Days 424, 425, and 426

On May 7th, we took all of the kids to a kid's fair in town. Elise, Ingrid, and Caleb had so much fun playing in the toddler area because it was all laid out with cool toys and things to climb on and under and through. Here is Elise playing with a pop-up toy:



Mother's Day was lovely. In the morning we went to the duck pond and after a nice walk, the kids played for a while on the grass. Elise doesn't like grass or dirt much, so this picture of her sitting in a pile of damp leaves is mildly remarkable:



Lately, Elise has been making this silly face. I think she's trying to look scared. You can't tell from the picture, but her hands are shaking. I don't know where she got this from, but it's really funny. She has lots of versions of this face-- sometimes her eyes are opened really wide or her jaw is clenched shut... but the hands are always there by her face, vibrating.
