Cuddles on a ride

Seriously - they CUDDLE on the rides - I can't believe how amazing these two are.

Two Grumps at Breakfast

Maggie!  Why so grumps!  Look at those waffles!



Charlie!  Why do you look like a 1960's modern artist!?

Nightswimming

This picture is from LegoLand California.

Charlie had to wear a life-vest (resort rules!).  He took it like a champ.  And he and Maggie look so cute in this beautiful photo.... It makes me miss them so much!

Ice Cream!

I think this must have been at an AMAZING PLACE because look at these AMAZING Ice-Creams!  (And these cute kids!)

Building Legos

Charlie can sit and build lego's for hours.  Here he is at Poppy & Cookie's house - building a massive roller coaster!

Dancing

Look at these two running & dancing in the lights!

Climbing High

Here we go!  Charlie is teaching Maggie how to climb!



So high!

Dino Park!

This is a cool park in Los Angeles - I've never been there, but these kids love it!




Goofin around in a tunnel

Hockey Star

A nice family I was talking to took this picture of Charlie - they thought he was SO COOL!

Grubbin

We need a quick re-fuel at Marbles.  Even Charlie eats snacks when we're this active!

Collecting balls

There's a cool room at Marbles where the kids all collect green balls and send them into a giant pig who drops them on the kids every 5 minutes.  Actually that sounds really weird when I say it out loud.  In any case, here's Maggie taking part!

Kids At Marbles

They have a new "camping" room at Marbles that the kids love.  There's all sorts of equipment in there. Right now it's mostly skiing type stuff so...

Here's Charlie



And Maggie looking cute!




Just chilling in the sled!

What kind of sandwich? A cracker sandwich!

What kind of sandwich IS that?  It's... a cracker sandwich.  Just... 3 crackers!  Go Maggie?

Maggie's Boo-Boo

So... we were hanging out... having fun -



You know... having dinner -



When suddenly, there was a bit... of... an accident.



Poor Maggie!

We made it OK with some Ice & PJ Masks...

Shark vs. Shield

After Maggie's "Sick Day", we had to take it really easy.  As you can see, she learned how to fight a shark with a shield!

At the Museum of Life & Science!

Maggie's favorite thing at the Museum is definitely the animals.

Turtle!




And Alligators!

Maggie was SO Sick!!

Well, she acted sick at school.  But when I got her home, all that illness suddenly disappeared!  She seemed.... fine!  You be the judge.

Maggie & Her Balloon

When Charlie was out of town, Maggie's balloon took a major role in both our lives!

First, it had to play iPad with her.


Then... it had to brush it's... teeth?  I guess!?

Daddy & Maggie at the Park

When momma brought Charlie to Florida for a few days, Daddy had Maggie all to himself!  We had  a ton of fun our first afternoon - we went to the park, and Maggie loves climbing and the swings - just like her brother!

She climbed so high!


So much fun on the swing!

Just Readin'

Here's Charlie, just hanging out, reading his star wars comic book.  He just looks so... chill!

What does Maggie do during Ninja class?

Chillin!

Maggie's First Haircut

So... after Charlie got a haircut... guess who wanted to sit in the Batman car!?

We weren't planning on getting Maggie a haircut, but the lady was so nice, and Maggie was psyched!

Before:


During... Uncertain:


During... getting Happy!



All Done!  SO cute!

Charlie getting a haircut!

He chose... the FROZEN car!

Looking good buddy!

NINJA

Charlie does some amazing things at Ninja class - check this out!

Hangin w/ Eva

We finally had the Van Pelt's over for lunch and some beers after not seeing them for... ever!

Maggie showed everyone how to cook


And Linnea had fun with Charlie and Eva!

Daddy and Charlie watch a Movie

Charlie is a bit obsessed with Superheroes.  So mommy and daddy thought we would give Charlie a treat and let him watch a superhero movie for grown-ups (Spiderman Homecoming - we watched it first to make sure it was OK for him).

I was so worried he would be scared, but instead he was pretty bored by all the talking and made me jump around to the fighting parts!  Oh well.  We had fun.  And popcorn!

Let Them Eat Cake

And... they will be happy.  This was at Gray's birthday (which was awesome)

Some light dinner reading

Charlie has this whole book memorized!  So he likes to read it to the other kids. I can't tell how much he is actually reading, but he fore sure has the whole thing memorized!  He'll read it to Maggie whenever she asks!

Superhero Love!

These costumes have become a regular part of our lives - Charlie is Iron Man, and Maggie is Wolverine.  They haven't met yet in the MCU, but evidently they have a very solid relationship!

Maggie got in on that Sky Zone fun, too!

She wasn't quite as airborne as Charlie, but she LOVES running around on the trampolines!
