Spring is here!  We've been enjoying the sporadic sunshine when we can.  Now that Millie doesn't nap, we get a little more one-on-one time while Syd naps.  I've enjoyed my time with her.  And popcorn.  We love popcorn.

Syd looks like she's soaking up the sun, but she's actually looking for the airplane she hears...one of her favorite things to do.  She also loves to say "nope" and "ohhhh man".  Milestone note: her other top canine came in.

Beansie survived the winter.  Healthy as a horse.

Buddy too.  Barely.  Millie always says he's "sick and old", and he is...it's starting to show.  He's lost a lot of weight and you can feel his bones.  My poor Buddy.

Break out the spring hoodies!  And accessories...Millie loves necklaces.

Millie has enjoyed playing games lately, like Sneaky Snacky Squirrel and Raccoon Rumpus (her fav).  It's been a fun new activity for us.  We might need to work on her being a good sport when she loses though.

 

Dirty knees, juice boxes, and funny faces...all is right with the world.

Sadly, we've also had a few instances of illness the past couple of months.  One day before I was supposed to leave on a girl trip, Syd gets the croup.  The doctor said her throat looked raw, so she had her first milkshake.

Last weekend, I flew to South Florida to meet my dear friend Ashley for a beach boot camp retreat!

JKK was so thoughtful to book this vacation for me and watch the girls for 4 days while I was away. It certainly wasn't easy with Syd being sick and the weather not being ideal for outdoor play time.  They managed to have some fun and I got cute pics, like these two below, to tide me over.  Buddy got a lot of treats that weekend.

JKK is such a good daddy ;)

The retreat was the perfect mix of exercise and leisure.  It was a great way to get motivated for shorts season and still have plenty of girl time on the beach (with a couple of mojitos).  I'm still sore.

Finally, we get to play on the swing set again!!  How we've missed it...

Big news: Millie has been able to swing by herself (pumping her legs) for months and months now.  Just this week was the first time I've seen her get on a swing and start it all on her own though.  No need for the initial push anymore.  She's completely self-sufficient when it comes to swinging!  Hurray!  You have no idea how much this helps at the playgrounds when I'm not being yelled at to push her on the swing the whole time.

Great (weird) find on the walmart clearance aisle...Millie loves her new unicorn scooter!

First popsicle of the season!  I forgot how messy they were.  Ugh.

It's been Spring Break this week, so no school or Little Gym for the girls.  I did send Millie to Little Gym camp one morning, and she had a great time.  It was a fantasy castle theme, so they got to make their own crowns and play princesses and dragons.  She had a blast.  So glad she's finally old enough to go to stuff like this.

So happy Spring is here...heading to the Tulsa zoo this weekend!
