Lakebottom Park

The PICP met up up at Lakebottom Park this morning. This is by far the nicest park in Columbus. We took a blanket and chair and I packed fresh pineapple and strawberries and bananas to take. Sierra found some friends on the playground and had a great time running around. The Easter Bunny arrived via blaring fire truck and circled the park a few times. The kids, of course, went nuts! We got to take pictures with the Easter Bunny, Sierra participated in the egg hunt and Mr. Gage passed right out on the blanket! It was a beautiful day and we all really enjoyed spending some time outside with friends!

Friday Night

Stephenie and little Eli came over and we dyed eggs. I got the quesadilla maker out and cooked spinach, mushrooms, chicken, and onions and set that out with salsa, guacamole, and cheese and we had a great dinner. Eli slept almost the entire time he was here - wish my kids would sleep like that! Gage was quite interested in Eli and creeped his way over to check him out. It was a really nice evening and I stayed up way too late talking with Steph - but it was much needed!

Spring Fling

In lieu of the typical Easter themed sugar fest most classes have, Sierra's class held a Spring Fling dance. The students decorated the class with twinkle lights, flowers, and an aluminum disco ball and they served healthy snacks like bananas, juice, and strawberries. We had a great time - Gage and I danced to many silly songs with Sierra and her class. The kids also showed us some dances they had learned, including how they did the Macarena to the months of the year. I am so happy with her teachers this year and how they consistenly go above and beyond what is expected. Her first dance...Awwww!

Moving and Shaking

This little boy is well on his way to independent mobility. He is never still and wants to go go go all the time! He can snake his way across the room right now but I am guessing it won't be more than a few weeks before he is properly crawling. Then I think I am in a world of trouble!

Yummy Yummy Oatmeal

Baby Gage thought this was pretty good stuff!

Monkey Joes

We went to a Hello Kitty themed birthday party and Monkey Joe's last weekend. Sierra always loves playing here. I think she was feeling a little off this time though. She didn't play as much and wouldn't let me out of her sight. She still enjoyed cake and pizza and saw some playgroup friends. Gage got on the baby bouncy and scooted and bounced around a little. We made wishes in the fountain on the way out!

Kid Pics

Gage just loves Sierra so much. They have a lot of fun together. Gage is growing more and more every day. Watching him learn and achieve new milestones is so awesome. Sierra is such a big help. The kids plus Delilah are a lot of work though. The three of them wear me out! I think Gage may end up being a big help in that department. She got in face and tried to lick him and he reached out and grabbed a big hunk of hair on her face! Go Gage!! Sierra is still obsessed with Alvin and the Chipmunks. We have to "pretend" different scenarios all the time...They all start out the same. "OK mom, let's pretend I'm Simon, you're Alvin and Gage is Theodore." She is incredibly dramatic and imaginative - I wish I had more energy for her!
