P1 building Transformers out of Duplos. The green one is Grimlock and the blue one is Strongarm.

P2 is so fashionable! She likes to wear her hair elastics on her arms and feet.

 

Some of P1's artwork:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

A self-portrait

My in-laws took us to the Rockin E Country Store so I could pick out some flowers to plant (which was super sweet of them). P2 decided to get on the horse in the store, and then Grandpa put in a quarter. She handled it really well until Grandpa tried to show her how to make it go faster. P1 wouldn't even give it a try after that.

Just chillin out on the couch:

 Dad pulled out his old laptop for the kids to play with. They really enjoyed it, but didn't like sharing it with each other.

Sleeping Beauties

My kids don't take regular naps anymore. Instead they just fall asleep in random spots when they are tired. P2 is especially good at falling asleep anywhere.

And occasionally, even P1 falls asleep!

Dog-sitting

Our neighbors asked us to take care of their dogs while they were out of town for the weekend. We would just go over and feed them and let them outside to go potty. The kids loved playing with the dogs. They were both little dogs. Emma is a super hyper little terrier. P1 really enjoyed running around with her. Gabby is a much older and calmer Pomeranian with a purple tail. P2 really liked Gabby. Emma was a little too much for P2. Even though she is a tiny dog, she still managed to knock P2 over within the first minute of going into their house.

P2 heard a dog barking the next week, and she said "Mom! Emma needs you!" And both P1 and P2 dug up all their dog stuffed animals and named them Emma and Gabby.

Parks

Every Friday we have a neighborhood park day. We rotate through different parks in the area. We have a lot of fun parks to go to!

This contraption is at 2 of the parks we go to, and P2 loves it! The kids love to sit on it and have you spin it around. It takes a fair amount of effort to move, so it's a good workout for mom. For some reason, P2's favorite park things include work for mom.

This fire station park is a fun little park! And it has some nice shade which I love!

Bowling

In celebration of Mother's Day, we went out to eat with my family and also went bowling. We were planning on going to the Baby Animal Days in Kaysville, but the weather wasn't looking great. Bowling ended up being a lot of fun, and the kids really liked it! P2 was really good at it! Both P1 and P2 used bumpers, but for whatever reason, P2 knocked down a lot more pins.

Kite Festival

We went to the kite festival again this year! The kids enjoyed making their kites. P1 made a Transfomers kite this year. The wind was great, but eventually it did start to rain on us.
