Family Day

The week before Easter, Jason took several days off. On Good Friday, we decided that a family day was in order, and Jason planned our day. We started at Gravelly Point, a park near Reagan National Airport, where we watched the planes take off. It's fairly obvious from the pictures & Reagan's expressions, but she loved it! 




Cool bird.




We spent a little time pretending to fly ourselves...









Even Savannah got in on the action:)




Family picture time! Thank goodness for the timer function!




After watching the planes for an hour and a half or so, we drove into Old Town for some lunch.

Amazing sky, right? Looks like someone painted it!

We ate lunch at the Waterfront and Savannah sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time.



After lunch, we wandered through the Torpedo Factory, a building in Old Town full of art studios. I put the camera away for most of our tour, but not before snapping a pic of Reagan hugging a panda made of trash:)


After the Torpedo Factory, both girls fell asleep, so Jason and I got to enjoy some ice cream on our walk back to the van!

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!"
