Toddler Town = Our New FAVORITE place!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!! We went to visit Toddler Town today, this amazing new place that we just HAPPENED upon, which is right down the street from us. I know where we are spending the rest of the hot summer!!!!! It is a fabulous play spot for kids 5 and under. It's divided up into centers, with a farm area, transportation area, dress ups, play house, mats to jump and run on, and even a baby area. Bryce LOVED it. Here are some pics, and I have a video I will try to get up and running tonight. While we were there we got a phonecall with MOST exciting news (NO, i am not pregnant. and the news isn't even about me) but we are totally thrilled, and we will share when we know we can. (I don't know if its news I can share yet!) Nonetheless, it has been a TERRIFIC day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The highlight of the visit, was definitely the TWO train tables!!!! Lots of tracks, lots of trains, cars, trucks, and bridges! Posted by Picasa

Someone needs to CLEAN UP AROUND HERE!!!! Bryce had SUCH fun vaccuuming, and saying VROOOM! Posted by Picasa

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. . .been too busy posting scrapbook pages on MY blog (how selfish of me!!!) I posted some new layouts of Bryce though, so if you aren't a regular attender of MY blog, go check it out to see pics of the big bad toddler B!
We are super SUPER excited because this morning I found a new place that just opened. . .an INDOOR play area for TODDLERS!!!!! HOOOOOOORAY! We are totally psyched to go check it out. It's called Toddler Time, and it was created by a mom in Jacksonville who felt like her little ones needed a safe indoor place to play, where they wouldn't get trampled by the big kids! MY FEELINGS EXACTLY!!! (plus the air conditioning is CERTAINLY a plus!) So as we await Tropical Storm Ernesto to arrive, after nap time I think we might go check it out! (And maybe we will take Daddy back tomorrow!)

new link! new baby!???

I added a new link today - my cousin Bill (although the poor guy will always still be "Billy" in this family) and his wife Elizabeth, who are having a BABY! Actually, they could be having a baby at this VERY MOMENT! She is late late late, but at his last post, this afternoon, they were heading to the hospital!!! HOORAY!!! I hope it's a BABY DAY!!!!!!!

one of our favorite things. . .

we are OBSESSED with the children's book author, Todd Parr. if you have kiddos, (at home or in your classroom!!) from age 1 to . . .well, my age at LEAST, you should check out these terrific books, and a pretty fun website too! (The website has coloring pages you can print too!!! Tater, you definitely need these in your classroom!!!) :)

Right now we are reading (over and over and over) Otto Has a Birthday Party, The Mommy Book, and Otto Goes to School. These are some of the few books that I can read over and over and OVER again, and not be totally irritated and fed up with!!!

Check out Todd Parr's website here!

Birthday smooches! We went to Lizzie's big 16th birthday bash tonight. Bryce stayed up TWO hours past his bedtime, danced and ran around like a maniac, ate lots of food, and made friends with Lizzie's friends! He was especially excited about her balloons, and the DJ's bubble machine! Posted by Picasa
