Another Adventure Day - Filled with Ice Cream

We spent the morning at the park playing all over the place - the playground, the drinking fountains and the open fields of grass. We were pretty hungry but wanted a "treat" so Mommy took us to Baskin Robbins and we got to order our very own ice cream - any flavor we wanted!

Isla "I want pink ice cream." Flavor: Pink Bubble Gum


Solomon "I want bluuuueeee ice cream." Flavor: Superman


Simon "I want Grrrrrrreeeeen ice cream." Flavor: Superman


AND...they ate it all.

Butterfly "watching":


P.S. For all the Mom's out there, the Superman ice cream causes some nasty looking poopies. I imagine similar to those that have tried the multi-color goldfish crackers...something I've always avoided. :)

Mommy on her Weekend Getaway

We missed Mommy alot when she was gone! Fortunately, she sent us some pictures each day. Here are a few of her adventures in MN:

Wow! Proof Mommy went on the light rail all by herself (besides flying, public transportation is scary to her - this was a BIG accomplishment!)Notice the cup of Caribou Coffee...YUM:

Mommy at a Candy Store? Of course!!:

COLD September Day

What do you do on a cold, September day when it's too cold to go outside? You find things to do inside of the house! Isla enjoyed time feeding her babies beans and The boys enjoyed pushing each other down the hall in the doll strollers. We even had a picnic lunch at the table.

Extended Weekend with Daddy

I headed off to visit some girlfriends in Minneapolis for a long weekend; so, Daddy took care of the kids. Here are some pictures of their adventures with Daddy and LaLa while Mommy was out of town.

Isla LOVES Babies

We never forced babies on Isla. She naturally started to love her babies at a very early age. She got her first doll on her 1st birthday. By the age of 16 months, she just couldn't do anything without bringing her babies along. Maybe she needs a little sister?????? ;)

Adventure Day

We like to call our Fridays "Adventure Day". Each Friday, Lais and I take the kids somewhere special and do something fun. They look forward to these special trips all week long and so do we!

Today we went to the Railyard Park at the Santa Fe Depot. Here are some pictures of our morning adventure.

Begins with breakfast: Smiley Face Pancakes

Potty Chart

I never thought I'd be posting about potty charts. I mean, my babies will never grow up. They will stay cute little babies forever, right!!? Well, no. Apparantly they do grow up and it happens much faster than I would like it to. I enjoy the thought of not having to change diapers anymore but I think we're still a ways off....

Here's the new potty chart I made:

They say girls are easier to potty train than boys. Well, yes, it's true for us. Although, the boys are trying very hard! They're catching onto the idea and are making progress. I'll post again when the boys start earning stickers too.
