the days fly by this time of year! i feel like i just posted yesterday - turns out it's been 5 days! woops!
guess that means it's recap time!!!

wednesday: we went to the museum with some BMG friends in the morning. the kids had a great time and malloy was the best behaved little girl! she was cleaning up when asked without a problem and listened to everything i said the entire time!! she even cleaned up at home before we left. not that she's awful every other day, but the complete compliance was like a dream! i gave her a treat when we got home because she was so good! rex had a blast at the museum, too. he wasn't as clingy as he has been and would wander off and play on his own. it was a nice break for mommy!!!

thursday: i co-oped at malloy's school this morning. she loves when i'm there. everything she does, she yells "mommy, look at me! look what i'm doing!" and she gets to be the line leader and the circle time helper when i co-op. she was so excited to help out at circle! while malloy and i were at school, rex was hanging out with our friends, safina and emery. he was miserable because of his teeth and he still has separation issues. he cried for almost the entire time we were gone. when i went in to get him, he was walking around and smiling, so he wasn't that traumatized!

friday: we went to the gym in the morning and then actually stayed home for once! the kids played upstairs in their rooms while i got some cleaning done downstairs. they play so well together (and also make a HUGE mess!!!). not much else went on today - it was very low key

saturday: we went over to katie's house this morning to have the kids' pictures taken. it was such a wreck!!! malloy was willing to cooperate for a short time, but rex was all over the place! he just wanted to explore. we'll see how they turn out - i'm not expecting miracles, but i have faith that there's at least one good shot! after pictures the kids went to the gym with me so that neal could get some work done at the office. in the afternoon, malloy and i went out to run a few errands. she loves her mommy alone time and is such a good girl. she's quite the little helper these days!!

today the kids hung out with daddy while i went to the gym, store, and then cleaned the house. uncle paddy and auntie andi came over to visit with wally this afternoon. wally ate a chip right out of rex's hand and then kept trying to lick his hand. rex thought it was hysterical and kept putting his hand out so that wally would lick him some more. so cute!!! uncle ryan, kari and bella came over a little bit later. malloy and bella play so nice together. they spent most of the time in her bedroom playing. rex was very upset that he wasn't up there with them. he would cry at the gate until he was distracted by something else. during dinner, the kids sat at the table and bella was feeding malloy her dinner. after each bite, malloy would say "bella, i'm ready!" and bella would shove more food in her face. it was actually quite helpful!!  after dinner, the kids played in the playroom. bella was helping malloy dress up in different costumes and then they would both run out with whatever they had on to show us. they had lots of fun!
