NC for NYE - Part 3

I'm not exactly sure when we joined this fabulous tradition, but I do know that over the years, the PJ party has definitely changed:) We used to party all night, passing around a mason jar of moonshine, and burning Christmas trees…

A few kids later and my how times have changed! We still have a blast, but we have definitely tamed the festivities. This year, we had a blast, but as with every other celebration, it's impossible to have too much fun for worry about what the next day will bring. No matter how late these children go to sleep, they are always awake early and require feeding and entertainment:) 

Despite the sudden case of pinkeye, Colleen & Keith's friends still came over to celebrate the New Year. We had way too much food and a wonderful time. Savannah even had someone to play with...








Thanks Keith!


This basically sums up our girl…always climbing on things to get into trouble!!!

Aunts and Uncles are the best. Especially for exhausted parents. Adam, Tiffany and Jess never seem to tire of playing with the kiddos. It's fantastic. And it was no different when we added more to the crew. In fact, they all loved Uncle Adam, aka Batman, and the Nerf guns…all evening.

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!"
