Pumpkin Painting Toddlers

One of my BFF's (Meghan, who just started her blog) lives down the road about 10 miles and we haven't had a whole day together in a long time.  We see each other at church twice a week for a few hours when we attend our mom's groups but we haven't had a day alone with just us and the babies in well over 6 months....until Wednesday!  

It was a pretty perfect day.  The babies painted, the babies got a bath (Boston's first time having a co-ed bath, gasp!), we all ate lunch, the babies played, the babies took at 3 hour nap and then Meg and I started our baking!  We didn't just bake any ol' something, we baked some pumpkin something!  We each had our own recipes so we could share them.  

I made the cream cheese filled pumpkin muffins that I talked about in this post and she made pumpkin muffins with cream cheese icing.  Holy-mother-of-goodenss....they were delish!  We even ate some around 4 in the afternoon with a fresh pot of coffee.  Everyone does that, right?

How cute are these babies?  They had an absolute blast painting.  They looked like little artist knowing exactly what they were doing.  Londyn was more into it than Boston was.  Boston would paint and then walk around and then come back and paint.  Guess painting a pumpkin is more of a "girl" thing to do.  Ha.  I was probably taking away his "man card" as Jer would say.  Although, I have to say that he did always tend to go with the blues, green and yellow.  While Londyn chose pink!  :)

They were so kind to each other sharing the paints.  

Then Boston (the clean guy) started noticing all of the paint on his leg and hands.  Not sure he was down for all the mess.  Maybe that's why he would get up and walk off.

Meg brought two bigger pumpkins and taped off a B and an L for them to paint over. 

They turned out toddler-ific!  :)  Cheese-ball I am.

Let's Go Splashing At The Pad With Friends

Our day at the splash pad consisted of a lot of picture taking, water, BFF's, mommies, sun, lunch and girl talk. 

Pretty much a perfect recipe for a play date in my book.

needed a picture without those dang sunglasses on.  

 Meghan is so sweet and has such a kind heart.  My favorite part: she loves B so much!  :)

B trying to feed Londyn (Meg's daughter) a mermaid.  Ha.  Excited for them to grow up as great friends!

 "Here, I'll wash it off for you if that will make it taste better!"

 Master B walking around like he owns the place.

 He thought it was so funny splashing her in the face.

Got a surprise overhead bucket dumped on his head.  wasn'ttoohappyatall

Once he discovered he could move these and spray people he was all better.

 Another BFF, Riley (Kelli's son).

 Kelli....this chick is hilarious.  She cracks me up!

Our day at the splash pad overall was pretty fantastic.  Getting to hang out with a great group of mommies is so much fun.  Not to mention, their kids are fun to be around, too.  They are all so sweet and well behaved and they all get along perfectly!

There's nothing like fun play dates with awesome people.

Lately

Here lately we've.....attended to 3 birthday parties, had play dates and learned that we need to child-proof more.

At Jaxon's 1st birthday party (before we went to see Thomas the Train, more on that another day).  Love these two.  They are definitely buddies.  

Secrets.  :)

Hugs from a buddy.

Uh oh.  Tug of War.  As I take pictures.  Ha.

Jaxon, the birthday boy.  Boston loves little kids, lately.

Sharing his grape with Jaxon.

Buds.

Jaxon with his mommy, Crystal.  Childhood friend and still great friends.  Love her to pieces.  Oh and her house.....well, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!  I guess that comes with being a pharmacist.  And yep, I bug her about what med's to give B when he's sick.  :)

This weekend, we....

Attended Londyn's 1st birthday party.  I totally forgot to take pictures of the birthday girl.....I was too busy taking pictures of this guy.

But I did manage to get a picture of Londyn's daddy with Jer.

Here lately, Boston has been becoming terrified of water.  Even his baths that he's loved so much all of his life.  Not sure what the heck is going on but he must get over it.  I'm hoping this is just a phase.

It must be time for swim lessons asap to kick the fear!

Daddy tried letting him feel the water and he wasn't having it.

Do daddy tried taking him to the other part of the pool where he would be able to walk in.  And nope.  Wasn't happening.

God did me well with blessing me with these two boys.  

Later that night, we headed over to Fort Worth for a birthday dinner with my brother!  Love him so much.  I can't believe you're 27, Bub!  :)

Recently, we noticed that this guy is pulling our kitchen and bathroom drawers open and emptying them out.  So not cool.  Especially when he gets a makeup compact and breaks it.

Since he is now more than my height he can even look into the drawers and choose what he wants.

"A cookie cutter looks fun, I'll take that."

Our play date with Londyn and my BFF aka Londyn's mommy, Meghan.  We made cookies that day and prepared the party favors.  Oh and, hung out by the pool.  :)  Hard life.

They love each other.  In a friendly/bff/sister-brother way.  :)  We haven't chosen a girlfriend for him just yet.  Uh huh, we'll choose the girlfriends.  We are kinda picky.  ;)

This makes me and Meg laugh.  He's not sure about the whole "touching the leg" thing.

Oh and then there's the "feeding" part to their relationship.  Such a gentleman.  And yes, we got it on video so that we can show them just in case there's ever a wedding they share.  

Happy Monday!
