Pebbles & Bam Bam Have a Party

 On Friday, 19 August, we hosted playgroup at Maureen Donlon's house in Holly Ridge.  But this was no ordinary playgroup, it was a joint birthday celebration for Reagan and her boyfriend, Sean Patrick!  We decided (at Maureen's suggestion) that we make it a theme party, so we dressed the kids up in costumes to look like Pebbles & Bam Bam from the Flinstone's!  Earlier in the week, we went to Maureen's house and while I played with Reagan and Sean, she made the costumes using t-shirts/shorts and some iron-on patches!  She did a fabulous job!


Maureen is super creative and talented and she made an amazing "Happy 1st Birthday" sign for the babies and decorated her house with tons of dinosaurs.  Her husband, Brian, made cupcakes topped with Fruity Pebbles to share with friends, and I made two small dinosaur egg-shaped cakes for the birthday celebrants.  We had lots of friends to share the day with and it was great fun.  Brian even surprised Maureen & Sean by taking off the afternoon so he could be at the party!  We ordered pizza and Maureen even had them make the number "1" out of pepperoni on one of them:)  The party was a wonderful success and was number 3 for Miss Reagan.  We're really setting the bar high for next year!  

Here are some pictures of the decorations/cakes/costumes:

    These two are much cuter than the original pebbles and bam bam. Love all the cute party details.

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!"
