Late night tub time

Lots of tickling and kisses happened during Brooks and Ava's tub time last night. You would have never thought they were driving each other cray-zy allllll day yesterday. ;)

Fresh out of the tub...

Jumping on the bed, fresh out of the tub...

Playing with the animals their Daddy played with when he was a boy...

Stealing kisses...

Awesome half-wet hair dos...

Telling Mama what the gorilla and lion both say...

...all made up a small part of an afternoon that I never want to forget.

Moon Park + a video

Our afternoon at Moon Park today was the best we've had in a while. I'm so glad I decided before hand that I'd get some video...because goodness, Brooks and Ava were as sweet as honey to each other, which isn't always the case. ;) From watching them share apples and gold fish crackers, to helping me draw stars with sidewalk chalk, to playing in the sand and cracking each other up, I couldn't help but feel oh-so grateful to call them mine. It's afternoons like these that make up for the grocery store tantrums, the sleepless nights, and the silliest fights over not wanting to share the silliest "toys" (kitchen utensils as of late).

The song on the video is "I Take Flight" from Mindy Gledhill's new album Pocketful of Poetry...isn't it just magic??  I can't help but hope that my children always know that even though they'll be my babies forever, I also relish in their daily moments of taking flight to learn and grow. 

Snow Cone Kisses

We've been home sick alllll week...so I'll just satisfy my snow-cone craving and itch to get out and drive somewhere by sharing these photos from a few weeks ago. It was such a sweet afternoon out with Brooks and Ava. I tell ya, 90 percent of the time, those two are either doing their own thing, or they're driving each other ca-razy. But the other 10 percent, are filled with moments like sharing snow cones and giving kisses covered in the snow cone juice. ;) They make my heart burst.
