Jack attack!

Mary and Jack had their weekly play date this morning and it was lots of fun!

The top was a challenge for both, but still fun.

Mary was bouncing so furiously that I couldn't find a non-blurry picture.

Mary liked to hold Howdy's tail while Jack took a turn.

Playing with letters is always fun.

Jack was very focused.

Mary decided her outfit needed some fancier shoes, so she raided Mama's closet.

Taking a much needed break.

Phone pictures

Here are a couple of Children's Museum pictures from my phone. Unfortunately there's a problem with the exposure, but that doesn't affect Mary's cuteness :-).

"Painting" with water.

Listening to a book on tape. It lasted about 10 seconds so I was lucky to get a shot.

Easter

We had a very nice Easter weekend!

Let the egg hunt begin!

If it has a strap, Mary will wear it like a purse :-).

Some pre-church grooming.

A quick shot of Mary's all white outfit before she started running around.

She had a Marilyn moment in the church. Luckily mass had already ended.

Living out of a box

Mary got some solid entertainment from a large Diapers.com box last night.

We started by installing the necessities.

Then it was time for a break.

Gearing up for peek-a-boo.

Jack is back!

We had to skip last week's play date with Jack so Mary was excited to see him today.

Music is always a fun time.

Mary was so excited about Jack's books that she wanted to have all of them out at once.

Riveting.

Jack was ready for lunch.

Mary loved Jack's meatballs. Now I just need her to be so adventurous at home!

Playing with Anna Maria

Anna Maria came to visit yesterday!

Anna Maria was hard at work in the kitchen.

Mary was eager to show off her favorite shirt.

Markers and other activities

Mary loves coloring and she especially likes markers. Luckily they are washable.

Mary had trouble keeping the marker on the paper.

My thoughts exactly.

Dressing her new doll Eloise.

Peek-a-boo Barn is pretty fun.

Playing with Anna Maria

Mary got to play with Anna Maria in the park yesterday.

Who's turn is it?

Mary isn't too keen on the rules of soccer.

Plaground

Mary had lots of fun at the playground this morning!

Scooting around.

Riding a big girl bike ... with a little help from Evy.

Mary and Evy switched snacks and then they were both happy.

Soccer

We hit the Greenway for some soccer during the warm weather recently.

Kicking the ball around.

It was so warm Mary decided to shed her jacket.

Mary enjoyed flying the plane at the Children's Museum.

She put on her game face for a ride in the Bobcat.

Toddler park

We took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and visited a toddler park near us.

Mary's version of walking on the balance beam.

There weren't any other kids around so Mary got to climb up the slide.

Going up and down the stairs was one of Mary's favorite things to do.

Mary likes to say "Me slide!"

Playground with Jack

Mary and Jack met up for a play date at the playground this morning.

Making music or just peeking through?

Preparing to go down the slide.

Taming the lizard took both of them.

Going down the stairs like big kids.
Swinging is always fun.

Under the weather

Mary has had a cough recently, but she's powered through it for the most part.

Riding the horse at the playground this morning.

Going for a ride with a little help from Evy.

Coloring in her new Monkey pjs.

Focusing while trying to put the cover back on the marker.
