A weekend of chaos, art and friendship

Our house often looks like a mini-cyclone has blown through and this just a recent case-in-point... I was working on dinner when I heard, "No Emmy!  That's too many!  Mom....!!!"  Malea was trying her best to stuff all the tissues back in the box, but our little Emmy is speedy! 


The jury is still out on whether Malea is right or left-handed... maybe we have an ambidextrous girl?!


Emmy on the other hand, is pretty clearly right-handed. And, like a true little sister, loves to do whatever her big sister is doing!

Our art-inspired morning continued with face-painting at the Rochester Children's Museum.  Malea and her friend Sophia created more colorful masterpieces, first on themselves, and then Malea went to work on Emmy!





Emmy was determined to reach those golf balls!

And chaos visits again!  It's amazing how crazy messy it can get in a matter of a few minutes, but the kids were having a blast!

On Sunday, we had another fun playdate and enjoyed a pizza created by chefs Isaac and Malea.  It was so fun to see how carefully our little chefs spread the pesto and tomato sauces and then place each vegetable piece atop the crust. We all got a bit hungry watching the work-in-process (who knew toddlers could focus so intensely for 15+ minutes while standing practically on top of each other - so cute!), but we soon sat down for a very yummy pizza!
