We're headed off to do some bug hunting. Mils is equipped with her magnifying glass and trusty backpack.
We encounter ants, lots of snails, and these two hilarious dogs in a neighbor's window. Check out how furiously they are barking at the kids. So funny.
Christopher and I made this cape for Millie for Christmas. I was silently devastated when she quickly lost interest and it hung alone in the closet. Ah Ha! It's become a new favorite and Super Millie has been racing around our house!
Super Millie to the rescue! Helping Simon spin some dancing tunes. I have no idea why neither of them are wearing shirts here. I'd like to blame it on watermelon eating, but who really knows...
A nightly event is the family walk around the block with Casey (usually minus Mom, who is most often at home pulling dinner together). Sometimes Mils is on her bike; Simon likes to push the baby stroller or ride Millie's old tricycle. It's a lot for Christopher to manage, really, but he's gotten to know a lot of neighbors who seem to look forward to his evening caravan.
Quick break to teach Millie how to shake hands: "Nice to meet you. I'm Millie."
You have no idea how exciting this is: Simon is willingly holding my hand! We've been working on this for MONTHS and most often it ends in an attention-drawing drag/dangle/swing of Simon across a busy street during which he is screaming and kicking the entire way. I'm pretty excited he's decided to cooperate in his own safety measures.
