A little dancing, a little culture!

 

Saturday morning it was off to London's 2nd birthday party, where both girls got into the action during the music class with their maracas. 

Later Ellie got a little mischievous and was hiding maracas, shoes, scarves... by the end of the party, she was rolling around on the floor, ready for her nap.  That's when you know it's been a good party.

 

 

Evie happily licks her fingers after enjoying her Krispy Kreme from the donut cake. 

Later that night we headed over to the Kennedy Center, which was wrapping up their Nordic Cool exhibit.  The girls take a look at the display in the lobby, a Viking ship made out of men's dress shirts. 

 

Then it was off to the Lego display where the girls had a blast making some... interesting sculptures.  

Mom and Ellie pose before the polar bear mural made entirely out of Legos. 

Here is Evie's masterpiece... an amazing replica of the Kennedy Center!  Yeah, that's the ticket! 

Daddy helps lift Ellie up so she can make her second tower even taller. 

The girls got a kick out of having Daddy chase them around the terrace and run some races.  Later that night Evie complained about her sore legs. Sounds like her Mom. 

Little sis Ellie was right behind with a giant smile on her face!  On Sunday, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a little bit o' culture. Daddy took Ellie to Imagination Stage for some special Daddy-daughter bonding time, where they acted out "Goodnight Moon" and actually played with some mush.  

Meanwhile, Mommy took Evie to the National Gallery of Art for some special Mommy-daughter bonding time. They have an awesome "Stories in Art" program where she studied "The Human Condition" by Rene Magritte, listened to a children's book about the artist, and then rolled up her sleeves to make some art of her own with oil pastels.  We had a great afternoon!
