Mother Goose on the Loose, etc

Alright, as some of you know, every Thursday morning, we go to the library for toddler story time, known as "Mother Goose on the Loose." Today was the last class before summer break (whatever shall we do on Thursdays until September?) so I figured I better take some pictures.
Parking at the library is limited so I tend to arrive early, and Kaylee and I spend our time in the toddler room looking at books and puzzles and playing with toys.
Today, Kaylee was particularly intrigued by Mr. Potato Heads.
Then when its finally time, we head into the room where Kaylee is usually the first to spot Matilda Bear...
...and give her the customary *tackle-greeting.*
Then, depending on the week, Kaylee will either be the Belle of the Ball like today, where she certainly didn't mind being the center of attention. Although, there have also been weeks where she spends most of the time in my lap.

Then we sing songs and dance in circles, Kaylee participates (or not) as she pleases.
Then its time to make our own music with rhythm sticks or scarves or drums...or in this case, bells!
Kaylee played along.
Then it was time to put the bells away and Kaylee obliged, although we can't seem to get her to participate in the 'clean up' process at home...
Yesterday, our friend Sophie came over to play after nap.

They had a nice time running around the yard, playing on the lounger swing, drawing with sidewalk chalk, chasing puppies, and in Kaylee's new crazy coupe cars.
Oh...yeah, Kaylee's new crazy coup cars. We picked up 2 at a yard sale last weekend...we figured we could use a few outdoor toys. Kaylee loves her cars. We picked up 2 because they were cheap and to avoid as many "mine" fiascoes as possible.
Besides as long as she's small enough to fit in one of these...we don't have to daydream about the day when she's driving a real car!
Daddy took a few pictures of Kaylee dissecting a PB&J the other day...we say dissecting, because she doesn't really eat it so much as play with it...
poke it, you know.

On Mother's Day, a local restaurant offered moms a free buffet breakfast...so we went with our friends and only had to pay for the Daddies to eat.
"Sounds like a pretty good deal to me," Kaylee told Emily.
"mmmmmm, strawberries," Kaylee grinned.
And the last pic to round out our post is of Kaylee and Bailey, who we visited later that day. We went for a wagon ride around Bailey's yard and the girls had lots of fun on the swing set and picking dandelions.
Phew, you know at the time it seemed like a slow week...but in hindsight, I guess it wasn't.
