Hooray For Wonderful Friends!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Jason, Reagan and I hopped in the car and headed to Centreville to watch the "Toilet Bowl" at Uncle Dave's house (game between UVA and VT...no one really cared this year, hence the nickname).  Around 4pm, Colleen, Keith and Max arrived at Uncle Dave's house to meet us!! It seems like it's been forever since we've seen them, and we truly appreciate them spending a night at our house on their way back to NC. 

After the football fun was over, we packed up our cars and drove back to Alexandria, ordering pizza on the way home. We ate dinner and made sure the kiddos were fed, and then Keith and Jason took bath duty! Of course I had to get in there with my camera! (They are really going to be mad about this someday!) 

Look at those pizza faces!


Kissing in the tub

This is what Max does when you say "smile!"

Reagan's "cheese" face:)

The next morning, we got up and let Max and Reagan play downstairs for a while before going to grab breakfast at Elsie's Magic Skillet. I wish we had more time together!


He actually looks a little Asian in this one...my long lost son:)

Mamas, hide your daughters when this one grows up! What a handsome boy!

After playtime downstairs, they watched an episode of Little Einsteins and were so cute together.

And I grabbed this one right before we headed to breakfast. Beautiful mama with her cute little guy!

Miss you guys already and hope to see you soon! Thanks for stopping to visit!

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!"
