In The Zone

There is nothing like a beautiful summer-ish day and a swing.

It's the sort of day when you are like a fairy flying through the air. Or a butterfly, she had butterfly wings on earlier.

The Boss could swing ("wing") for hours - if I would push her for that long.

I won't and she refuses to learn how to pump.

She gets so relaxed when she "wings", she barely hangs on and looks dreamily off into space. If she were any more relaxed she'd be asleep.

This time I pushed her for 45 minutes. We had to stop so I could go in and start dinner. Psh, dinner.

Tent City

April 26, 2010

For Drama's 2nd Christmas Santa gave her 3 pop up tents and 2 tunnels. They all attach together in different configurations and, bonus, they fold up flat and slide under the couch. These have been the best gift ever. Every child and friend loves to play in these. Drama and Pooh Bear love to do their daily reading in them as well.

It should probably come as no surprise that The Boss and Aria love to play in them as well.

Slides are Slippery

It's quiet in my house, well Sesame Street is on but two babies are still sleeping and two children are not fighting! (Yes, Drama and Pooh Bear have rediscovered and love watching Sesame Street, whatever, it's not Sponge Bob.)

I love KSL classifieds. Where else can you find a totally awesome toddler play gym for $35! These are so expensive new so I have been trolling KSL for a couple of weeks to find a "gently used" one and really (I almost used totally again, I must be sleep deprived and reverting back to my high school days!) scored with this one...We needed something in the back yard for the Boss to play on since the big play set is way too big. This is perfect, only a foot and a half off the ground so the Boss can fall off and not get too hurt. Of course her sisters are always most helpful in matters such as this.


Yes, Pooh Bear is in her gym suit, not swim suit. She has taken to wearing just her gym suit on gymnastic days. It must be too hot for any other layers, like a pair of shorts! We have actually gone to the Eye Dr. to pick up her glasses dressed like this. That's good parenting!
