Here comes the sun, and I said... it's alright.

We spent the morning at the zoo with friends: beautiful Isabel, her hilarious brother Beckett, and their amazing mommy Angie. The weather was perfect, and so was the company. Let's go again sometime, Ang!

It's been a while since I've had a photo of Markus. He's hard to catch with the camera. This morning the temperature was a beautiful 12C, so we headed to the playground. Bailey had a great time in the swing (as usual), and the boys were busy pretending something involving a lion, t-rex, and a giant bird called a gap - inspired by his hoodie, perhaps? haha
It warmed up pretty quickly, so we shed our hoodies and started heading home - this crew was not made for hot weather!

Deacon had a great time chatting with his daddy at supper today. He is getting very generous with his smiles - I can't believe how quickly he is growing up!

I am delighted that these cuties are finally entertained by PlayDoh on their own. I know they got tired of me saying no most of the time they'd ask to play with PlayDoh, but in the past it really meant Mommy plays and they'd tell me what to make. Now they entertain themselves for at least an hour when we pull it out. Win!

There's nothing really spectacular about this photo, but it's not bad. Good enough, I guess.

You might think we have four kids, but the truth is we have a baby boy, a monkey, bunny, and a bat. The monkey and bunny are quite predictable since they like to eat bananas and carrots, but the monkey has to watch his back very carefully because the bat actually likes to eat monkeys. How is this possible? I have no idea, but apparently it's true.

Two weeks of swimming lessons have come to an end for these boys. They both made a lot of progress and had a lot of fun, so I consider it a win. Hopefully we'll get them in lessons again in the fall and they can continue to build their confidence in the water.

When she makes her mind up, it is nearly impossible to reason with her. Today Bailey was determined to wear one of her fancy dresses. While I tried to steer her in another direction, I realized that life is for living. Why not wear the fancy dress?! She probably won't have another special occasion to wear it for, so doesn't it make more sense to wear it outside to run around and play with water, than to leave it hanging in the closet until it's too small to put on her sweet, pudgy body?

Clay and I love trying new restaurants, or restaurants that are new to us. There's a local place we have wanted to try for a few years, but they have the most inconvenient hours so we have never eaten there until today. We had a lunch date with Deacon, and behold my clubhouse sandwich on the best croissant I have ever tasted. Not the most affordable sandwich, but definitely a delicious treat.
