Our week began with a bag by experiencing Franky's Fun Park in Columbia and the zoo. I was a bit worried as we drove into Columbia with the monsoon rain beating on my windshield! Thanks to some quick thinking, Franky's Fun Park filled the time for us while the skies cleared and the rain departed!
This indoor play park for my crew was PERFECT! They were contained and happy! I could sit down! Day 1 of Spring Break was going great! Ben had NO FEAR and was quick to show me he was in fact 4 not 2 like I think he is!! Typical Momma Wylie was quick to offer assistance to little man but he realized after about 2 rounds of her instructions he had this fun park down!
Ben loved waving "hey" to all the animals in the zoo! So precious!
Love my sweet little loves to pieces!
Day 2 of break was a stay at home and play kind of day! Perfect for the 9 loads of laundry I needed to do and the closets that seemed to be striking in my on-the-market house!!
Thankfully the weather was beautiful again so outside the kids went and to work I went!
Playdates with friends and Toy Story helped us survive this gorgeous day!
Recently, Ben has discovered his undying love for Buzz Lightyear! While Woody is great, it is really Buzz he adores! On this showing of Toy Story, Ben found it most appropriate to have his friends, his costume and his blanket alongside to make the experience top notch! Before you knew it, Charlie had joined in the fun and there those 2 sat for the entire movie! YEAH for costumes, brothers and entertaining movies!
Meanwhile, the girls were working on planning their "party" in the playhouse! This discussion was super serious and the food menu sounded delightful! There were many trips taken from the playhouse to "Target"! In a snap, these 3 loves had turned wood chips into birthday cake and cookies with pink frosting! The conversations from this playhouse were priceless!
Being the good dad Bubba is, he arrived home one evening with one of our favorite things! We all love them but Ben has a strong affection for this delightful goodness!
I will not admit to how many he might have eaten on this day!
While our break did try to trick us and throw us some cold weather, nothing could have dampened the spirits of 2 prissy little girls! These 2 have enjoyed many playmates in their room this week where they have attended dances, held concerts, cared for babies and so much more! However, one night they decided to dabble in the field of cosmetology! Bless our souls! They were truly "Bow Heads" on this night! And loved EVERY minute of it!
Thankfully Baby Ben doesn't really know the difference because I can assure you his older brother was not going to have any part of this craziness! Thank you Ben for being your sister's "doll" sometimes!
The week ended with a milestone of sorts! Bubba conquered the Cooper River Bridge Run! I went along for moral support and for the fun day! Although, we would have argued with you on Saturday because we were CERTAIN we were once again in college and 22...Sunday arrived and reminded us we are NOT in college, we do have kids who require a lot of entertainment and the idea of eating Grouchos and dozing off in the sun on the back porch was NOT going to happen! However, the word FUN doesn't really describe our weekend! We had a wonderful trip and couldn't have asked for a better want to wrap up Spring Break 2013!
And thanks to my long lost brother, who though my name was Valerie (yes he introduced me as this?!?!) and he was also called Ernesto for the day (again ?!?! not sure?!?!) ... Thanks for the hospitality, fun day and most importantly the INCREDIBLE LAUGHS from our weekend!
Love ya!
The countdown for summer is on! Let's hope these school days fly by so we can have more incredible weeks and weekends like this!
