Bring on SUMMER!!!

I'm telling you this blogging on my iPhone is awesome! I just pull up the app, type away, quickly click the pics I want and I have a new post! One of the things that I so much dislike about blogger on my computer is how long it takes pics to load. This literally takes seconds and I love it. My phone is also what I take pics with a lot for convenience purposes so it's perfect. I'm sold!

Onto our awesome morning...M had a friend over for the morning. It couldn't have been a more perfect day! The girls played chalk, bubbles, rode bikes and cars, ran through the sprinkler and took many many runs down the slide. They had a fabulous time! Rex took his nap and also joined in on some outside fun. He was not a fan of the sprinkler! Maybe when he can run though it he'll enjoy it more. :)

I'm looking forward to many months of the same fun. I can't wait! And I'm sure the kids will love it too! ;)

Early riser and the weekend

Rex was sick last week but still managed to sleep through the night. This week he has decided that his new wake up time is sometime between 5 and 5:30 am. Not cool little dude! Is it really THAT important to see the sun rise?!? I'd be fine with just leaving him in his crib for awhile but he isn't a happy riser. As soon as he wakes he stands up and starts screaming and crying from the side of his crib. M was the exact opposite. She always woke up smiley and happy. And she's still that way! I've never seen such a chipper person in the morning. Hopefully Rex changes his ways soon!

This past weekend we went out on our boat for the first time this year. Makenna was beyond excited and is still talking about it! She wanted to put on her swimsuit, grab her "handy fishing rod" (thanks to Mouske Tools for that phrase!), and head to the beach! We did take her to the beach but because Rex was napping when we got there we just played in the sand and didn't tackle the water this time. She loved it and can't wait to go back!!

On Sunday Adam and I built two more raised garden beds in the backyard. We now have a total of three. Two are 4' x 8' and one is 4' x 10'. We started with the 4' x 8' last year and liked the concept. It's nice to have it raised a little for weeding and also to have better soil than planting directly into our dirt. We'll see how it goes! That's lots to weed and eat but hopefully we can do it. We've definitely found that M is more willing to try/eat stuff that she's able to plant/pick. Do you know many 3 year olds that like arugula?!? Ours LOVES it! Won't even eat Snickers salad because of the word "salad" but she'll eat a plate full of arugula! I'm hoping we can have some good variety and will save some time and money at the grocery store. :)

I'll leave you with some recent pics. Makenna NEVER wants her picture taken anymore. I'm telling you, whoever thought "terrible 2s" were tough hasn't encountered the "tricky, sassy and back-talking 3s" that this little monster brings. Yikes! Wish us luck to survive the summer without too many time-outs for her and less pulling out my hair for me!
