Here's a few of my favorite shots from the past week:
Macey has a new favorite game to play outside. See those wonderfully drawn balloons behind her on the patio? There are 5 or 6 of them, all different colors, and she's obsessed with the "baboons". The game goes like this: she steps on a balloon, I name the color, she moves to the next balloon. When she's stepped on every single color, we cheer and clap. Rinse and repeat 1,000 times.
PS- We are getting that little area behind Macey screened in soon. I'm so excited about that. I'm having visions of sitting out on a (little) screen porch with a glass of wine in hand, not getting chewed up by mosquitos.
There is something just so sweet about this picture to me. Camden is teaching Macey how to play Angry Birds. See how he's gently guiding her finger to shoot the birds? I loved this moment, and I love how good they are to each other (most of the time).
Camden's really getting good at Mario Kart (what? We're working on hand-eye coordination!) and Macey thinks she's racing too. While holding the controller upside down and shaking it.
Meh, it's a blurry iphone photo (aren't they all?) but Camden's expression in this picture is pretty priceless. This was his "high jump".
I captioned this picture "tired twins" and sent it to Matt yesterday. The night before this picture was taken, Macey decided to forego her normally awesome sleeping routine and party in her room (with me, as her guest) from 2:45-6am. I made sure to thank her profusely for the invitation.
Today, we took a trip to the observation park at our local airport. It's pretty awesome there-- there's a big observation deck where you can sit and watch planes take off and land. I didn't really know what to expect-- I thought the kids would enjoy it, but figured the novelty would wear off quickly. Well, it didn't. Below is Macey's expression upon seeing a plane take off for the first time. The girl was mesmerized. And my normally wild child who never stops moving sat still almost the entire time we were there, just taking in the show. She was thoroughly depressed when it was time to leave and talked about airplanes (while fighting back tears) the entire ride home. I think we've found her new favorite destination.
Big brother thought it was pretty awesome, too.
There's a pretend runway at the park too, which Camden took advantage of. Here he is, ready for takeoff.
