Everyone,
Every Monday night we try to get together as a family and spend some time together. We sing a song, have a treat, talk about our week, and have a spiritual lesson. Then we sometimes have an activity. Since Flower has been here, we’ve had an activity almost every Monday!
This week I was in charge of the activity and I was hoping that we could go swimming. But dinner was late, and it kind of looked stormy. So I thought maybe playing with chalk outside would be fun. Juice reminded me that the kids got a fun sprinkler for their birthday party so we should maybe get that out?
Perfect!
Sprinkler fun makes my Monday.
At least until this showed up.
Well, we were already wet when the rain came!

Everyone,
Today we met up with my twin mommy group for a bit of park time. I’m new to the group. This was actually my first visit with them. They have been meeting every other week or so, starting the week before we left for Utah.
So needless to say, this is the first time I’ve really been free to hang out. There were about 6 or 7 moms (I can’t remember who all came…it was a park after all, and we all have multiples) all with twins 12-18 months old. A few of us have older children as well. I’d say there was between 14-17 kids there at one time. That’s a lot of kids! Everyone has been taking turns doing things near their houses. I guess my turn is coming up.
Today we drove into DC to go to Turtle Park. This is one cute little park! They have what they call a “sprinkler area” which is just a big fountain in the middle of a fenced in place. It was very cute for the boys. Butterfly got a little bit bored and tried to block off all the water. She did love it when it came back up!
Pirate sat next to the fountain and tried to fill up a bucket with water…even though his bucket was upside down. Even though he got so cold he shivered. Even though he couldn’t open his eyes because of the water spraying around, he still tried.
Professor walked around and around that little enclosed area. He yelled in anger or frustration every time he got remotely wet. It was really funny.
The day ended with a picnic with the other moms and Butterfly cried when we had to leave. I, for one, was so happy to go home. Even with Flower helping, parks are getting to be too crazy to go to. Unless I am the only one there.

Everyone,
The first week we were here, friends came over and ran through the sprinklers with us. That was the first time Butterfly had run through them and she was thrilled with it. Everywhere we went she pointed out the sprinklers and wanted to go through 
them. (And I must admit, Utah has a lot of sprinklers. The only place I’ve ever seen them in Maryland has been the DC Temple.)
Today we were able to let her do that with the same friends she ran through them with in the first place. We went over to their house for dinner and had a great time! We talked, ate, the kids played, the babies were cute and a good time was had by all I think.
We were supposed to go to a wedding thing today too for Juice’s cousin but that kind of fell through due to the fact that we didn’t have information on where to go in time for us to actually get there with everyone on time. Oh well. I’m sure the bride didn’t even notice we weren’t there. Hope it was beautiful!
