Hanging In the OC

On Sunday (of Labor Day weekend), after a fun morning with the Lemons' family, we hit the road and headed back to Orange County to see the Burzumato's! Jeremy and Jenna were in town, so it was a great chance to see them again too. We hung out at the house for a bit and chatted. Reagan helped Uncle Dan prep dinner. Then we hopped back in the car with Jeremy and drove to the circle for one of the biggest street fairs I've ever been to. There were so many countries represented and tons of delicious smelling food! The girls got henna tattoos (my mistake because they needed to be still for 30 minutes in order for the tattoos to really work. They lasted about 4 minutes:) and the adults enjoyed a few beers. We met up with Jenna and her friends and hit a bar for another drink while the kids shared some tater tots. As dinner time neared, we drove back to the house leaving Jeremy behind. As usual, dinner was delicious! Savannah was happy as a clam to sit with Aunt Helen and Miss Jeanette. The rest of us listened eagerly to Uncle Dan's stories! Another great time in OC and as always, so grateful to have family close by!

NC Girls' Weekend

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!"
