Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese

Alex's sister (our friend that stayed with us for two months at the beginning of the school year) had a birthday party today, and we got an invite:

The girls went a little wild on the arcade games.

Windermere Park and McMurtrie Farms

Normally we would have gone to crafternoon, but the weather was so nice that we decided to do something outdoors instead. This park is just a half mile from our house. It's kind of fun to see a bunch of goats and chickens in our suburban neighborhood.

Random Pictures

The kids' favorite thing to do when they find my phone is to go around snapping pictures. (I delete dozens of pictures every week.) These were the best pics of the last week:

Story of my life. This kid is always underfoot. His favorite thing is to climb into the dishwasher. But he likes the fridge too.

Not a selfie.

Our little bookworm.

9 Months Old

This kid turned 9 months old about 2 weeks ago. He has six teeth, is a great crawler, likes to pull himself up on furniture, loves to pull books off the shelves, and will put anything in his mouth that he can get his hands on. (The only safe places in the house are his playpen and his crib, which he hates.) He had his well check up yesterday, and he is in the 2nd percentile for weight and the 71st percentile for height.

I took this one at Lego Lab this week. The library has four WeDo 2.0 sets, and the girls can create their own robot (Milo) and then program it using code to do certain tasks. I love all the cool STEM toys that they make nowadays. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a Snap Circuit set for the girls, which teaches them about electricity. So cool!

I took this one a while back. They had matching jammies on, although totally by chance.
