Family Weekend - Part 1

Last Saturday morning, Jason took the girls out to get bagels for all of us. After breakfast, we headed to a playground near the beach. It was crowded, but we had a great time. The girls played on the slides and playground fixtures for a bit while Jason let Tommy roam in the grass. Then we all practiced our American Ninja Warrior skills by playing follow the leader. We jumped on and off concrete tables, from rock to rock, and over the benches! We took turns leading the group and even recruited another child to play:) Tommy patiently waited, leashed to a nearby tree that Reagan climbed several times. Then we all wandered over to the grassy area to let Tommy run some more. It was a fun way to spend the morning and get out some energy!











This is my new favorite picture of this cheese ball!


This is impressive, A) because he jumped so high, and B) because he did it so fast, the camera didn't even capture the frame between him being behind the bench and then over it!

Blurry, but awesome. This girl is rapidly becoming fearless!




We were being super dorky, but loved every minute!

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!"
