Wordless Wednesday~ Mesmerized

Indoor fun

The cold winter has forced us to get creative with indoor fun ideas for burning off toddler steam. I know we are all anxious and ready for spring so we can play outside!

Science experiments at daycare. I loved hearing Reagan's excited recant of how the experiment went down ("Mommy it was SO cool!"): baking soda, vinegar, water, food coloring, and a very gracious Jacque for letting the kids build a volcano in her kitchen! :)

Posing for mom's camera and climbing on furniture:

Painting!

And the best part of our weekend- celebrating Papa's birthday!  We enjoyed a delicious brunch with family. The perfect way to spend a Sunday. Happy birthday Papa- we love you!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Fun in the snow!

Only in the Midwest can you endure a snow squall one morning and have 43 degree temps that same afternoon! We made the most of the nice weather yesterday and played outside after getting home from work/daycare.

Rea had so much fun with her scoop and sledding!

Another blizzard warning is on the horizon... stay safe my friends!

Worn out.

After a weekend filled with Valentine's day festivities, three separate play dates with friends and cousins, Kids Church, a trip to the grocery store and Music and Movement at the library, this toddler  Superhero princess was wore out!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have a couple fun family traditions for Valentine's day- heart-shaped pizza, toasting with apple juice and peanut gets to open a Valentine treat from us.

Happy heart day from our family to yours!

Birthday Road Trip

Having a birthday the first week in February, I've learned to be flexible with birthday plans on account of the lovely winter weather.  This year was no different. We had plans to head to Kansas City for a girl's weekend but due to the impending winter storm, changed our plans and headed to the Tanger Outlet instead.

It just so happens there is a local winery nearby which we also decided to check out. I'm so glad we did- It was the perfect cozy place to spend a cold, wintry afternoon. They had delicious wine, yummy appetizers and a warm fireplace. 

I had a great day celebrating and shopping with my girls....makes turning another year older that much more bearable.

I'd like to have this saying in our living room...

Another great road trip with my girls!
