Meeting Miss Allie

The weekend after Reagan's 4th birthday, we headed south to visit our NC buddies! The girls and I hit some terrible traffic en route to Quantico to pick up Jason & Jess, but once we got going, it wasn't too bad…unless you factor in all the crying that Savannah did!!! Let's just say we were in need of a stiff drink upon arrival at the new Belward Mansion!

The next day, the girls abandoned the children with the boys and drove to Lexington to meet Miss Allie. We made decent time after visiting the world's slowest Dunkin' Donuts and pulled into the driveway to see Brian mowing the backyard and holding one sleepy girl!

Allie was napping too, but that didn't stop Colleen from holding her!



Mason remembered Jess from her recent visit on her way from KS to VA, so they were instant buddies...



She wasn't nearly as comfortable with the little one:) 

Lynsey is one proud mama and looked surprisingly rested!


We spent time just catching up, complaining about life, and making bold statements about how in the future, we'll get together more often. It was a great morning and Miss Allie couldn't be more adorable and sweet. She didn't make a single peep while we were there.

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!"
