Girls' Weekend!

In early April, Jessica, Lynsey and I all made our way to Colleen's house in Raleigh for a girls' weekend! Reagan, Savannah and Jason stayed with Grandma & Papa all weekend:) Lynsey and I arrived around dinnertime on Friday evening. We met Colleen and her family at the Tap Room for some food and drinks. Then Keith took Max home and we piled into the van to go pick Jessica up from the airport. That night, we just watched TV and chatted. The next day, we got up, went for a walk & then headed out for a spray tan!!! We went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch - which was delish and then returned to find Keith & Ben & Max "working" on the play area. Perfect time for a sunny break in the driveway...







This is what happens when you spray tan...


Max was SUCH A GOOD BOY!! He really was so easy to be around all weekend!


That evening, we abandoned Keith & Max and headed into Raleigh to the Marriott hotel, where we pretended to be teenagers again:) (see photos below). 




While we were getting ready, I had Lynsey model for me! Never miss an opportunity to practice! Love this one...she looks great!


When we were almost ready, there was a knock at the door and this arrived:



What a good husband!!! Solid move Keith.


We stepped out on the town and met Macy at the restaurant for some dinner. 



After dinner, we hit Coglin's for drinks & to see Colleen's friend who was the DJ there...but more on that later.

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!"
