Olympics!

We have been watching the London Olympics nonstop - I am such a fan! So, you can imagine my excitement when a proposal for an Olympics themed play group was put on the table. So fun. Tessa did an amazing job with the decorations and toddler friendly events such as snack eating, bathtub sitting, train playing ect. She had yummy red white and blue snacks for the kiddos and Mommy drinks that were delicious! Fun was had by all!

Twirly, Sweet Girly

Annabelle had a week filled with new experiences, tutu's and friends. She attended her first dance class- which was a blast! She loved the music and danced with her sweet girl friends Gwen and Cordelia. I guess this is where I start living vicariously through my daughter.... oh to be young again. Twirling around with no cares in the world. The girls were just adorable! Annabelle also starting riding in her "big girl" car seat. She loves facing forward and particularly looking out the window. It's so crazy to see her in that seat. She looks so big!!

Here are the pics of the week. Enjoy.

Water Blob

Yet another Pinterest project has spurred me into action. This week I decided to try the water blob (think water bed/ slip and slide with a twist). It was pretty easy- materials included plastic drop cloth and tape. I added some food coloring to make it a bit more exciting but I think next time I will add glitter or little pom poms to draw the kids attention. We had some of the playgroup over to try it out... they didn't really seem to be amused. Good thing I had the pool out and some snacks to keep them busy. Only Annabelle attempted to try the blob out. She actually had the most fun when I was adding the water into the drop cloth. She and our neighbors thought it was fun to watch the blob fill up.

Playgroup

Annabelle is lucky to have such a great playgroup. It's been so fun to watch these little one's grow and play together. They have a great time together every week.... and so do the Mama's!
