Puddle Jumping

After a day of very stormy weather we went outside to jump in some puddles.  I only had Blair's old rain boots so they are 3-4 sizes too big for Nora.  She couldn't really walk in them so she had to stand pretty still.

Blair thought it was so much fun to just run and splash.  She loved holding the umbrella too, although it wasn't actively raining at that point.  She found a flower to put in the water and watch it flow downstream and loved to chase it.

Nora liked to watch her sister, she thought it was pretty funny.  She tried to take steps.

Her favorite thing was splashing in the puddles with her hands.

They were just having a blast!

This might be one of my favorite pictures EVER!  That look of adoration and happiness on Nora's face and the fun Blair is having just makes my heart SO happy!

"Sissy you're so funny"

They take all those adorable pictures and this is what happens when I ask them to pose, haha!  I guess I just need to let them be natural!

Train Museum

We met up with our friends for a trip to the train museum. We hadn't been in a while so it was fun.

Nora was in heaven getting to be a big kid and run around everywhere.  She was into everything.  It was tough having two mobile kids, thank goodness for lots of mommy friends to help out.

Blair was in heaven to have her friends with her so she just followed them around or bossed them around depending on who was in charge in the moment.

 Such a cheeser, she was seriously so happy to just be loose to explore.

 Always coming back to make sure mommy is close by!

 Both girls enjoyed playing at the train tables.  We could probably sit there for an hour and neither would complain or even care where you were.  There are about 6 tables and they just go between all of them, they have some cool stuff!

 Nora and Grant were pushing trains back and forth at each other threw this little tunnel, it was really cute.

We had a picnic lunch outside afterwards.  All the kids were so wonderful and happy to be picnic-ing. Then they ran around on this grassy field for a long time before settling by the tree.  The 4 of them just sat over there and played.  We couldn't hear them but it looked like Blair was the doctor as she was working on all the boys as her patients... the kids later confirmed at this is what was happening.  I can't believe they were all letting her boss them around for so long.

Blair and Jackson often fight but only a few little tiffs today and they were mostly best buddies.

It was a really fun day!
