summer when little attitudes turn fussy and hot

i actually do not have a lot of pictures this week
oddly enough i was running after 2 feral children all week and weekend i did not have time to take pictures
we went to the natural history museum on sunday which was great fun
Silas ran around the museum with his arm out stretch screaming at the top of his little bubby voice
"WOW!!! WHAS THAT??"
his favorite of course was a swan
which he had to repeatly talk to
"QUACK QUACK QUACK" "WHAS THAT?" "WOW" "QUACK"
so i saw aaron and sadie occasionally while running after silas who was pushing people aside to look at ALL the neat stuff
it was a good day
and of course that meant walking to the botanical gardens to play in ALL the fountains
sadie was more reserved and did not want to get wet....Silas decided to walk into and through every fountain he could...even the ones that were not built for little people to play in
we will be heading back this week for more fun
sadie's new big thing is to play mommy
she likes to give me medicine kisses and watch me cry when she leaves to go to work
she is being a great big sister
I MEAN GREAT!!!
not sure how i could handle bubby without her help
we got some flash cards so she could teach silas his ABC's
and she is
she plays with him as much as he will let her and they love to play footsie
this is the new favorite activity before bed
they wrestle, dance, and LAUGH which is great to let them get all wired up before bed
(smart move on my part...but afterwards we usually sit down for some reading and quiet time...this can last up to an hour depends on how much dancing was going on)
new favorite movie in the house
"Totoro"
which if oyu have not seen is a must.....even if you are over 4 ft tall
that is all for today i will try and snap some good pictures this week
ps. sadie has her first dentist appt today!!! wish us luck
