Toddler Shenanigans
Oh so you don't cook in your underwear? Evidently it's all the rage among toddlers. Or so I'm told.
Reagan is going through a 'clothes are optional' phase right now... out of the blue, she'll put her hand up and say, "Okay mom I just need 10 minutes without my clothes on."
Um...okay. At least it's only when we are home and not out in public. Hooray for the small victories.

Weekend Reflected
Another great weekend come and gone... gearing up for the work week and reflecting on a weekend of making fun memories.
Friday:
Jacque took a quick pic of Rea for me at the end of the day on Friday:
A couple hours later and we may have set our thermostat a little too low..."Mama, I'm a baby polar bear... they live where it's really cold."
But in my defense, it was HOT outside.
Saturday:
SMS:
I definitely wanted to beat the heat so we headed to the library. It was nice and cool inside- bonus points for being a free activity as well!
So busy...
Puppets~
Saturday night was a much-anticipated double date night with our besties, Nette and Davy. It's always a good time with those two and a big thanks to G&G W. for watching peanut overnight.
The agenda:
It wasn't the capital of Spain but it was a great date night destination! Lots of good food, cold drinks and belly laughs!!
Good times, amazing memories!!
Sunday:
Can you believe it's still hot? Really truly fry an egg on the sidewalk hot? So we chose a cool theater, and enjoyed Planes.
Cute movie. Even better with theater popcorn and MnMs.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Stay cool my friends!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...
Supergirl!
New fall PJ's complete with a super duper cape. She passed up Dora and Princess PJs to be Supergirl. And then practiced her karate moves all night. Hilarious!
Playing school... "Just like my friends Karly K and Evie who get to go to school."

Weekend of Mixed Emotions
Friday:
Going into this weekend... I knew it would be hard. It would be emotional. A good friend and coworker was gravely ill and fighting for her life. She lost her battle on Saturday, after a brief but severe illness.
The thoughts that keep running through my head: at least she didn't suffer, at least she lived a happy life, at least she knew to eat dessert first. She had a favorite saying, "Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it." Rest in peace Janna and may God bless her family and friends during this difficult time.
My saving grace:
On Saturday we spent the day at Andy's parent's house celebrating his brother's birthday. It was such a great day to be surrounded by family, telling stories, making each other laugh, watching the cousins play.
I also put in a long distance phone call to my mama, just to hear her voice and we got an impromptu visit from our besties, Annette and Davy. There is nothing more special than family and friends. And I hope all of mine know how much they mean to me, to us... Andy, Reagan and I wouldn't be where we are today without them.
Some pics over the weekend:
The SMS (Saturday Morning Snuggle)
Happy birthday Uncle Scotty!
Reagan's favorite activity: face painting. She loves it! And never passes up an opportunity to have her face painted... Uncle Scotty did great! I think he needs to start his own business.
The after:
It's not a trip to G&G W's without breaking out the Deere for a ride...
Selfie:
By Sunday I needed a distraction. Something to keep my mind busy. And with the perfect weather, I decided to pack up Rea and head to my happy place- Adventure Bay. The best day for it- the pool was empty and the sun was high. So relaxing...
Five more minutes and she would have been asleep in the sun...
Our first time checking out the circus. Rea loved it but she also asked me when she could go up on stage... loves to perform!
Warms my heart- Reagan reading her new Ranger Rick while I fix supper. So sweet. (Note the size of her new 'purse,' aka one of my old bags bigger than her, and yes, it's filled with toddler treasures.)
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Remember to hold your loved ones tight and tell them how much you love them.
