION AND GIRAFFE ARE ON MY SHOULDERS!  THEY ARE HAVING A PIGGY RIDE!

Luke reading BigLittle to Harper before bed.

"MAMA! SOAPY BROKED!"

Ay, Soapy, we hardly knew ye.

Luke got sleeved out this morning - Arrrrrrr!

Harper, inititally peeved that Luke was getting HIS picture taken, demanded pictures be taken of HER. She then announced "I will NOT smile, I'm going to make an ANGWY face!"

Harper has recently been obsessed with the letter H.  She can recognize it on sight and thinks that every H stands for Harper (it's Harper's world, we all just live in it, I guess).  Mama taught her how to make one.  She is topless due to a messy bout with dinner just before.

And finally, we celebrated (Lion and Giraffe giver) Aunt Slater's achievement - she finished her MLS this week!  Harper, Luke, and Lion and Giraffe all sent their best to her on the big day!
