Things we want to show Daddy...



 Making graham cookies with mommy. (Both kids signing 'cookie')

 Arthur finished his sticker mosaic and Stella....added to hers! 




 At the park!

 This is what Arthur picked to wear to the wedding reception last month. Jeans and a suit coat- remind you of anyone?

 Arthur with his furry best friend.

 Stella insisted on feeding monkey some breakfast one morning.

 She set up this 'picnic' all by herself while I made dinner.

 They found Arthur's supply of neckties in his drawer one morning and spent the rest of the day wearing these!


 This is the steepest slide we have ever seen! Arthur couldn't be convinced to go down it but Stella went several times and shot off the end each time- the camera couldn't even capture this speed! 
I would only let her go down it on her tummy, otherwise I was afraid she would end up sliding head first because its pretty much like dropping straight down.

 While Stella defied gravity on the slide of death, Arthur loved climbing through this Dino tunnel!

 We were at Costco one Monday morning and I decided to let the kids choose an FHE treat from the bakery- thus, these ridiculously large cupcakes came home with us. 



 Taming the wild Chance.


 We found a park last week that had these kid sized excavators in the sand. Very cool!



 Arthur's first time at Lego Club. He built a 'gliding plane'!

 Awesome!

 I had a crazy notion the other night to put blue food dye in the bath along with all the sea animals and call it an ocean. Arthur and Stella pretended to be deep sea divers and explored the creatures of the deep.

 Surprisingly it didn't make them turn blue! So, tonight we put red food coloring in the bath, called it lava and threw in lots of mini dinos to play with. 

Whenever Stella is pleased with something she immediately asks to show it to Daddy. After so many times of trying to explain why we can't show you everything right away I decided to just take a picture of her 'showing' you her many accomplishments throughout the day. This will include her dressed in Sunday clothes each week since she insists that Daddy needs to see her in her pretty dresses!
This picture is of the lego tree that she put together all by herself. It was really tall since she stacked two on top of each other!
We miss you!

The blue food dye is genius! Why can't I have your ideas??! Those are some lucky little ones to have a mom like you. Seriously. Looks like you're having fun in Vegas, miss you!
