We went on a playdate to the craft festival downtown today. Our treat was ICE CREAM! We really enjoyed it, if you can't already tell. :)

Backyard Paradise PLAYDATE

Seth and Emma's newest swimming method, sitting down into the pool backwards. Which doesn't seem to phase Phin one bit.

We DIG the SAND!

CAUTION: Munchkin lovers!

A nice lunch together

SOO CUTE! Phin, Emma, Jordy & Seth enjoying their popsicles.

These were the fun highlights... First it started off with trying to picnic next to the lake (something we've done many times before). Then the (now older) baby ducklings attacked us from all sides and stole our sandwiches right out of Seth and Emma's hands. Traumatized we tried to finish our lunches, threw noodles and misc food items to try and get them to leave us alone. Emma sat yelling, "shoo duckies!!" while I swatted at them with my flip flops. All while Seth climbed on top of my head to safety. OH WHAT A DAY!

Color's of the RAINBOW

We are both getting better at painting using brushes and hands. We try to spread out the paint on the paper so that you can see the different colors too. We LOVE to PAINT!

Happy Birthday to US!

We LOVED opening presents, Thank you everyone!

Mommy and Grammie helped us blow out our elmo candles, it was so much fun!

Emma dressed up in her Babyhoot Superhero gear for her Birthday Party.

Emma and Grammie

Soooo COOOL!

this is the way... we put on our shoes!

Seth's sandals happen to be a little bit harder to wiggle his toes into.
Emma almost has the concept down.

We have been working hard at learning to put our sandals on. We can get them off no problem!

This is the day that we got REALLY THIRSTY! We drank, and drank, and drank some more.

we're under the weather :(

We've been feeling a little icky this past week. Trying to get better with lots of fluids and TLC.

hiking on the "secret" trails

Feeding the ducks & geese

The Manlius duck pond is full of very friendly duck and geese. There were also many baby duckies and goslin running around.

down by the river

Near Camillus there is a secret river with secret trails that we visit sometimes. Our favorite part is throwing rocks into the river to make a big SPLASH!

We LOVE mommy & daddy!

We LOVE YOU!!

Love, Seth & Emma

The Creation Station

Emma loves glue :)
Using the Creation Station to create artwork

Digging through the creation station box

The Creation Station is a box full of surprise art supplies. The "surprise item" may change day to day or week to week. The box includes tape, scissors, glue etc. as well as paper and items to create on. The Creation Station is intended to let them choose what to do with their artwork without guidelines.

SUPER Seth & Emma
