Fun Friday!

Billy creating a masterpiece with Kai. Once Kai found the paint station we couldn't pull him away from it. The boy clearly knows what he likes. He also knows he likes daddy's sunglass style, he wore them on top of his head the whole time.

Fun with playdough!

Kai finally convinced Daila that the paint station was the place to be!

Still a little confused as to why we're standing in water...

Whoa!!! It comes out of the ground!


What an amazing day. We signed up for an arts and crafts class as both Kai and Daila seem to love making stuff. It was their first time interacting in a large group of kids their age, so we were anxious to see how they both reacted. Well Kai barged in and started chatting it up and interacting with everyone right away while Daila was a little more hesitant and roamed around and checked out the outskirts before venturing in. Once they were both inside it was mainly the play dough and paint stations that they wanted to be at. We had a blast and Kai and Daila were both creating up a storm. It was an interesting situation for Billy and I too as we've rarely interacted with strangers so far in our parenting journey. We discovered today that maybe that's not a bad thing. We've always had a little family mantra that "if it's not fun, we're not doing it." Now i'm sure it has a little to do with the community we live in, it's mostly all young families, and it's no secret there is a major "soccer mom" presence that runs deep around here. Well, let's just say Billy and I are clearly the exception to that. In other words, do we care if you get "washable" paint all over your clothes? No. Is it okay to talk to other kids in a social setting and share your toys? Yes. Duh.. these seem like no-brainers to me. Well, all we know is our kids had a great morning, and then we even followed it up with a stop for lunch at Baja Fresh,where the fun water fountains are right outside. We've always passed it in the stroller, but today we finally stopped and let them play in it. At first they didn't understand it, but as soon as the water started spouting it was game on! Daila especially is the water lover, and she ran to middle of the fountain as soon as we got there. Needless to say they had an extra long nap this afternoon :)
