Mall play area revisited

We hit the mall again last week for some indoor playtime.   There was actually a National Geographic Kids event that we went to check out, and while cool my kids had had enough after sitting for about 30 minutes.  So we moved onto the play area before all the other kids did.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much more adventurous they were this time- a few weeks back they basically did nothing!  This is good and bad, it's good that they are learning to play when they aren't in familiar settings, but bad because I have to be extra good at watching since there are two of them!  I almost had each of them escape at least once.  Small panic attacks for mom!

A path of destruction

 I don't know why, but I still find it amazing how fast Charlie and Adella can leave their mark.  These pictures were taken within 15 minutes of getting up from their nap and the house was fairly clean and orderly before.

And lately when Charlie sees the camera, he just has to be in the picture so he is blocking much of the damage.

Also lately he has this thing where he likes to blink and close his eyes funny after the camera flashes.

I love it when this girl will smile for the camera!  Her smile is pretty funny these days too because she still only has the two front bottom teeth but already has the molars in the back!  Apparently the other two front teeth aren't going to come in!

And when we wear pigtails we have some fun hair afterwards

And also, we are trying to get this kid off of a pacifier.  It's not going well.   Anyone have any tricks?  We put holes in them (well more like Adam made a big gash in them) but he either doesn't notice, or in the ones where he does he screams and screams and screams until we give him a different one. 

Funny faces

Charlie and Adella find it hilarious when Daddy is outside and they are inside and he makes funny faces or throws balls at them.   They giggle and make some good faces right back at him
