Kick-A day

Today was a kick-A day. Gorgeous weather, snow cones, lunch with friends at Olive Garden, then brownies & lounging the late afternoon away by the pool. For not really napping all day, Max did pretty darn good. At least, up until 20 minutes ago. But he's pretty darn pooped after swimming laps around Fallon in the pool. Fallon is 16 days younger than Max so she's not as advanced as he is at most things. Maybe when we take our swim lessons with her in August she'll do better. (hopefully the sassy sarcasm is coming through and you know I love Fallon, but love teasing her mother, Natalie even more).

We started by heading to the grand opening of the new Babies-R-Us in Glendale. They had Strawberry Shortcake, some Teenage mutant ninja turtle, and Geoffrey the Giraffe there. My friend Sachia wanted us to get pictures with the characters, but she didn't know I don't do people in costumes- freaks me out. I don't like when I can't see their faces. It's not as big as the one in West Covina, but who wants to go to West Covina? And its still well stocked and I'll go anywhere for a free snowcone. Then it was off to lunch at Olive Garden which totally hit the spot. Max and Fallon are big enough for high chairs so it was pretty cute to watch them play and try to hold hands.

After a pitstop at Joanne Fabrics, where hopefully the fabric I bought will eventually find its way into curtains for our bedroom, it was off to the pool at Sachia's. We snacked on brownies, played in the warm pool water and lounged in the sun. Great casual afternoon. Max and Fallon loved being in their little floaties, but check out the hilarious horse-head on Fallon's floatie. The best part was watching Natalie spend 30 minutes trying to blow it up :)

Check out Max and his frog-like kickin'.
