Who let the dogs out?

BDayInvite


Lily and Beck both turned three recently and we combined forces for the ultimate dog party. We planned tons of games like fetch, grab the tail, a barking contest, puppy training school, and a bone hunt in hopes that we could entertain the kids for an hour, but three year olds have pretty short attention spans and we were done about 25 minutes into it. Luckily three year olds are also really good at entertaining themselves.

Puppy training school: all the kids "playing dead" for a treat.

We let the kids eat their cake out of dog bowls, as you can see they were a little apprehensive at first.

But it didn't take long for them to dig in.

The cake. (Don't worry those are Cocoa Puffs).

Whistler's Mother


Lily learned how to whistle the other day. It must be coming from her recent interest in Snow White and Robin Hood. Both feature pretty inspiring whistling tunes. She's not quite able to 'whistle while you work' but she does whistle her one or two notes that she can do pretty regularly throughout the day. I added a clip of Finn at the end of the video just because I love how cute they are together. Lily is working the camera so anyone prone to motion sickness beware...
