Another Evening

Each morning at the beach started somewhat like this...

Don't expect to eat anything around these two without sharing!

We wandered down to the beach only to find terrible ocean conditions:( The first few days were all red flag "NO SWIMMING" days. We let the girls play on the beach, and they were happy with that. Luckily the weather was still decent.



That evening, Geoffrey and I had a new plan. There is a dock not too far down from the sound access point, so we decided to wade out to it. By the time I got the girls down and went in search of the spot, Geoffrey was already settled.



In fact, I had to use my zoom lens to find him! As I neared his location, camera bag in hand and shorts totally soaked, I took a final step before I could jump up next to him...and promptly fell into a hole, cut my foot a little, and was soaked to my chest! Luckily I had already handed off the camera bag!


It was work it. No clouds, but we got this nice sailboat in the picture:)





It was quite a bit longer of a walk in the water than I had anticipated, so on the way back, we were able to cut through some property and caught this sliver of a moon.

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!"
