Today is Amelia’s last day of school. She took her teacher a french lavender plant to help her have a relaxing summer. Our summer activities officially kick off this weekend with Disney Princess On Ice, Amelia is over the moon excited. We also have more beach trips planned, library visits, a trip to Busch Gardens, Sea World, and Universal Studios ( you gotta love living in Florida!) and many more fun activities including making lots of homemade popsicles and swimming in our pool. Summer, here we come!

Sprayground

With a forecasted high of nearly 90 degrees today, we decided that a morning at our local spray ground fit the bill. I’m not sure if spray grounds are unique to Florida or not, but they are the best thing ever for little kiddos on a hot day.

What’s the weather like where you are this weekend? What are your plans?

Busy Bee

This is what most mornings look like for Maggie. Her big sister is at preschool, and she is busy making big messes in her room. Jumping on the bed (supervised, of course) building with her wood blocks, playing her tiny red piano, coloring, and reading books are among her very favorite activities.

Maggie is still sleeping in her crib, but likes to practice sleeping in her big girl bed. She turns 2 in just two weeks, and I’m curious, when did you transition your child into their big bed?

Just a reminder, you can follow me on Facebook here.

Perfect Spring Day

This morning we took the girls to an annual spring favorite activity, the Chalk Festival in downtown Safety Harbor, Florida. I am always in awe of what these artists can create with chalk on a sidewalk. We also visited Starbucks, a salted caramel latte for me, a hot chocolate for Amelia, and a chocolate milk for little sis. The girls got to create their own chalk art, and play with hula hoops. Hooray for spring and Sunday mornings.

Hello, 2012.

I hope everyone is off to a fun start this year! We spent yesterday being lazy, taking naps, and ordering take-out, although we did manage to take down the xmas decorations. I knew that we needed to get outside today, since tomorrow will bring our coldest weather of the season, a high in the 50’s with a low in the 30’s. Brrrr, this is super cold for west central Florida! We are lucky enough to live close to the beach, so we took the girls to their favorite beach spot, the playground.
