saturday - the kids woke up at 6am and played for an hour or so together nicely before asking for tv or food. they made a fun fort with neal and told scary stories while i was at the gym. both kids were exhausted and needed to nap but neither one did. neal and i each tried to lay with rex to get him to sleep - stinker! we went out for mexican for dinner and to anderson's for ice cream with uncle ryan! the kids were excited to see him!! malloy and rex were so cute with their ice cream. once we got our ice cream and sat down at the table. they were immediately sharing. malloy asked "would you like to try some of my ice cream?" and fed some to rex. then he did the same to her. it's so neat to see them interacting like big kids!! 

today we just hung out at home. we played with playdoh in the morning, among other things! rex has been obsessed with birthdays and birthday parties since malloy's party. he will randomly just start talking about his birthday party and then give every pretend balloons, pretend cupcakes, and pretend presents. sometimes he had hulk birthdays, sometimes superhero squad, sometimes green lantern. he gets so into it!! today he was planning a party and had malloy go to it. she played along and played party for a bit. 

 i went to the gym and neal put the kids down for nap. malloy slept, rex did not. he was banging on his door and finally figured out how to open his door. he was so proud of himself when he came out! i made him go right back in and he cried until he woke malloy up. it was a not-so-quiet quiet time today! 

this afternoon, we cleaned and rearranged malloy and rex's bedrooms! since the weather is getting warmer and their heads won't freeze if they're against an outside wall, we moved the beds so there's more room to play. both of them loved their "new" rooms and played in them the rest of the afternoon.

*potty update* rex is doing great with the potty! he goes pee on his own quite a bit. he can get his pants down, but still has trouble pulling them back up. and he'll sit on the potty when he had to poop. it's fantastic! now we need to work on getting out of those pull-ups at nap and night time!
