Marisa was thrilled to be a twin with me this morning at our "aloha meal" at church today. I'll enjoy it while I can - that won't last! We had roast pig and other Hawaiian fixings. It was wonderful! Here's the pig! 
Lucas and Marisa got all kinds of prizes from doing the summer library reading program. One of them was a free "Messy Sunday" at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza. We devoured it in about 3 minutes. 
Lucas' favourite activity this summer so far has been Mandarin Camp. Here they are at the end of the first week showing the parents what they learned. Amazing what kids can learn at this age! 
Face painting at a birthday party! She meowed all evening.
Legoland! We've tried to go every other week. Marisa was THRILLED to be chosen as a volunteer for this show. She got to shoot a pretend bow and arrow at the "jester".
Legoland! Lucas and Marisa LOVE legoland. I don't mind it either!
This is our new traditional "beginning of summer" dessert. A mud pail with worms. I found the jello "sand pail" in the grocery aisle by the puddings. It's chocolate pudding with cool whip and crushed oreos on top and in the middle. On top put gummy worms and the shovel. Yum!
One of Marisa's favourite past times - painting. She's calm and quiet for usually a good hour or more. This particular painting disturbed me when she told me what it was about. She asked me if I thought the brown flower she painted was ugly. Of course I responded "No, Marisa, its very beautiful." She said "No it's not. It's ugly and the other flowers are laughing at him because he's ugly." Hmmm, what's going on inside her little head? We had a little chat after that about beauty and being mean etc etc.
What child doesn't like to help daddy dig and plant flowers? New rose bushes are being planted here. Notice the two wheelbarrels. :-) Lucas' little red plastic one, and the other larger black one.
