Finger Painting

I get tired of doing the same old stuff with Kyrie every day, so I'm always looking for new ideas for learning activities. I read in a book about finger painting. So, I made vanilla instant pudding & dyed it several colors, took Kyrie's shirt off (so her clothes wouldn't stain) & showed her how to clean her "paintbrush." Unfortunately (or fortunately, for the sake of pictures), she decided it was more fun to eat the pudding "paint" than it was to actually paint.

Aileen's Birthday 2008

Aaron took me and the girls to Baskin Robbins for my free birthday ice cream scoop. Kyrie really liked her ice cream, but as you can see in the picture of Ally, she felt left out. She didn't get any ice cream. Poor baby. :-)

Sleepy Time Adventures

Last night I decided to finally be brave enough to put Ally in the same room with Kyrie. We finally assembled the crib in Kyrie's room (Ally has been sleeping in a cradle in our room), and I put Ally in Kyrie's room after she fell asleep for the night.

When Ally woke up at around 1:30/2:00am for a feeding, I just left the door open in Kyrie's room when I returned Ally to her crib, only to find Kyrie in our bed at around 4:30/5:00am this morning.

Lesson learned, leave the door closed (4 people in bed is just too many).

Connect Pass Day

We are always looking for some cheap entertainment, and I stumbled upon the Connect Pass (which I bought from visitsaltlake.com). It costs $18/adult & $14/child 3-12 years old. There are 12 attractions possible to participate in, but we went to the Hogle Zoo, lunch at the Lion House Pantry, Discovery Gateway (children's museum), the Clark Planetarium, and the Living Seas Aquarium on Monday, May 20th. The whole thing would have cost about $8/per person/attraction. We had a blast. Kyrie thoroughly enjoyed the Discovery Gateway.

We met up with Kyrie's Aunt Tara & cousin Lily. Kyrie & Lily are such good friends.
