Great Family Weekend!

5 Replies

Mother’s Day weekend has come and gone, and I have to say, it was one of the best family weekends we have had lately. It was full of 100% great quality family time! Which, I think came at just the right time. Next week Lennox and I will be traveling up to Cape Cod, then I may be going to London for a week or a few for work, then Lennox will be 3 and then I’ll be going to Chicago for BlogHer, so there is just a lot going on soon – so some quality time together was just what we needed!

At school we had a Mother’s Day breakfast, which of course she always loves when I go to school with her:

Friday night we went shopping for some new goodies at the outlet mall and Lennox got to ride the carousel, which was pretty much the highlight of her day!

The highlight of my night, other than being together with everyone? New coach purse for Mother’s Day from Kyle!

Saturday morning we had gymnastics and then did some errands and had lunch out. Simple enough, but still fun! Lennox is really enjoying gymnastics – she is really good at the balance beam (the ones a little lower to the ground she will do without any help) and is learning how to do a back flip on one of them!

Little Gym Gymnastics Balance Beam We also spent the afternoon/evening outside in the BEAUTIFUL weather (Sunny, 80*, with a little breeze).  We worked on Lennox’s gift for mother’s day. Kyle had gotten all the supplies for us to make a flowerpot together. Can’t wait to plant some flowers in them this week with Lennox!

Then on Sunday, Mother’s Day, we headed out to Dallas, (after Lennox finally woke up at 930am!) which we rarely do. We finally made it to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science; it is an amazing new museum. We had such a great time and have so much more to see next time (thanks to the membership we got for Christmas from my sister!).

After the museum we took a walk for a few blocks and ended up at the brand new Klyde Warren Park. I had seen the park on TV when it first opened and it looks pretty awesome. Lennox loved watching all the people and puppies! We were able to get some yummy food truck food and then of course, play in the big fountains. That probably was the highlight of her day ;-)

Another weekend has come and gone, and by gone, I mean SPED BY SO INCREDIBLY FAST! How do weekends go by so fast? It’s just not fair I tell ya!

Anyway, another fun weekend was had. Lennox was able to get back to her gymnastics class at The Little Gym on saturday. She was so excited to go! She is doing great in the class. She is completely comfortable doing everything and with the instructors – which is just great, because in a few weeks she will go into the next level class and parents don’t go into class with you. I can’t wait to just sit and watch her do her thing!

We had international night at Lennox’s school as well. This is a celebration of all the diversity that is within her school – she has lots of fun with the extra playtime! More on this, later this week!

international-night The weather was beautiful and one of the best things about this nice weather, is all the outside play time. Neighbors, Bike Rides, Playground, Bubbles and one of my favorites? Sidewalk Chalk! I picked up a nice big new box of chalk (for $3.99 – great deal thanks to Aldi!)

Sidewalk Chalk And even though we had a very whiney kid sunday afternoon, she didn’t want to share her toys when we had some neighbors over, she still managed to look happy and cute for the camera… of course! I love this girl, even if she is a whiney pain the butt sometimes ;-)

As usual, we had another busy weekend. Next weekend? I have no big plans and I’m looking forward to it, as is Lennox’s nap schedule I think! I haven’t done a weekend recap in quite some time, so I figured today was as good a time as any!

First off, I’m so glad that they found the Boston Marathon Bombers and it will be interesting to see what other facts unfold. After the bombing happened, I had to wear my Boston shirt to work!

Lennox had her first “nastics” (Gymnastics) class at The Little Gym this weekend. She love love loved it! The teacher thought she would be shy and just wander around, was he wrong! She jumped right in and was perfectly comfortable doing everything she was shown how to do. Since that was her introductory class and it went well, we decided to sign her up for classes. I’m hoping to get in 2 classes a week as long as our schedule works — figure that is the best way to get the most out of our money (they let you attend any class you want as long as there is room on top of your permanent class day).

As if that didn’t tire her out, she then headed down the street to our neighbors house for a birthday party! They rented a bounce house and the kids just had a blast. They jumped for about 3 hours! Near the end, her cousin Henry came over for the night, and tried out some jumping as well. He was nervous but Lennox showed him the ropes and then he had a blast too.  I’m pretty jealous of all their fun. I would of loved a bounce house at my house as a kid! 03-instagram-42213

Lennox likes to dress Henry up with all her “jewels” — I have to take pictures each time for blackmail later on in life ;-)

Our next door neighbors got some new outdoor play toys and asked if we wanted their hand-me-downs. For free? Sure why not! They are a little faded but it doesnt relaly matter, espeically here in Texas – Everything fades so fast as it is. I brought the kids out there this morning…and? She was SO SO excited! She ran back to me and said, “Thank you mommy, good job! I’m so proud of you!” I guess she is proud that I’m a good mommy? I have no idea, but she loves her playhouse and new sandbox (even minus the sand!) She even washed her house all out today and dried it off w/  a towel – that will be her new chore this summer! 05-instagram-42213 Lastly? We headed about an hour from home to the other side of Weatherford (for those of you not from the area, we headed OUT of the city into the “country”). We went to attend the first birthday party for Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle‘s daughter, Teale. Lennox had fun watching the kids play, eating sweet treats and playing dress up. Thanks for inviting us Amanda!
01-instagram-42213 Another busy and fun weekend has come to an end. Next weekend, I plan on getting some things done around the house with Lennox; maybe some gardening and art projects!
