Bubbles & Playgrounds, A Fall Weekend in Texas

The weekends really do go by too fast! We thankfully had some really nice weather, so that was great! Our weekend consisted of playing outside with friends, Just Between Friends Shopping {yes, I went again..for the 50% sale!}, Outlet Mall Shopping and some good ol’ family time!

You would think going outside to play would be a highlight of our weekend, but the fact that we have no shade in our backyard, and it’s been over 100 degrees everyday for the last few months here in Texas, we didn’t have much time to play outside!

For Lennox’s birthday we got her a Little Tyke playground and she has barely gotten to use it. That didn’t make me happy :( But this weekend we got to spend plenty of time out there and she is loving it! She thinks the playground is a mountain and the telescope is a camera… whatever makes her happy!

Who doesn’t love some bubbles? PS. How cute are those little whales??

Lennox still see’s you! She has to wear her hat when she goes outside, just like her daddy!

Did you get to enjoy some outside time this weekend?

A Gift for a Two Year Old…

As you know, Lennox’s birthday is coming up. Our little girl big girl is almost two years old! Rather than getting a few misc little gifts, we like to get one big gift that will last her quite some time. Last year we got her the play kitchen – which she loves and uses more and more as she grows older.

This year we decided she needed a good toy to keep her entertained outside. We thought a playground/climber would be a great choice. There are so many to choose from but after lots of research we landed on this one:

Kyle went and got it this past weekend – The box wouldn’t even fit in the SUV! So after taking it apart in the Toys R Us parking lot at 8pm saturday night, Kyle got it home and it currently looks like this in our garage:

 

 

Lennox saw it yesterday and wasn’t sure what it was, then saw the slide – sat on it and said weeeeeee! She will be so excited when she sees it put together. Will we be able to wait until her birthday to give it to her?

 

Mother’s Day 2012

I hope all the mommies out there had a good day! Lennox decided it was a good day to not take a real nap and to be cranky, so I guess she just wanted to give me the real Mom Experience. Before she decided to be miss cranky pants, we were able to get some donuts and head to the playground/park. She LOVES playing at the playground. I think she would go down the slide all day if someone let her!

Later we attempted our nap, which didn’t happen– so we headed out for lunch. She was horrible while waiting for our table, I was ready to leave, but once we sat down, she calmed down and we had a good family lunch together. She loved the flower that waitress gave me. Later we finally napped, played in the yard then headed out for our first snow cone of the season. I’m not sure she was expecting it to be so cold, but I think she liked it!

All in all it was a good day. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t let daddy take our picture together, so this is all we got:
