Reading is FUNdamental!

I love that my babies love to read!

Little Momma

Although you can still find Miss T frequently playing with cars, trucks and trains...she's finally starting to take an interest in baby dolls.  This morning, she was making the rounds with the bottle.  First, baby:

Then Lucky:  (side note:  how can you not LOVE that little dimple on her right cheek!!?)

And she saved a little for herself (but only after she offered some to Mommy)!

She may be playing the part of momma, but she's still the baby in our house...

Night Night, Little T!

Sweet.

Look who Little Miss T has been carrying around with her lately...

She LOVES this picture.  I had to move it to a lower shelf because she would just stand by the bookshelf and beg for it.  She'll pick it up, bring it over to me, plop down in my lap and wait for me to say each of their names.  Once I'm done, she looks up and says "More! More!" signaling for me to do it again.  Repeat about 4 or 5 times before she's satisfied.  She tries to repeat each name, but it's nothing too recognizable at this point. 

Transform!

I scored these Transformer Underoos at Kohl's on clearance for about $2.  I do love a good deal, but nothing compares to how thrilled Calder was with his new pj's!

Spray Park

One of the things on my summer to-do list was to take the kids to a local spray park.  Calder loved it last year, and this year was no different.  It took Tessa a little while to work up the nerve to get wet, but once she did she was a big fan!  Every time the water would shoot up, she would gasp in surprise, and then giggle and run away.  Fun!

So, apparently, I didn't get any pictures of Calder playing.  Probably because he was always right in the middle of the fountain with the big kids, and I was very busy chasing after Tessa to make sure she didn't run OUT of the play area (which she really, really, really wanted to do...)

Sprinkler

 This little girl LOVES water.  She had the time of her life playing in the front yard sprinkler this weekend!

Big brother had fun too!

Family Fun at the Pool

The next day, we met up with more cousins in Maryland for more family fun!  We had a delicious brunch and then they took us to their awesome community pool!  We had a blast!
