Yard Work Helper

Jay needed mulch for the backyard so my dad was kind enough to pick a truckload up for us and bring it over after Sean's soccer game one Saturday morning. Well as soon as Jack saw the wheelbarrow he had to ride in it so Papa took him on a ride around the yard and Jack thought that was soooo fun. Jack helped rake the mulch into place and tried to help Papa clean all the mulch out of the back of the truck. They all seemed to enjoy spreading the mulch together.

"CHEEEEEESE!!"

Jack, Sean and Virginia

Sean's Mom was in a CNA class and needed me to keep his sister Virginia one Friday that she had class all day and it so happened to also be a day Sean had no school so he got to spend the day with his brother and sister. They all had a blast together and had a great time at the park as you can tell by the pictures below.

Brier Creek Playdate

Our playgroup this fall decided to have a standing playdate every Wednesday so that we can all see each other on a regular basis and a few of the kids are in Mothers Morning out programs on Tues/Thurs. We alternate between a park or outing and someone's house to mix things up. We all really enjoy going to Brier Creek Toddler Park because its perfect size for the lil ones and is a nice setup so the mommy's can chat and keep an eye on the kids at the same time.

Maddie for the Day

Jack's BFF Maddie's Mom was going out of town for the weekend and her dad had to work that friday so we offered to keep Maddie for the day. Well I was also babysitting Seth the 4 yr old I watch on thursdays and Fridays so It was quite a busy day but Seth had preschool that day for 3 hours so Jack and Maddie had some time for just them. They all had a blast together and napped really well. I took Jack and Maddie on a wagon ride around the neighborhood while Seth was at school and boy that was a nice workout and neither Jack or Maddie is even that heavy. All in all it was a great day and as you can see the kids did a great job tearing all the toys out!!

Playdate at Shelly Lake

We met up with playgroup at Shelly Lake park today and Jack, Maddie and Caleb were the only 3 there but they all had a blast playing together at the park and then going down by the lake to feed bread to the ducks!! It was so fun watching Jack tear off little pieces from the bread to feed to the ducks!! He had a blast doing this with his friends!!

Maddie's 2nd Birthday Party & Leo's Baptism Party

Jack and Mommy had a super busy afternoon. First we headed out to a fun park in Garner to help Jack's BFF celebrate her 2nd birthday with some friends at a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party. The kids played for an hour or so at the park running around playing and enjoying themselves. Then the party moved into the Nature Center where they got to play with some indoor toys, color, and have some yummy snacks followed by cupcakes which all the kiddos seemed to enjoy very much!! We are so glad we were able to celebrate Maddie's Birthday with her and a bunch of friends!! Then we left the birthday party to headed to Zebulon to Aly and Jim's house to celebrate their son Leo's Baptism with a cookout. Jack was excited to see his friends Jackson and Drew there and they had a blast having a picnic inside on the floor together and playing. All in all it was a great day and a lot of fun was had by Jack!! Here are just a few pictures from the day!!

Mommy was out of town in Myrtle Beach for Aunt Courtney's Bachelorette Party weekend with a bunch of Courtney's friends so Daddy and Jack were home together!! Jack's Friend Drew turns 2 at the beginning of September and they had a birthday party for him at their house which included lots of fun activities in the backyard and pizza and cake. There was also an appearance made by Elmo and a Clown!! Jack was very excited about Elmo being there to sing songs and play with the kids.
