Last week I took the kids to the mall in Frisco. The play area was very busy at first. One kid grabbed on to Brenden’s leg and basically shoved him off the top of a rubber waterfall. He was not happy, but quickly got back into playing. Eventually it slowed down enough in there for me to put Emily down and let her have some fun too. She took right to climbing on things and through the tunnels.

Later that day Brenden was eating some yogurt and came up to me looking like this:

“Ho ho ho, I’m Santa Claus,” he said. See all his angry red bug bites?

Emily was so happy here I had to take her picture. And I didn’t want Brenden to feel left out, so his is below.

One night I was cooking dinner and put Emily in her exersaucer. She’s really getting too big for it, but I needed her safe while I cooked. After I was done cooking I got her out and this is where she went:

She’s just such a happy girl! And yes, these pictures were all taken in the same week! Just a smidge of variation in the weather.
