Life Lately: Spring has Sprung!

Spring definitely arrived early in San Antonio! We've had cool mornings, but most days the highs have reached the mid 70s and we've already seen some 80s! Crazy to think it's still February! We've definitely taken advantage of the nice weather & spent lots of time outside in the sunshine!

Sidewalk chalk with the neighbors!



Our library has a beautiful shaded back porch with these rocking chairs, the girls love to sit here & read their new books!

Headed to put our books in the car before going to the playground...Shelby had to keep
reading while we walked ;)

Taking a rest from riding bikes at Bonnie Conner Park

Dress-up shenanigans!

Hadley's first time on the rope bridge at the Doseum!

 

 

These next couple pictures were taken during our dreaded doctor's appointment that fell in the midst of the girls' lunch & naptime last week. I have a tendency to over-prepare whenever we go anywhere (aka I pack way too much in the diaper bag), but for once it paid off BIG time! Our appointment was at 12:15, so I had to pick Shelby up early from school to get there on time. I had planned for the girls to eat their lunch during the appointment, and then we'd head home. But since they didn't even call me out of the waiting room until 35 minutes after my appointment, I'm so glad I had a full diaper bag! The girls ate their lunch in the waiting room & then colored.

 

Toy Story on the tablet for the win during the appointment!!! We didn't get back to our car until 2:05, it was an exhausting afternoon! But the girls were such troopers and behaved like angels the entire time even though they were both so tired.

The doctor made the comment to Shelby that it looked like she had a rough day at the playground based on the looks of her leggings. ;)  Nope, just another day at Marvelously Made!! :)  Also, how cute is Hadley's expression here?! This was her first ever viewing of Toy Story..clearly, she was a fan! :)

By the time we got home from our appointment, the girls were practically delirious. I sat down at the kitchen table to eat my Panera that I picked up from the drive-thru on the way home for an incredibly late lunch (Does your Panera have a drive-thru where you live?! This was new to us in SA, and it's seriously the best thing EVER!), and I looked up from my soup to see the girls doing this:

If you're familiar with the movie Inside Out, Shelby was pretending to be Joy dragging Sadness through Riley's subconscious.  ;)

Hadley drawing "faces" :)

Silly girl after bathtime!

Usually when the girls squabble, Hadley's toddler tendencies are to blame for it the majority of the time. But invariably, when I get onto Hadley for whatever ridiculous thing she did to Shelby, she gets all sensitive and starts crying and Shelby comes to her defense. This is particularly annoying to me b/c I'm usually standing up for Shelby b/c she'd just gotten hit or something snatched from her, and then Shelby totally takes Hadley's side. ;)  On this particular day, Hadley was pouting on the couch so Shelby got one of Hadley's favorite books to read to her to cheer her up. Of course before she started reading to her, she told Hadley: "It's okay, Sissy. Mommy didn't mean to be so mean to you." What?! Already ganging up against me at ages 2 & 5!

I love this shot where Shelby is holding up the book so Hadley can see the pictures ;) 
Such a little teacher already!

 

 

 

That's life lately for us! :)  Hope you're having a great week!!
