Last weekend Sissy and Nolan came up to enjoy a little fun in the sun!
We hit up the Scottish Highland Games at Hovander and saw some incredible bag pipers, drummers and dancing. But the BIG hit, of course, were the JUMP-JUMPS!
Clementine and Nolan each took a couple turns going down the huge slide, then bounced to their hearts' content in the Bounce House.
I love this picture capturing Clementine mid-bounce while the baby girl in there with her does a face plant!
The next day was almost just as nice, so we packed up the babes and headed to the beach.
There was a lot of smiling and laughter,
a little mud-eating (Nolan),
some "swimming,"
and lots of exploration.
There was also a lot of this: both babies giggling like mad while Clementine tried to tickle or hold hands or, like in this next picture, trying to hug Nolan.
All things ended like this; both babies toppling over in the next gentle wave. Both still giggling like mad.
Then, Nolan discovered how enjoyable throwing mud at Clementine was. I think her running and shrieking away from him just egged him on more (funny how quickly she turns into bossy older sister and he turns into pesky little brother).
With both babies covered in mud (and Nolan's lips turning blue from the cold water) it was time to head home.
Both kiddos had a great weekend spent running and playing and, most of all, laughing together.
Recently, Clementine has discovered the hanging bench on our neighbor's porch.
She had a playdate with her BFF from preschool. We went on a bike ride but Clem was far more interested in pushing/steering her friend than riding.
Recently, Clementine got a hold of my camera and took 30+ pictures of her stuffed monkey in various poses.
She's been practicing her letters (she's matching cut-out magazine letters and gluing them on top of my hand-written letters) and taking it *very* seriously.
I recently spent several hours dealing with this toy room. This picture was taken about a half hour in to the clean up. I recently deduced that this girl of ours has too much stuff!
