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!

Leaping Lizards!

We haven't been to Sky Zone in... forever!  But momma brought the kids a few weeks ago.  Charlie's skills have... improved

Camping... Sort of

At Marbles they have a camping-themed-room.  It's pretty awesome.  You... never know what Maggie will find and be obsessed with.  Today it was mittens!

Playing Lego's Together

Charlie is SO patient with his little sister!  He helps her make his big-kid lego's!

This video warms my heart!

Maggie at Marbles

Maggie - when we walk into Marbles - "I go in BOAT!"

Then she is happy 

But five minutes later... "I go in OTHER BOAT!" 

Then she's a happy pirate!

A few minutes later - "I go in yellow boat?"

Then she's a happy scientist!

Making forts

These two have really started to play together so well - it's adorable.  They play and play and play, then one of them tries to kill the other one, but after a few minutes they play and play and play!

Here they are after building a fort!



Looking good, Mags!

OK. A few more of Maggie from School

When it's cold outside, Maggie drives!

This might be my favorite picture of Maggie... ever.

A whole Crew!

Sometimes Avery comes over to play. Sometimes Adelaide comes over to play... Sometimes... BOTH of them come over to play.  These days the more kids, the merrier, so it's all good!

Here they are at lunch time -



These two besties :)

Christmas Reading!

Charlie is a big lap-sitter.  Loves the laps.  And the books!  This is him with his other teacher - Beth!  I think she likes Charlie, too!

More Maggie at Pre-School!

They take some CUTE pics of our Maggie at pre-school.



I guess they love their Play Doh!
