Snuggle Bug !

Each day when we are at home for an extended period of time, I hear a sweet little voice call out to me "Mom, come snuggle me on the couch". She is such a sweet little love bug and I cherish these moments !

Favorite Family Fun !

So we enjoyed our favorite park so much that we had to share the fun with Jake too. We headed there after church today and it made for a really great sabbath day. I felt that it was actually more spiritually appropriate for us to do rather than staying home and having my children end up watching TV. It was such a great family day and made us feel warm and fuzzy as parents to be enjoying our children as they do what they do best... play !

My Favorite Park !

I took the girls to the park today. It is a park that has been around for awhile but that we have rarely been to. We have so many parks here in Moorpark that I have not felt the need to branch out much. Well that has changed ! I have made a personal resolution to go out of my way to find parks that fufill both of my childrens needs. Madison needs parks that have tons of open space and highly accessible equipment. She loves to swing and so it helps to have special swings that accomodate her 7 year old body with support and seat belts. Brooklyn on the other hand can access any type of playground but being the social butterfly that she is, she wants to go where other kids are around that she can play with. My needs are pretty simple, give me a park that is enclosed or tucked away from the street where my kids can roam safely and I'm happy.
Well today I revisited that kind of park. It fits all of our needs! It is called a sensory park. It is only a 10 minute drive away and has provided us hours of fun and stress free playtime. I took the girls out with Flora ( my right hand gal ) and we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch and hours of exploration. There is also a club house there and so there is always a birthday party going on (which means more kiddos to come play when the party is over ). I think I may even have Brooklyns 4th birthday party held there come November.

The Handyman Can

Jake has found the inner handyman ! He replaced all of our bathroom sinks today . After 5 years of rusting sinks ( they were the originals )we are left to think, why did we not try this earlier ? Oh well, they look great and we appreciate them all the more ! Thanks Honey ! My "honey-do" list should keep you perfecting those skills all year long.
