Another day, another park!

2.23.12
Another beautiful February day! We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the park after story time at the library. We've been running around so much this week to activities and parks, and I'm exhausted! The kids don't seem the least bit phased. Where do they get all this energy?


And because this one is just too cute to not include, Asher with a purse and a baby. Or "bee-bee" as he likes to say.

Picnic

Another day, another picnic at the park! After our activity class at Huffhines this morning, we walked over to the playground to picnic and play. On the way, we walked by some bleachers at the soccer field. Teagan decided that would be the perfect spot for our picnic. So we had our lunch on the bleachers and then headed over to the playground.

Check out that hair!

Another beautiful Spring-ish day here. Can we call mid-February Spring? It sure feels like it. We packed up a lunch and headed out to Sprouts and then Mustang Park. The park is really close to Sprouts so I've been trying to make it my goal to take the kids to play there after we get some groceries. I don't think grocery shopping is high on the list as fun for kids, so I'm trying to balance it out with something I know they enjoy. Sliding continus to be the favorite activity for both kids. Going down head first together is the best! Check out that crazy static hair!

I can fit!

Asher was determined to fit his body into the shelf. I don't think it worked quite like he had planned.


Teagan fit three of her babies into her ring sling today. They all came with us in the car to go to the gym activity class. She buckled two in the middle seat and put one inside the middle console up front. Those babies sure keep her busy!

Always a party

Fun at the park

Teagan and Asher had a lot of fun at their favorite park this afternoon. Today they were both all about the slides. It was really fun to watch Teagan going down the slides with Asher on her lap. Of course Asher's favorite way to go down is head first.

Nap time?

Teagan sometimes likes to put a pillow on the coffee table, call it her "changing table" and have me dress her there in the morning. After she was dressed, Asher hopped up and decided to take a little rest.

I've been thinking about cute ways to present food to the kids. Tonight I cut cucumber slices into flower and heart shapes. The kids normally like cucumbers, because as Teagan told me, "They are juicy and green, and I love green." They loved the fun shapes. I usually core an apple and slice it into rings for them. I think next time I will use the heart shape and after I core it, use the heart cutter to make the hole a heart. T will definitely get excited about that.

Little Copycat

Asher was watching Teagan make birthday cakes with her play-doh yesterday. Today, while she was gone, he got out the play-doh and went and found the candles. I came around the corner to find him with the candles in the cakes saying "happy". He pretended to blow out the candles and eat the cake. He learns so much from copying Teagan!


Teagan had a really fun day with her Grandma today. She was looking forward to it all week. She likes to tell Asher often, "When you are as old as me, then you will get to go with Grandma also."

Valentine's Day

We started our day with Valentine's presents for the kids. Teagan got a jewelry box to decorate and Asher an aqua doodle coloring stuffed animal. They both had a lot of fun with their presents.


While Asher was napping, Teagan and I made cake pops. Teagan helped with measuring the ingredients for the cupcakes and frosting, and with decorating the frosted cake pops.

Asher and his ah-buh

Asher loves that he can go to the fridge and actually ask for an apple by saying "ah-buh". It is so exciting hearing him talk now. His new word today was "baby". I think he is getting to the point where he is learning about 1 new word per day.


Teagan worked on making some Valentines today. She really loves using glue! I think she only finished 4 out of about 10 she wants to make. Luckily her Valentines party with her friends is still over a week away.


All dressed up for her wedding! Teagan likes to dress up and have us sit on the couch while she dances. This is what she calls playing wedding. Not sure where she got this idea.
