Date Night (or actually, Afternoon)

A couple weeks ago, Jason and I decided to schedule a date night. Our dear friend, Maureen, was kind enough to watch Reagan while we enjoyed a nice meal and a movie. We headed down to Wilmington and ate a VERY early dinner at Macaroni Grill. It was fabulous, especially since it was half price wine day! This was the first time in a while that we were able to truly enjoy a meal without the constant interruptions from an almost 2-year old needing tons of entertainment. We stayed at the restaurant for almost 2 hours, taking our time and savoring our meals. After that, we drove a block and a half to the theater where we saw Ted. We had spent so much time at the restaurant, that we almost didn't have seats when we arrived. Instead, we managed to find two available seats about 4 feet apart in the handicapped row:) We laughed like a couple of teenagers and really enjoyed the movie. Plus, we got snacks:


Ok, those were definitely MY snacks! But I saw this shortly after and almost wished I had waited:


Apparently they have machines for EVERYTHING now...this one is for cotton candy! 

The movie was hilarious and just the right length for my short attention span. After the movie, we hit my favorite store, World Market. It was the perfect ending to a fabulous date. Thanks Moe for taking care of Reagan so we could have an afternoon out!

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!"
