Soaking up some sun

Spring is finally here! It has been a typical Washington Spring, Snow, Hail, rain and occasionally some sunshine. We have been lucky to be able to get out and enjoy some of that sun lately. We went to the Procession of the species in Downtown Olympia a few weeks ago.

Claire slept through most of the procession and she made this face for the rest of it, so I guess she had fun :)

Violet loved the procession! When else do you get to color in the middle of the road and then watch a bunch of animals walk and dance by with a drum line?

My Dad put up a second swing for Claire at their house, Claire is new to swinging and promptly fell asleep.

Next we colored with sidewalk chalk in the backyard, it was a lot of fun. Claire mostly wanted to eat the chalk but she enjoyed crawling all over the pictures and looking at the colors.

Violet was swinging, drawing with sidewalk chalk, playing hopscotch and throwing balls for Trigger. The other day we were in our park and she called to all the dogs.....Betty! Trigger! Annie! Where are you?!
We love living by Yauger park. It is nice to be able to go and swing and run around and Baseball season has started so we will get to go watch games soon!

Claire has been sleeping in this swing, it has really solved our daytime nap problem. She falls asleep easily and Violet knows to leave her alone while she is swinging. (before she would nap in her crib and Violet would go wake her up to play)

While playing in our backyard today Violet decided Claire needed some stickers for decoration.

good thing I pulled them off because Claire got a little pink on her bald little head. That would have made for some interesting tan lines

Violet loves to play catch.

She also loves this echo Mic. I think every child just knows that you say Hellllooooooo into this thing.

This is one of my favorite Claire faces. Well, that is what we have been doing for the past few weeks. We are having lots of fun and miss our cousins, and are excited to see our 2 new girl cousins soon! Go Team Girls!!!!
