saturday + no rain =

A trip to the park!

I mean, the playground.  As my daughter constantly reminds me a park is just a big place with grass and trees. 

Anyways, the weather was nice enough Saturday to convince us to venture out of the house for some fresh air and fun. 

There is so much you can do at the park.  I mean playground. 

We did some swinging:

And some sliding.

We did some chasing:

And some finding.

We played jail:

And we ran.

We did some climbing.

And climbing.

And climbing.

And someone decided it was warm enough to dress like this:

The temp was in the 50’s and he had a perfectly warm sweatshirt.  But “I fine, mom.  I have tank top”.

How fun. We are waiting for our park to dry out from all of the snow melting. Then it rained all day yesterday. We will go someday. Have a great day!

You always get the best shots of your kids!!! Just the angles that you shoot from are perfect...things I would never think of. I'm always like, "Okay, stop and smile". Ugh.

Wait, a park is just grass and trees? I thought the definition would be so much more. I am going to have to consult Webster. (The dictionary, not the little black kid.)

Looks like a fun time! Great pics.

brrr. that tank top made me cold, but I guess running around in the Park, I mean Playground, would make one warm :)
Hannah's hat was fabulous. I want one just like it.

Looks like you guys had a great time and the last picture is my favorite just because he looks so sweet and innocent in this picture. It's like he's looking at you saying.... "what"? LOL

Love the hat on little Ms. Hannah too - just adorable! So glad you had some nice weather to get outside and play in for a change.

Have a great day! P.S. - you're the winner of my DVD today so send me an email with your full name and address so I can get it to the right people who can send it out to you! Congrats! :) xoxoxo

That hat is wonderful! I especially love the last picture of Hannah in this post. She looks so carefree. She also looks like she's grown so much. Yeah, I'm sorry, I know moms hate to hear that. LOL

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
