Family Fun Run & A Favorite Pastime

On Saturday, March 5th, the girls participated in their first 1-mile fun run! Although Reagan logged hundreds of miles and completed many races in her first two years of life, they were all from the comfort of the stroller. I have been itching to get her signed up for a race now that she's a bit older. And Savannah only stops moving to watch TV and to sleep, so I figured she would be up for the challenge. I got an email for the Gunston 5k and 1-Mile Fun Run, and jumped at the opportunity. They looked so cute with their official bibs! Both girls did great and completed the mile without complaint and without being carried. We were so pleased with them! Here are a couple pictures from before the race. 




After we got home, they immediately did what they like best...watched the iPad that Jessica gave us. They are total addicts and need to be physically pried from the device to stop their little brains from turning to mush. But when they sit together peacefully watching a show, I love the silence and enjoy a few minutes of them getting along.

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!"
