Chico Hot Springs

Last Friday we headed to Chico Hot Springs. Madigan is taking another swim class for the rest of May and first week in June. This class is sooooo much better then her last class and she actually REALLY likes it! Leo continues to be very comfortable in the water. He was happy and content the entire soak. We also visited the greenhouse and pet the horses. (If any of you locals haven't visited the greenhouse-you should. They have an avocado tree, lime tree and fig tree!)
Not the most flattering pictures of me, but isn't Leo so cute?? He's finally getting some fat on him!

Leo BabyLegs

I love these things called BabyLegs! They're little leg warmers that stay one during the day and even when changing diapers! This picture was taken after Leo fell asleep outside with Madigan and Kyle while I was at the gym. I thought his outfit was so cute and funny.

New Barn

We got new neighbors next door over the Winter. They have 2 girls-aged 7 and 9. We were thrilled when they bought the house, but didn't see too much of them over the Winter. Now that the weather has been nicer, the girls have been outside more. They love Madigan and she LOVES them! This past weekend they had a garage sale with 10 years of girl stuff. I didn't have it in me to dog through everything, especially after I dropped $45 for this new barn and 30+ horses. (Side note: a wooden barn has been on the top 5 things I must find at a garage sale for the last few years....finally!) We also got an awesome new kitchen- a plastic one that makes noises and has all the kitchen components like a microwave. It's great and I'm sure Leo will love it too. Other then that we got a couple of puzzles, a travel stroller, a new tutu and a coffee table.

This is what dads are for....

That's right, Dads are for applying nail polish to hands and feet.

The Napping House

This never happens around here-both kids napping at the same time!

Nana's Trip

Nana came for a long weekend-Saturday to Tuesday. Although the trip was short we got a lot of quality time together. Madigan played with Nana as much as she could-even locking her in her room!

Sun Hat Season

(Okay a small disclaimer here: I only packed the camera to take a picture of M's new sweater vest I made her. It's the neighborly found here. It turned out adorable and she seems to really like it (she picked the colors with me). It took me about 2 months to make, but at least I finished it in time for Spring. It should fit her for a while too.)

Spring is finally here and Madigan wants to be outside every minute of the day. Last week we walked up to the duckpond. M and I fed the ducks until Leo woke up.
Madigan has had this 'bonnet' sun hat for a long time and it still fits. The way it's made it will probably fit next year too--- and then I'll have to find a pattern to make more. It's by FlapHappy, which must be pretty popular.... We have about 10 hats by this company, all from the thrift stores.... I picked Leo up 2 more a couple of months ago. He's wearing his too! Yay for sun hat weather!
