Beach Bums

On Saturday morning, the girls were up at 6! We managed to keep them contained to their room until about 7, and then it was go go go! We walked down to Harbor House for breakfast, then returned home to prep for a day at the beach. On our way to Del Mar, we stopped for gas and I ran across the street to the mini mart and snagged two boogie boards for the big girls...SCORE! Reagan and Charlotte had a blast trying to ride the waves. They both got rolled more than once, but no tears...just big smiles and more fun! The little girls were mostly content to play with the sand toys and occasionally jump the waves with a bit of help. Del Mar also has a great playground right on the beach, and they spent quite a bit of time there as well. We enjoyed a relaxing day overall and some gorgeous weather! Matt's (Ashley's husband) sister was up the road in LA and came down with friends for part of the day too! 

After a long day in the sun, we loaded the girls in the car and hit the commissary before heading home to make dinner and relax. The girls were exhausted and didn't take too much coaxing to get in bed. They even slept a bit longer, but not much!

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!"
