Weekend recap

Not the most exciting weekend, but we got out and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

After 2 years, Olson finally showed some interest in the little basketball net.

 Mommy had a wild hair to pull weeds in the backyard, and had to laugh out loud when I spotted this on the deck.

We also had some fun inside. Olson made "snacks" for everyone in the play kitchen, including Mary Carson!

Mary Carson had her first solid foods! A little avocado and a little mango. She didn't seem impressed with either. 

And not to forget LC, here's the one picture of her from the weekend. Taking a water break. And blurry, of course, since she's always in motion!

Liddy Costen's World

LC is a constant source of entertainment. You just never know what she'll come up with next, and it's usually pretty good. 

Whether it's keeping up with current events...

Or being applesauce drunk...

Or today's favorite, conducting important business on the phone while walking to the car for school. While carrying her ducky...

I absolutely love that little girl. ❤️

3 months!

Time is flying, as it always does, and sweet Mary Carson is 3 months already! She continues to be a happy baby, with lots of smiles and coos. She's growing like crazy, but is still working on sleeping at night. Hopefully all this growing will turn into full nights of sleep!

We tried to have a change of scenery for our 3 month pictures...

but clearly Mary Carson didn't like that idea!

So we moved back inside! Happy baby!

Getting longer!

A perfect picture of what was going on--Olson happily posing with the baby, while Liddy Costen was trying to climb into the crib!

Well, I got them all to sit still at the same time. I guess I forgot to tell them to look at the camera.

First Day of Preschool

Since the first day of school fell on a Tuesday, all three kids got to go! And we all made it there in one piece and on time! Go us! There were a few tears, both sad (LC) and of joy (mommy), but everyone survived, and are all old pros three weeks in! Here are a few pics from that first morning. Clearly there was not much cooperation for a group shot. 

Big boy Olson. Loved his lunchbox!

Yes, this is perfect of LC. Always a blur in motion.

Even Mary Carson is getting in the preschool action two days a week!
