Weekend fun

We've had some nice days here and there...a tease for Spring to come. Now I love a good cold day home in our comfy clothes and warm food but it hit me yesterday that I'm officially ready for Spring. :) It's been cold and windy all week which has me missing those warmer afternoons when we could enjoy outside time!

A couple of weekends ago we enjoyed an afternoon walk, feeding the ducks and seagulls (felt a little like attack of the birds! Ha) and playing at the neighborhood park.

Love Day!

We had a fun Valentine's Day this year! The day before Valentines, Valentines Eve if you will (ha!), we had a bunch of our little friends over for a Valentine's Party. P&P were beyond excited and they had a blast! I didn't get a bunch of pictures at the party because with about 15 two year olds running around it was pretty busy ;)

Here are a few pictures from my phone- I do have a few pictures on my real camera and I ll post those sometime soon.

We bought them a bubble machine as their Valentines gift from us- they love it!

Road trip

We had a little road trip last weekend. Eric wanted to go to a basketball game at the college he attended and we thought it'd be fun to take p&p to their first sporting event!

We headed out early Saturday morning and spent Saturday sight seeing and a little shopping on the campus before checking into the hotel. My one request for the weekend was to eat lunch Saturday at the best Italian place- auntie pastas- it was heavenly. :)

Late afternoon rolled around and we headed to the basketball game. P&P LOVED it!! They did really well the first half staying in their seats, snacking on popcorn, and enjoying the game! During the second half they wanted to go explore up the stairs. They noticed all of the people coming up and down the steps during the game and they just KNEW there had to be something exciting taking place at the top of those steps- ha! Parker even attempted to crawl under our seats at one point to get freedom. I braved the crowds and took them up top to explore so E could watch the game in peace... as predicted Presley ran like a bat out of hell, haha, while Parker and I tried to keep up. After making our lap up top, and a trip to the bathroom, we returned to our seats...me sweating profusely- ha. We decided at that point to call it a night since they didn't want to sit in there seats anymore. I won't go into too much detail on this next event but let's just say its a miracle the police didn't stop to question whether we were abducting Presley- she really didn't want to leave the game. ;)

Here are some pictures from our Saturday

Oh and one last thing...what were we thinking getting them each a megaphone?! Haha! Presley repeated everything Parker said as if we couldn't hear him ;) see pics below with megaphones

Merry Christmas!!

I don't know who enjoys Christmas more, me or the kids. ;) We had a wonderful Christmas and this year we spent Christmas day at home in our pjs.

 

 Christmas Eve- Santa stopped by our house!

 Good morning! Ready to go see what Santa brought. Funny thing is Parker was a little hesitant-  he thought Santa was actually still in the living room. ;)

 Parker's favorites were Cranky the Crane and his weed trimmer. Presley's favorites were her puppy & Care Bear. They both also LOVED the roller coaster!

 She took each of her stuffed animals on a ride on the roller coaster- ha :)

 Pudge clearly wasn't thrilled with his new toy ;)

 Hugging her new play cookies and cakes

 Hugging her new Care Bear. The green Care Bear was actually given to her by Aunt J- it was Aunt J's care bear when she was little. :)

 

Presley's "Pudgey" ;)

 It finally started to snow a little at our house in the late afternoon!

 We couldn't find Presley's mittens so Eric brought out some of his socks ;)

 Then inside for hot chocolate and cookies. Brr!

Looking forward to the magic of Christmas next year already. :)
