May Mania

May can be a pretty crazy month for us, as it is pretty much the only FULL month of school, that includes testing and preparations for the final push in June.  Thankfully, our little munchkin is a great excuse to leave work behind and just play.  

May was also wonderfully warm, inspiring some super cute pre-summer wardrobe choices.  

Exploring the stairs!

 While Mom was ignoring her work, Dad was busy with his own studies at UW as he finished up his Masters.  Escaping to the library was a smart choice both because it provided a quiet, distraction-free zone and air conditioning.  At least, it was distraction free until we came to visit...

Channeling her inner Papa-Kay at the library. 

Right outside the library is our local big toy, playground.  Eila’s learning how to play tube peek-a-boo.

Krazy Kiddo.

Every now and then we introduce Eila to new foods.  You can create your own caption for her reaction to buttermilk.  Sorry, Papa Kay!

We really do try to put work away on the weekends.  Olympia recently opened a new children’s museum, which is amazing.  It may even rival the Omaha Children’s museum.

I can’t squeeze through!

I’m pretty certain children’s museums are purposely made to be just as entertaining for the adults.  

Honey, I shrunk my family!

Since Eila sometimes suffers from RSF (Resting Sad Face) perhaps her shoes will serve as evidence that she actually had a blast playing in Olympia.  She scuffed them beyond recognition on the outside tricycle track - too bad it was the first time she had worn the adorable kicks!

When it is finally time to try and get something productive done, we let Eila have full run of the condo.  Since stairs are no problem, nothing is really safe or sacred - including Zoe’s bed.  

Ahh, the sweet look look of contained peace and quiet.

In case you were wondering, Zoe wasn’t overly amused by Eila’s invasion of her home - but that paled in comparison to her opinion of shared bath time.  Tough!  It’s a rite of passage to get the sister tub time picture.  

Eila was sure to keep things “G-rated."

I’ll leave you for this evening with our own little Cinderella keeping the house clean.  Since I’m fairly certain Eila’s NEVER seen me do this, I’m fairly confident we can attribute this new trick to Jamie-the-wonder daycare provider!
