Rocking out video

Pabbi put on some Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mary couldn't help herself.

Walking to the playground. Mary insisted on wearing her soccer outfit to play soccer. 

 

Playing with Pabbi.

 

Dribbling!

 

Climbing "the big blue things."

 

Just opened her birthday present from Uncle Willie.

 

So excited!

 

Mary was super tired after school on Tuesday, and then I realized she had a fever :-(.

  

She stayed home the next day, but was in good spirits and had no symptoms other than a fever.

 

Sometimes the vacuum got really loud and Mary had to cover her ears.

 

Watching a video before bedtime.

A day at the beach

We had great weather today so we headed to the beach. It wasn't suitable for swimming (even if there is warm water pumped into the cove), but Mary had a blast playing in the sand.

 

I planted myself on the towel and mostly observed :-).

 

Mary attempted to fill her bucket, one shovel-full at a time.

 

Building a sand castle. 

 

Mary the menace: she was chasing Pabbi with wet sand to dump on his toes.

 

Mary was so tired from all the fun she fell asleep during the 10 minute car ride home.

Finally it was time to lick the spoon after making brownies.

 

Chocolate face! 

 

It looks like Mary has a new friend in Oddur (Sonja's cousin).

 

Munching on bread at the duck pond. Apparently we're not supposed to feed the ducks at this time of year since they have plenty of food and the bread will only attract unwanted birds.

 

The scavengers were never far away.

 

Frozen yogurt treat on a beautiful day.

 

Mama's rain boots are a bit big for Mary.

Weekend away

Bjossi and I went away for the weekend so Mary got to spend some quality time with Anna fraenka, Einar fraendi and Sonja fraenka.

 

 

Someone is excited about her sippy cup :-).

 

Time for some heavy lifting.

 

Lounging in pjs.

 

Cousin snuggles.

 

Big sister training camp seems to have gone well.

 

Strolling around the zoo.

 

Cool wheels.

New playground

 

The holes in the hammock were big enough for Mary's feet.

 

Finally figured out how to lie down.

 

Swinging! Incidentally, I tried the hammock and it was not comfortable at all.

 

Smoothie mustache!

Mary's birthday celebration at school!

 

Playing the harmonica while everyone sings.

 

Getting three tosses for being three years old.

 

Mary's posed smile is quite dramatic!
