We were a sick household this past week. Poor Jayson had pneumonia which put him out of commission for two weeks. Then I got a stomach bug, but thankfully the kiddos stayed healthy. With Jack turning 2 the kiddos have been showered with packages which couldn't have come at a better time. We finally made it out for a much needed excursion on Mother's day to Monterey Bay Aquarium. We had a great time exploring the area before hitting up the aquarium, it was a great escape!
Aunt Brandy sent some watercolor books for Jack's Birthday. He was very focused, he did a great job.

My little nature hunters collected leaves, sticks and petals at our church Mom's group and I told Ellie I had the perfect project for her treasurers once we got home.

| Ellie and I each made a fairy. |
Grandma Debbie sent a water table!

| It is pure joy, Jack was in awe! |

| Our sensory activity for this month was a big hit. |
 |
Jack kept smashing Ellie's little castles before she could
which he thought was hysterical, Ellie not so much. |
We made a Michael's run to restock on supplies and I came across these water gems which I thought would be a perfect addition to our water play fun. The kids loved them.

Jack's favorite thing was a little tunnel with toddler size aquariums,
he loved the baby clown-fish. I had to drag him out. |
 |
Our kiddos would have played in the play zone all
day if we would have let them. |
 |
| The jellyfish are always soothing to look at, they are such amazing creatures. |
 |
| I think it's safe to say we enjoyed our time in Monterey! |
