Seattle Children's Museum

We all ventured out and spent the morning at the Seattle Children's Museum, the first time I'd been. This is a spectacular space for kids, I was very impressed (and took lots of pictures to show you!). Everything you see is to a 5 year old's scale:

There was more but we had to regroup for lunch. Definitely not playing with it all in one trip!

The story of the cookie

Ellie and Avy were eating cookies after dinner, and Ellie decided she was too full. Normal process is to offer to the other before putting away but Ellie asked if she could save for later. Avy immediately ran, got a tupperware container out of storage, and brought to me for Ellie's cookie. Not only was she not disgruntled at not getting more cookies (ah double negatives), she wanted to help! Here is the tupperware she brought:

Hey, it works! She even reminded Ellie about her remaining cookie the following day. Sweetheart.

Goodies from Nana Aldridge

Nana Aldridge sent each girl their own letter with goodies - most exciting! There's a video of them trying to blow up their balloons (and Momma getting the subsequent shower), but the favorites were definitely the magnets (Ellie: "Mag-a-nets"). After opening the letters, Avy gently reminded me to "Thank Nana" so, thank you Nana!

My little bear

Just cos, cute.

Another good day

Went to the park then made brownies for the nannies after nap. It's a rough life!

Ellie defending herself from the bugs above her head.

The fierce Avy! Luckily caged...

I love these faces.

Smiley Lily

I rarely catch Lily smiling on camera - she's too quick on the draw - so have a few in sequence as she mugs for us :)
