What's this?....Sun?....In SEATTLE!!??

So yesterday, it was nice and warm, so I decided to take the kids out and about all day to enjoy the wonderful weather. And it was so much fun. Have I ever mentioned that I DETEST the rain? Man, when it's sunny, I'm sunny! Here is a little play-by-play of our day....

Doesn't Andrew look thrilled to go have a fun day?....That's because I haven't told him yet that this day, there will be some fun to be had. I usually avoid telling him in advance because then I won't stop hearing about it until we are in Fun City.

Livers is all juiced up!

Okay, so we finally made it to the park and guess what? Livia loves the swing! She didn't want to get off at all. I think she would still be in that swing if I wouldn't have pried her out. And trust me, she wasn't happy about it. But what was I suppposed to do? I was under the gun. I had another mother wander over with her little boy who clearly wanted a turn on the swing. She kept saying loudly "Do you want a turn on the swing? Well, we will just have to WAIT OUR TURN." Clearly she was into waiting. On opposite day.

Here's Andrew on the digger. He just had a blast running around talking to random kids or pretty much anyone. It's hard to get shots of him because he does one of two things. He either makes some ridiculous face, or runs away. He really had learned to drive me crazy with the camera. I had to sneak up on him to get this candid shot.

There is a reason why I took this picture. Do you see what Livia is doing? She is walking - that's right - walking up the stairs. She has never done that before. She still has a hard time with our stairs at home, but here the stairs were just her size and she walked all the way up. Yeah!

The she proceded to take a nose dive down the slide. I swear she has no fear. None at all.

I told Andrew to hold Livie's hand while they walked around the park. He is such a good boy. Aren't they so cute together?

Yeah, she didn't think so. But look at Andrew's hand....still holding on.

Now look at Andrew mean-muggin' his sister. He's trying so hard to be a good listener and Livia is messing up his game. Aren't the terrible two's the best?

Now she's better. As long as she's not being restrained in any form, she'll be happy.

Here Alivia is enjoying the view, looking out at the beautiful Lake Tapps.

Oh, that's right. It's been drained for the winter. It's not pretty. It's not even cute. It's a drought.

So, there's a day in the life of the Silva kids! It really was such a fun day. I love when the weather is nice. The rest of the time I feel so couped up in the house, and it gets old. Makes me miss Cali.....if we ever become Grillionaires, that's where we're headed an we won't be lookin' back! But for now, we'll make due!
