Our amazing twins
May 19-20
That was most definitely NOT a question for Trinity or Emanuel… but the twins… well we made the leap and not only got them lovely brand new bikes (the used stores just were not a good enough deal after researching the ones open on Sundays) but bikes WITHOUT training wheels! Yikes!! Oh and helmets, do not forget the helmets!
We took the whole family to Target and hunted the mighty bikes… there really is not much left for options so early in the season (though I saw a retro style bike for an ADULT at Walmart that if I had had 95 dollars sitting around… well… maybe later in the year?)…
Check out
The girls got sunglasses… adorable ones… 1.00. And Emanuel got a dinosaur (another 1.00 purchase… gotta love the dollar area at Target).
Sunglasses
Once we got home, and got the baby down to nap, it was time to bust out the new bikes and helmets and give it a go. Results are mixed and of course it is going to take some time… but I have high hopes for successful 2 wheel bikers!

Daddy Son moment
Nana and Baba took the twins out on double bikes to try and work on balance, looking up and keeping their hands on the handles and feet on the pedals.
Off on the double bikes
Ken had a game that got rained out so that evening we snuck out for ice cream and together time… it was nice… I miss just us from time to time!
Some beautiful flowers around here now!
Monday marked the beginning of what feels like monsoon season. So much rain and muck, definitely not pro walking weather for us. We did start a mini multiplication book I was emailed as a printable from Peapod Labs… It is connected to an app but regardless, a fun way to start those tables going! You can find the printable HERE.
We started our Ready Freddy penguin themed book… which prompted a list of all the things we found interesting that we have learned about these flightless birds.
So much knowledge
And then there was an afternoon of the twins working on putting seeds on paper towels. They worked with Nana prepping the seeds to go on the straw bale garden. They learned all about the need to keep the seeds spaced and how the plants need certain things and certain space to requirements depending on the plants to grow properly. Oh and the math about the spacing, looking at the ruler board (inches!!). Quite the educational fun!!

Trinity has embraced the workbooks. I love seeing her sit there and really get at it!
Pages done, pages to go
Miss Echo took two days of dress up fun… Sunday in her pretty dress thanks to a handmedown from Aunty Xinny… oh and a flower from Nana.
Darling
Super pixie!
And on Monday… TINKERBELL! I have to say, the highlight of my days at times is taking pictures of her partying it up in whatever outfit she chooses… but woe on you if you want her to NOT wear a dress… PARTY is her word for it! And the fancier the better!
Little Tinkerbell… Thanks to Aunty Holly

I wish the outfit tag was now showing in this one.
Sorry everyone, as I am sure you have noticed I have missed a few days posting or simply gone simple… we are having some website issues… I hope to have them resolved by the end of the Memorial Day Weekend… In the meantime some teasers… back tracking to Trinity’s belated family party… visiting with Lily… Novaks… bikes and a few school completions!!! Expect double posts for a while!!!
Forgive Me???
