Jack and Maddy are full of enthusiasm and giggles these days. We went to Costco today (a common weekend activity for us) because Costco is one of the only stores with carts built for two! Target also has a double cart and Albertsons, QFC and Whole Foods have double carts with "cars" built in that Jack and Maddy enjoy driving. Anyhow, Jack and Maddy were squealing at the top of their lungs serenading everyone in Costco today--just so happy being themselves. How can you not smile and chuckle when you have two carefree, curious little toddlers with you everywhere you go?
Later on we spent some time outside (in between the bursts of rain) driving their cars up and down the street and then going for a walk with Chloe. Jack and Maddy love when they get a little bit of freedom so Jack was naturally in the lead and being very independent. Maddy preferred to walk up and down the side walk but never strayed too far from me.
They have also become quite the little helpers around the house. They take their dirty clothes and put them into the bin, help me put the wet clothes into the dryer and even help unload the dishwasher. They are so proud of themselves when they can help clean up or do something that they see Brad and I doing.
After our long day they are exhausted and have fallen asleep before seven o clock. Now for some pictures....

 |
| Hmmm...mud. |
 |
| Yes, the grass is sopping wet. She didn't seem to mind. |
 |
| I just love this little boy. |

| He found the basting brush for the bbq and carried it around for the next three hours. |
