Max's Birthday Weekend - Part 2

After barely sleeping Friday night, the kids were up early the next morning! We kept them entertained in Colleen & Keith's room as long as possible...



Then it was breakfast time.



BIG BITE!

Who doesn't need a little help from that other hand?!

For the majority of April (according to Colleen), Max wore his blanket around like a cape and called himself Elsa...it was absolutely adorable. He kept singing the songs from Frozen too and stomping his foot:) 


This slide was ridiculously fast and steep...thought Reagan might fall, but she nailed the landing!



Savannah spent a lot of time bonding with Auntie Erica who was visiting from Wilmington. 


As nap time was nearing (with no time to actually nap) and Max was starting to whine a little, Colleen distracted him with his birthday gift from Mason & Caroline...his very own cape!! It worked like a charm, just look at that smile as he's showing off in the last pic!




We did our best to spend the entire day outside as it was absolutely gorgeous. We also did our best to get the boys to do all the work.



While we relaxed with beers.


Even got Reagan in on the "relaxation" plan.


Savannah continued to bond with Auntie Erica and nap at the same time. Already a multi-tasker.

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!"
