Sunday trip to the playground

"This is a fast slide!"

Pushing Pabbi on the swing.

Then it was Mama's turn to swing.

Mary preferred a shoulder ride over getting into the stroller.

More party pics

Here are some pictures from Afi's birthday party that Sveinn fraendi took.

 

Pretty girl.

 

Mary getting some air.

 

Hanging on the couch during the party. I imagine Sonja wants to say: "I need my personal space, Mary!"

School activities

Helping make a cake for Saga's birthday.

Do I see rhythmic gymnastics in Mary's future?

Lots o' fun!

Master of the balance beam!

The worm obsession continues.

Hanging with Sonja

Snack time. Both girls enjoyed munching on Flatkökur.

Mary chose the "baby computer" for herself and let Sonja have the big girl computer.

Sonja and Anna Fraenka gave Mary her first candy bracelet. Unfortunately it didn't take Mary long to snap the elastic.

Elmo time!

Party!

We celebrated Afi's birthday this weekend. Unfortunately I didn't get a shot of Mary with the birthday boy, but maybe I will come across one later.

 

 Playing outside before the party.

 

A little iPad time at the party.

 

Hanging with Sonja.

 

Time for Sonja's beverage break.

First day of summer!

At least according to the Icelandic calendar. Mary was off from school today and the weather was really nice, although not particularly warm.

Very excited about her summer day present -- her very own floaties!

Our for a walk.

Soccer time.

That goose wanted nothing to do with Mary and hissed at her until she got the hint.

Sonja is here!

Hugs goodbye.

Mary was excited to use her twirling spoon with the spaghetti. There wasn't much actual twirling, but that's not the point :-).

A bit messy, but that's what bibs are for.

Making a PB & J sandwich.

Beautiful day!

We hit the playground to enjoy the nice weather today.

A tame version of zip-lining.

Mastering the balance beam.

Pabbi dominated the rope climb.

Just like Pabbi.

Mary maybe too short to do sit-ups, but she found a way to make use of the bench.

Bonus Easter package

Mary got an Easter package from Nana and Pop!

"It's a bunny!"

Making her baby chick peep.

Mary's first My Little Pony.

Using all the hair accessories that came with My Little Pony.

Then it was time to play with the Mickey Mouse play dough.

Helping Mama with washing.

"I need more work!"

Worms!

Mary has discovered worms and all the excitement they bring.

She didn't hesitate to pick it up.

I convinced Mary to let him go, for fear she might squish him with her hand. It may have been too late for this one, though.

Going to church on Easter.

Easter egg hunt and other fun

The basket started out empty.

The Easter Bunny was pretty sneaky with his hiding places.

Having lots o' fun!

"It's candy!"

Boogying while eating apples.

Cousins play date

Mary played hostess to Anna Maria and Jon Bjarni yesterday afternoon.

Anna Maria was nice enough to reorganize Mary's dinosaur cards.

Playing catch with Palli and Jon Bjarni.

Hugs goodbye!

And more hugs!
