SW Picnic Fun

On Wednesday, May 2nd, Reagan and I headed across town to Deppe Park to meet our fellow Stroller Warriors for a non-running event...a PICNIC! We arrived around 11:15 with watermelon and a veggie tray in hand. As soon as we stepped out of the car, I covered Reagan in sunscreen and applied some on my own arms - it was a hot day. I deposited the food in the picnic table area, and then we to the park (devoid of any source of shade) and played a bit before the bulk of SWs arrived. Reagan is at a great age right now. She's discovering all these new things she can climb on, but each unsure step takes time. Therefore, any chance we get to play with a small crowd is welcome. After the older kiddos take over, it's a free-for-all and I'm stuck watching every move Reagan makes and ensuring she doesn't get stepped on:)

About 20-25 ladies and their kiddos showed up and brought WAY TOO MUCH food, but that's never a problem for us! We took a lunch break and then went back to the playground. Here are a few pictures from our fun day:

This slide tube was a source of fun and frustration. Reagan couldn't climb up it without some help, but she sure wanted to!

This is Reagan and Clara Beth - they were born on the same day. Can you believe the size difference?!

Another shot of Reagan and CB:)

This is my favorite. It's one of those tubes where you can talk into it from another one located elsewhere. Reagan was so confused. I think she was actually expecting to see me crawl out of it!

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!"
