Modern Art

The little girls enjoyed the super-sensory exhibit at the Hirshorn.

I thought it was pretty cool too.

Memorial Day

We had a nice Memorial Day--ward breakfast, then swimming with friends.  The three day weekend was pretty swell too (though a bit hot).  We managed to celebrate Ellie's birthday (but just barely, poor kid), played with friends, and went to a barbecue with my babysitting co-op.

Cousins

Last weekend I enjoyed some family time.  So nice.  I met my brother and my cousin and their families at Maryland's Cafe Rio for an early dinner.  We ate around 4 p.m.  The kids quickly tired of the sitting politely at the table and began to run around the restaurant so we sent them outside and the dads, Scott and Harley watched them (eight kiddies entertaining themselves by climbing a cement wall that bordered a cement patio).  I sat inside with the ladies talking about kids and pregnancies and baby names until finally Harley came in and said, "We're losing the battle.  We need to go."  We retired to a nearby park where our accommodating kiddos played till about 8:30 that evening. I really enjoyed visiting with family.  It's the main thing I miss living out here so it's nice to get a bit of it every now and then.

 

 

 

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was quite nice this year.  I pretty much got to laze around while Drew dealt with the kids and their diapers and whatnot.  I slept in a bit and then laid in bed reading until Andrew came up to tell me that breakfast was ready.  After church I also read in bed until he announced dinner was ready.  Ahhh, so nice.  I just wish Mother's Day was a bi-annual occurrence. 

Letterboxing

Earlier in the week we went letterboxing with Lizzie's Brownie troop.  It was loads of fun and the girls were really sweet with Lainey and Ellie which I really appreciated.  This is definitely on our summer "to do" list.

 

Girls Night at the Bounce House

It was a crazy Saturday night, but the girlies loved it.  I loved seeing them have so much fun together.
