Keeping Ourselves Busy

Since Brian's been home recovering from his appendectomy and has needed more "quiet" than normal, we've been keeping ourselves busy!

On Sunday, we tried to spend most of the day out of the house so Brian could get some rest.

Before we left, we set up a little reading area
upstairs to enjoy while Mama showered!

And after I showered, we did a little after shower selfie.

We ran a few errands and stopped at Petland to
see lots of pets!  Maya LOVED this little pup.
We visited with several pups in the play areas!

We dressed up quietly as Elsa.

And practiced using our powers.

And we also got warm and cozy in a bubble bath!

On Monday, we decided to get involved in some slime and rainbow art since we've still been on a rainbow kick and St. Patty's Day is this week:

Kate selected the green color and we made homemade slime!

After we cut up a bunch of tissue paper, Kate constructed a rainbow!

Select, crumple, glue, repeat.

Rainbow success!

We also dressed up as Cinderella, complete with
hair up and gloves.
Side note: I already know I'm going to miss these
dress up days one day...

When Maya got up from her nap, she got to play with some slime
too!  I think she also tasted it...

We also tried to teach Maya how to smile for the camera!  Love them!

On Tuesday, we let our curls loose for a little fun at the park and got lots of genuine bath time giggles:

That hair though!  The humidity does wonders for Kate's
gorgeous locks!

On Thursday, St. Patrick's Day, we saw what sort of shenanigans we could keep ourselves busy with at home:

We smiled our big smiles!

Played with some shamrocks on the felt board!

Picked out some fun toys to play with.

Tormented the dog.

And played in the playroom.

Those eyes.  Those lips.  That sweet baby perfection!

On Saturday, we once again looked into what sort of fun we could have at home.  Brian was feeling much better and actually went into work for a half of a day on Friday, so our "extra quiet/calm" enforcement was lifted!

Kate wanted to wear my sweatshirt during snack
because she was chilly.  She was dressed as
Princess Jasmine complete with belly showing.

And she looked so stinkin' cute.

I just love her to bits.

This picture cracks me up.  Maya sitting in her seat, Kate eating
Maya's puffs, and Jack watching her every move for any spare
pieces that fall to the floor...  This is my life.  And I love it.

Maya and her peas.  Don't let that face fool you.
She is NOT a fan of peas.

We are thankful that Brian is feeling much better and seems to be recovering quite quickly from surgery.  I imagine we'll still be keeping ourselves busy but that comes with the territory these days!
