Parks and Recreation

The girls and I have had a really good week. I took Aubrey to the park and to the Discovery Center one day. I had a craft day with the girls on Saturday and made a awesome burlap wreath! Aubrey loves the park. I think she could play all day if I let her. She always makes a friend when we go, she is just friendly and it is really cute. We did bubbles one day and all the kids came over to pop bubbles. Kids love bubbles, I mean really love bubbles. I don't get it but if it makes them happy I am all about it. I also love how excited Aubrey gets about stuff. I bought her Popsicles for her treat for being good at school and she just light up with joy. It just warms my heart to see the smile on her face. She also gets that way about Clifford the Big Red Dog tv show but hey I still feel good! Aubrey enjoys the Discovery center. It has gotten so much cooler since I was kid. We spent like 2 hours in there without even realizing it. Right now they have animontronic dinosaurs that are so cool. There is a life size T-rex and a triceratops, they make noises and follow your movements. Aubrey was scared of them at first but after she realized that they weren't going to eat her she like them alot. I also learned that T-rex does have good eyesight, so Jurassic Park got it wrong, thanks for the false info Spielberg! We have a free membership to the Discovery center so I think we will be there alot this summer along with the several trips to the park. I only went to the park twice this week and I already have a flip flop tan! Maybe I won't be so pasty this year if we get outside alot this summer! On Saturday some of my friends and I got together to make burlap wreaths. It was so fun. I know it sounds kind of nerdy but it was so nice. My mom watched both girls so I was kid free for 4 hours and it was really relaxing! We got the idea for the wreaths from this blog http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010-burlap-wreath-and-giveaway.html. The blog has lots of great crafty ideas too! Here is the picture of the finished product

It was actually easy to make. Cutting out all the circles was the most time consuming and the burlap got every where! So if you try it yourself be prepared to get burlap all over yourself. If your wondering what Matt has been up to all week, he has been working his little buns off. He even working Sunday for overtime. I guess some one has too and we are so gratefully he does! That's all for this week. Oh and no I have not started my diet workout plan yet still working on it. Love you guys and God Bless!
