Visit to Oak Island

After an extremely busy weekend, Reagan, Tommy & I hopped in the car and headed to Oak Island to see the Petree's and the Moore's!  As soon as we got to the house, Lynsey blew up the kiddie pool and we let the babies play on the front porch.  The water was a bit chilly, but Grandpa Petree came to the rescue with buckets of warm water:)  


After the pool fun, Reagan hung out with one of her favorite people on one of the two delightful porch swings!


Then, we packed up our bags and headed for the beach (a short walk from the house).  The weather was magnificent and the water temperature could not have been more perfect.  Zach and Taylor came down too!  As she did the other day, Reagan went straight for the water and loved playing in the waves.  Brian and I took turns taking her out beyond the breaking waves and she had a blast.  Mason was new to the ocean, but was very brave testing it out.




On Sunday night, Grammy & Grandpa Petree treated us all to a delicious dinner at the Blue Point Marina Restaurant.  We got there at 4:45 just to get in line for a very popular 5 o'clock dining.  While we waited for the restaurant to open, we took some pictures.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, I had a blackened tuna salad that was amazing!  And Reagan tasted grits for the first time and couldn't get enough.  




Thanks to Betty, Gray, Zach, Taylor, Lynsey, Brian & Mason for making room for us and welcoming us to join their Memorial Day vacation.  We had a fantastic time and can't wait to see you guys again!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
