FLSP Hike

Brooke really wanted to go on a hike so we drove to FLSP.  Alex was excited at first but then dragged his feet and whined the whole trail.  We got back to the parking lot and I put him in the stroller because Brooke still wanted to hike and then I pushed him on another trail.  After a picnic lunch I got talked into going to the beach side where I decided I had enough and laid right down in the sand.  The kiddos had some fun burying my feet before we headed home for nap.

Beach Day with Alex

It was going to be gorgeous outside so I decided to take Alex to the beach while Brooke was at school.  We stopped by Daddy at work and brought him and his coworkers donuts first.  Then had a fun time playing in the sand, dipping our toes in the cold water, playing on the playground, and enjoying a picnic lunch with a view.  Not bad for a Monday!

Tonight for fun I bathed the kids in our tub and let them play with the jets on.  They had a good time in the ‘big bath!’

Today was another gorgeous one so I took the kiddos to NWRP for a picnic.  We walked down the main road to make it easier.  We enjoyed lunch, throwing rocks/sticks in the river, and playing before heading back.

Brooke’s New Skirts

I decided to make some skirts for Brooke as I make all her under dress/skirt shorts out of old leggings (I’ve cut all Alex’s pants that don’t fit into shorts too).  All the skirts for her size are inappropriately short for her so I decided to make her some custom ones.  I started with scrap silver fabric that I had from an old halloween costume.  Then I made a blue one out of some fabric I had.  I took one of her dresses that was too short, cut off the top, and make a skirt from it.  Then Brooke and I went on a shopping trip to the fabric store and she picked out three fabrics for skirts: a bunny fabric, flower fabric, and butterfly fabric.  She now has 6 new custom skirts and she loves wearing them.
