Just hanging out

Mav has decided that he doesn't want to sit in the high chair.  So, he is now at a booster seat at the table with the rest of us.  He also wants to hold a fork while he eats.  Notice I did not say that he uses it, he merely holds it because he likes it.

 Marshall took advantage of a break in the rain to grill out, and the kids and I watched from inside.  The highs are still in the 50s everyday here, we are hoping for warm weather soon!

 Someone is a copycat.

 Mav loves his new hat from Nina!

 This is his automatic response to seeing a camera.  How do I break this habit?

 And yes, there is such a thing as getting too close to the camera.

It's a Small World

As is probably the case for all families with smaller kids, the Small World ride was a huge hit with my kids!  Since Maddox's bedroom is done in a "Small World" kind of theme, I was on the lookout for anything in the gift shops that had "Small World" on it, or the characters, or anything, but there was nothing.  I was so bummed!  Oh well, I'll just have to keep searching Etsy and Ebay.

In the boat, getting ready to go in!

I won't embarass myself by trying to name all the countries here!

At the end of the day we had the big kids pose with this statue of Mickey's hand with the wand.  Mav wasn't feeling like participating, so 3/4ths isn't bad I guess.  I convinced Mdx to get a Minnie-ears headband, even though she originally wanted a Minnie balloon.  The reason is because I'm so mean that it was the end of the day and all the balloons had been blown up at the beginning of the day and were already losing their helium.  I knew she'd cry if she woke up in the morning to a deflated balloon, but Minnie ears would last longer.  So, there you have it.

It was great fun, but next time we want Daddy to get to come too!
