Weekend Wrap-Up

Holy moly we have had a busy weekend!

And you guys.  Three-year-olds.  I feel like I'm constantly being bossed around by a tiny, jerky, and ridiculously high-pitched dictator.

It's a good thing she's cute.

Yesterday Chris had to work the local parade, so the girls and I went too.  We ended up using the park and ride system, so Maya got to ride on a school bus for the first time!  It was very exciting.  The girls had fun getting candy from all the different floats.  We cheered loud for Callie's school float, which included her nemesis, THE WASHBURN BEAR.

Callie has always hated, and continues to hate, any and all mascots.

After the parade, we headed to dance class.  Maya participated for a bit, but then was CRAZY so Chris took her to see animals at Petco.

After dance we headed downtown to Boom's new condo!  It is still a work in progress, but here are some inital pictures.  If you have been to (or seen pictures of) her old condo, you might notice it has some similarities.  It does, but it is also different enough to feel new.

The top picture is actually her old condo all empty.  The girls had a blast running around, and were doing so while I was taking the panoramic shot.  That is why it looks like there are lots of them.

In the new place, there is a little room attached to the second bedroom which is now the toy room. Super fun!  As you can see, the view is pretty awesome and everything is bright with all the windows.

The girls had fun out on the deck.  From the deck you can see the old condo, including the Gold Medal Flour building, which house two pigeons, Poopy and Doopy, that the girls always looked for at the old place. Hopefully they'll see them every once in awhile from the new deck.

This morning was relaxed.  Maya and I took a trip to Target, and we went for a walk.  As you can see, the girls' fashion is quite something today.  Thankfully, Callie changed out of the Christmas footie jammies before church.

Remember what I said about three-year-olds at the beginning of this post?  Maya was supposed to go to church too, but never made it.  Why, you ask?  Because she got it into her head that she wanted to wear her flower girl dress from AUNTIE YODA's wedding (circa February 2015, when she was 1.5 years old).  She insisted on putting the dress on and zipping the back zipper BY HERSELF.  And then, for obvious reasons, she couldn't.  And then she TANTRUMMED LIKE THE WORLD WAS ENDING.  And then Chris and Callie had to leave without her.

Three-year-olds are the BEST people to teach you patience.  And I was taught a lesson today.

So she had "quiet time" instead of nap time and then we had to get out of the house for a change of pace.  So we headed to a local open streets festival, PennFest, and wandered around and got mini-donuts.

We also worked on our house a bit, as we inherited a new rug and round table from my mom.

We had cereal for dinner.  That's how awesome life was by 5pm.  To halt the screaming, there was...what else...SNAPCHAT.

And then Callie had to get in on the action.

I must have blocked out the difficulty of transitioning a three-year-old from nap time to no nap time. Though Callie was a good 5 or 6 months older than Maya is now before she dropped her naps.  So I hope this phase goes rather quickly.  We put her to bed about 6:40pm and she was out cold by 6:50...so she was a TIRED LITTLE CHICA.

Have a great week!
