A whole bunch of Silly's!

 If only she would sit still.... "POTTY?" Yes... Please use it... She told me the other day as I was doing some dishes... "Mommy, P.U., Change da diaper".  So anxious for her to really want to use the potty!!!

 Up, down, up, down... now she's sitting....

 And now she's not....

 Minny was entertaining for a minute but after all the getting up and down, I decided to just put the diaper back on before she had an accident... Well, that didn't last long and she figured out how to take it off herself.  Thankfully when she did, she went right back to the potty!


 and now we wait....

 brush our teeth....

 A little horse riding....

 oops... Missed the potty!

 A little "spinning"

 some up side down time....

 Maybe this is a new fangled way of using the potty??? last time I check... it doesn't come out of our toes...

 some slipper time...

 and a little snuggle with Ellie... Not kidding... this is all within 2 minutes!  She is just a little too busy!

We had to get some ants out of our pants before bed the other night.... And I think we shook them right on out!






Followed by a little ring around the Rosie....

 All fall down... lot's of cute buns!

 And some fun airplane rides with Daddy...
 BATH TIME!!!




 The girls always have so much fun in the bath... Making bubble beards, splashing, jumping... and it's always nice when Clara lends a hand to clean some buns for me!

And a little peek at Clara's valentines project she has been working so hard at!  She wrote her name on all 25 of them, cut the ends to make them pointy and stuck the glow sticks in by herself!  My little crafter ;-)

Fresh air and exercise....!

 No Rain... Had to take advantage and play outside for a bit... We forgot what that feels like!

 And straight up into the play house Clara went!  Can't wait for summer!

 Not sure what there looking at, but it just might be a discussion about huckleberries... We miss them!

 And down the slide she goes!  

 "come on Natalie, lets play"

 I really think she could live on the swing, except someone would have to live with her since she still doesn't try to pump those darn legs!

 And down the slide Natty goes!  It's going to be a whole different summer at the Calkins since she can go up the ladder and down the slide herself!

 heading around for some more...


 Such cute little faces....  It was still COLD out....

 "jumping"

 And a little game of chase....

 followed by a hug... I wish they always wanted to hug!




 And now the sun is peeking through... Back out for some more play time! Clara runs to the swing....

And Natalie straight to the slide!  Peek a boo! 

" I'll catch you Natalie"

 "oh you did such a good job!" Love to see them playing so well together!













 CHEESE!

 And the little Queen's of the stump....

 Since the sun has hidden... We found a fun place to burn some energy... Pip stayed the night with Nana and Papa so we were waiting to meet them here!

 "Beep, beep"

 Have no fear... Apparently... She went up it all by herself...

 and down she goes!




 ALL SMILES!  and ready for some MORE!!!



 Pip's is here, as Natalie now calls her :-)

 And Pip's is all about picking Natalie up...!

 Super hard to get a clear shot, but had to incorporate some blurry ones... Fun times going down together!








 This is what the slide looks like... It's fast!!!!

 And a jump house... Nana's not jumping here, but don't let her fool you... The kid did come out in her!





 See.. KID!  Going down with Pip....!

 Whoooaaaaa! WHOOOHOOOO!

 Right up back she went... Had to take Natters....


 SO MUCH FUN!!! That was Nana and Mommy's exercise for the day... And hopefully a good night sleep for the little one!
