Easter Brunch

On Easter Sunday, the girls were up and in their new dresses from Grandma at 7am! They started the morning with a small egg hunt and found their baskets along with extra treats from Grandma & Papa! Then came church, where Reagan made us so proud by standing up front and reciting a poem from memory. She was so brave, didn't skip a beat, and made the service even more special. 

After church, they hosted an egg hunt and the girls had a blast running around the preschool playground collecting the colorful, plastic treats! Then, they each received a huge bag of goodies from Miss Jan, the Sunday school teacher! 

We headed south to the Rancho Santa Fe Inn where we had reservations for brunch. After dining with the Goodale clan at the Springfield Country Club for the past 3 years, we had high expectations! The Inn did not disappoint! There was a magnificent spread, a bouncy slide and Easter Bunny for the kids, and live music. We sat on the terrace and enjoyed a sunny afternoon and more food than any human should consume in a week:) Of course I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures of the girls in their finest attire: 






Reagan helped herself to a plateful of smoked salmon...her only regret was that Grandma wasn't there to share!

This table was full of Alaskan King Crab legs sliced right down the middle and huge shrimp! Needless to say, Jason & the girls were thrilled and definitely took advantage!

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!"
