March 9: Brenna, Liam and I met up with some friends at the Dolores Park playground.
Oh these two and how they play together. Even when they each have a friend at the playground they could be playing with. Buddies, indeed.
I brought a picnic lunch. And there was a bake sale at the playground. Win. Win.
After lunch, there was some running and chasing on the grass. And lots and lots of giggles.
March 10: On Mondays, our awesome babysitter, Laura, spends the morning and early afternoon with Brenna and Liam. They usually ask to take a bath when she's over. So she usually picks a second outfit out for them. She put this cute ensemble together for Brenna.
These two pictures sum up Liam's week. Every morning and all day long, all he wanted to do was dig in the back yard. The dirt was dry, the sun was shining, and the trucks were ready. There was lots of digging.
Brenna did a good bit of digging, but she really likes all the play kitchen toys as well. She was making jello for me, she said.
March 11: A little pre-dinner crafting. Brenna with crayons and Liam with scissors.
More sticker chart success! Liam has been asking for a jack hammer. He meant a truck with a hydraulic hammer (yes, I am that Mom that knows the correct names of all trucks). Those toy trucks are quite hard to find (and quite expensive). So, a jack hammer would have to do.
Doesn't he look excited? Gloves, protective eyewear, headphones, and jack hammer ready to go. He slept with his jack hammer, if that gives you an idea of how much he likes it.
Brenna got a ukelale. She was really happy with it, despite the expression on her sweet face in this picture.
March 12: It was another warm night. We opened up the windows upstairs during bath time to get some cool air in the bedrooms.
Brenna and Liam built some houses with foam blocks in the tub.
Then Liam painted his house.
Which meant Brenna needed to paint hers, too.
And her belly, of course.
March 13: This is how the kids spent their day. Again.
They did manage to play inside a little bit, too.
Spinning in circles.
Copying Brenna.
This week Brenna is really into this dog guitar. She likes to push the button to play songs. She pushes it until she gets just the song she wants.
And then she dances. Not normal kid dancing. She's really serious about it. And you are not allowed to dance with her. Or sing. She'll tell you so.
Unless your Liam. Then you can dance.
She'll even join in.
I got some new shoes. So, of course, Brenna had to try them.
And Liam, too. He actually walked quite well in these 3" heels.
March 14: A little TV (can you tell from their blank stares) and chalk.
With a little musical interlude.
March 15: Brenna, Liam and I decided to spend the 75 degree weather at the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Marin.
We didn't spend too much time at any one place.
Of course, we had to do some digging in the gravel.
And drive some boats.
There were trains and fish.
And cranes.
Plus, plenty of sunshine.
But the best spot for both kids was at the little stream, playing with the fish and frogs.
After getting totally soaked, I thought to put some aprons on Brenna and Liam.
But Brenna still did plenty of splashing. Perfect for a warmer than usual March Saturday.
