Haircut

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:25:09 +0200

As you can see a haircut for Brennan is NOT a fun thing! What is hard to believe, based on the picture above, is that it is actually getting to be an easier thing for him. Poor guy though! I try to make the time between cuts, or should I says buzzes, as LONG as possible.

Coffee Date with Karis

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:52:06 +0200

Karis recently had her day out with mama. We had a good time going to the Flora Mall that’s close to our house. We did a little shopping for everyone. Karis got a new purse (shown above) and we got a present for each Brennan & Reegan. Reegan got a pink purse and Brennan got a Thomas the Tank Engine train. I had no idea he would love it so much! He even goes to bed with Thomas!
We even got ourselves a little coffee & a treat!
In other big Karis news, she started
taking showers recently. It’s funny
what gets a kid excited. She is now
a big girl and taking her own showers.
With all that curly hair, I have to still
help her with that. But she is doing
all the washing on her own!!
She is one happy girl!!

Time for Play

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:14:27 +0200

Just a fun day at the park! If my kids could spend all day, every day at the park, they would SO do it!! We’re off again to another one tomorrow before summer gets away from us! This one will be complete with some water activities!! =)

Brennan’s turn at a “date”

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:08:41 +0200

It was Brennan’s turn for a day out with mama. He was fairly easy to please. A trip to the playground and McDonalds, included with ice cream!!
So, we headed to one of our favorite parks to play.

Brennan was loving the
slide on this particular
trip!

And no trip is complete
without playing in the
sandbox. It is really
cool because at certain
parks in the city they
leave sand toys in the
sandbox, so no need to
drag your own along.

Prague seems to be on
a mission to redo all the
major parks/playgrounds
in the city center. We are
happy to make use of these
new parks! They are
wonderful!!
There is also a new waterfall
close by. So off we went to
throw some rocks in the
water. That seems to never
get old with him!! Ha!

Then off to enjoy a Happy
Meal, topped off with
a McFlurry!! Which he
didn’t even eat half of!

The trip was wrapped up
with mama paying for a
token (actually 2) to ride
a car and a boat before we
headed home. I think he would agree that we had a great time!

A “date” with Reegan

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:38:53 +0200

We have been talking for months (probably longer really) that we needed to make a point to have one on one time with each of our kiddos. A time when they could pick something they would like to do and have one parent’s undivided attention. Today was Reegan’s day! I gave her a few options and really, she just wanted to go to the play ground! So we did! I forgot to pull out the camera for that, but afterwards we went for lunch. Ar first I gave her the option of McDonalds or KFC.
Then I remembered a nice restaurant
near by and all she really wanted was
french fries, so we went to Red, Hot &
Blues. It was SO nice! The fast food
restaurants would have been packed,
but our restaurant only had a handful
of people in it and SUCH better food!!
We shared a chicken wrap and some
french fries! Perfect for us!! Reegan
is not normally a good eater, but maybe
this one on one time is just what she
needed because she ate wonderfully!

We then headed to Starbucks for some
coffee!! Reegan called it coffee, but it
was really just some frothy milk with
vanilla.
Check out her video drinking coffee!

We both had a great time together!
