working hard on their handprint mardi gras masks

playing at the park!

rolling around on the ground



we had a very busy morning! at 7am, when i realized today was mardi gras, we got out the art supplies and made some handprint mardis gras masks! malloy loved hers. rex loved decorating his but ripped it when i tried to put it on him.
after breakfast, we all got ready to go to the gym. everyone was bundled and in the van and it wouldn't start! (i got it started later - don't worry! just needs a new battery) so we decided since it wasn't freezing out that we would go for a walk and play at the playground. the kids had a BLAST running around. they were so happy to be FREE!!!!! they basically just went up the stairs (or ladder for malloy) and down the slide for the entire we were there. rex passed out in the stroller on the way home. he woke up quickly after we got inside and since i did get the van running, we decided to go to the gym! malloy was very shy when we got to the gym b/c there was a new girl at the gym that she hadn't met yet. i told her that her name was miss sara and i had talked about her before b/c rexie loves her. she seemed to be ok, but was clinging to miss alyssa for a bit. when i went to get them, malloy was coloring with sara and she said
"i'm so happy now because i like her!" it was cute! malloy passed out as soon as she laid down for nap and slept through rex talking for an hour in his crib b/c he wasn't as tired since he had a little snooze earlier.
