Halloween Recap

Now that we're living in a townhouse community, we were stoked for a fun Halloween night! Jason and the girls carved pumpkins on Sunday evening while I was out, then I joined the fun. We were really missing the fancy tools from Gary Mike as we struggled to cut out these basic shapes, but we made do with what we had:) 

The sunset was gorgeous and I had the girls pose for a few shots before we headed out. Savannah was a princess and Reagan was Captain Phasma (a Star Wars character). We set out a bowl of candy with a "Please take a couple" sign and began our trick-or-treating fun. Unfortunately, we were one of 12 houses actually participating in this holiday!!! Seriously, each unit has like 8 units and there are 20+ units in the community! What the heck? 

It actually worked out for the best though, because the girls didn't end up with too much candy, and we met up with some neighbors who came back to our house for a drink! Win/win! 






Playing with their friend Lulu who was Princess Poppy from Trolls! So cute!

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!"
