Picnics And A Surprise!

It has been so beautiful outside the past two days.

Yesterday I took my beautiful booger to school, watched my sick niece for a few hours, picked up my big girl came home and fed lunch. 

John got his school money so I went grocery shopping (bought all the girls Valentines stuff) and spent 2 1/2 hours in the store. 

Came home unloaded the car, put our packed boxes in the car quickly went to the library returned and picked out books for the girls ran to my moms unloaded the car and ran Kylie Jade to gymnastics.

Which, by the way, she is doing AWESOME at. 

She is really starting to be less afraid. I am so proud of her! 

She is moving to Gymnastics 1 when this session ends.

It seems like she was that newly two year old starting class and now she's almost 5. 

Anyway John had a long lunch picked him up, went to Zaxbys dropped him off and FINALLY came home. 

Only to do baths and workout then bed. 

I was exhausted but I have lost 16 lbs to date and I'm not stopping now.

Today John need to run to Chattanooga State to pick up his books and since it was to be another pretty day I figured we'd have a picnic at river park.

Packed our lunches and loaded up the girls and we were on our way. 

The girls spent some time first playing on the playground (we arrived around 10:15.)

They had so much fun.

Slide time 

Bahahaha

Swinging while talking with a friend she made

Little one often terrorizes the playground.

Today she found a sweet innocent looking girl and pulled her hair clip right out of her head.

I wasn't surprised just made her give it back and say she was sorry then she had to leave that play area.

That kid I swear. 

Next we decided to eat lunch! 

I packed cajun chicken, cheese, olive and lettuce sandwiches, with applesauce celery and V8 juice. 

For a "snack" they got doritos which the girls thoroughly enjoyed.

They ate so fast and were so ready to get back out there.

Lunch time!

Next we hit bathrooms and then we decided to take a stroll.

To my surprise John joined us (I thought he was going to find a shady spot to start his homework)

We walked and enjoyed the day.

Kylie Jade then came up with a brilliant idea...she needed Ice Cream.

So John decided to haul us all down to ColdStone. 

The girls were thrilled.

Kylie Jade got dreamcicle with gumballs, Madilyn got chocolate with M&Ms, I got founders favorite and John got two ice creams mixed.

Although the girls were sharing, because they are just sweet like that.

Picking out flavors

Eating 

We came home and spent the rest of the afternoon/evening outside.

My brother came over and we played frisbee.

We also played tag, racing, soccer, ring around the rosie and read books sitting in the back of the trunk.

We also filled out Valentines. 

The girls decided to clean out the water table

It was dinnertime I fixed tacos.

They were delicious. 

Then I gave them baths and did Wii fit. 

We've been doing colored baths every night tonight was pink, the other night was blue.

Well I am beyond exhausted and Madilyn is about ready for bed.

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.

Sorry I haven't been updating as much I just have been so busy.

Until Next Time...
