Lennox playing on her playground

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!

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?

International Dinner Night

A “classical tradition” at Montessori schools around the world, is to celebrate the wide range of the children’s nationalities and heritage. At Lennox’s Montessori school, they have such a wide range of students — especially Lennox’s classroom. We have a few families that don’t even speak english yet! So, her school planned their International Dinner night for this past Friday. Each family was asked to bring a dish that represented the heritage of their children. So this event was potluck style. All the food was good and it was nice getting to meet some of the other families!

It was so much fun to watch Lennox in her element. Usually when we go to an event like this, she is shy at first before going and playing — not this time! She was exciting to get outside and immediately started running around. When her little friend, Paxton, showed up – she was VERY excited! Paxton! Paxton!  They were off and played together almost the whole night! All in all, it was a great night and all 3 of us!

Here are some pictures from the night:

In this next picture, it looks like she is holding up a worm, but really its just grass. Thank goodness!
