Party Trampoline

7 / 18 / 177 / 30 / 17

Oh my goodness… It’s heeeeere! The first official day of summer vacation!! If I’m being honest, I’ve been ready for this day since mid-May and I could not be more excited to kick off two full months with all four of us at home together. Miss G’s been very anxiously awaiting this day too {well except for the bit about us most likely buying a home and moving cities}, so I figured we’d kick things off with a fun little surprise out on our new Springfree Trampoline {the kids’ absolute favourite spot these days} and turned it into a party trampoline!

Celebrating the Sun With A Trampoline Party

5 / 22 / 177 / 30 / 17

You know what’s awesome about having a trampoline? More motivation than ever to have friends over! And with the summer sun officially here, we decided to host a little get together to celebrate. The best part? The kiddos happy playing outdoors for hours without any real effort on my part.

A SURPRISE for Grae & Sam!

4 / 27 / 174 / 27 / 17

We’ve been keeping a little secret from the kiddos for the past few weeks and I was SO excited to finally get to do the big reveal today. Thankfully it was it was a gorgeous afternoon, so Sam and I walked to school to pick up Miss G, which allowed me to capture her reaction as we turned the corner onto our street and our front yard came into view. I had no idea how she’d react {kids can be a little bit unpredictable when surprised, can’t they?}, but she was so, so thrilled when she finally realized what it was and that it was ours to keep.

Here’s how it went down…

Friday Fun

2 / 27 / 153 / 5 / 15

Today, after a morning at home that started out really well and ended quite poorly, we got a last minute invitation to join some friends at the Hilton before heading to their place for dinner. I {being me} was beginning to go absolutely stir crazy and needed to get out of the apartment, so I jumped at the opportunity, prepared a salad and a veggie tray with homemade dip, and had us all packed up and ready to go in 35 minutes. I’m so glad I said yes. It turned out to be an absolutely lovely afternoon filled with sunshine, play, good friends, and delicious food, and it doesn’t get much better than that.

Chalk on the Trampoline

This afternoon we tried the neatest thing… Using chalk on the trampoline! My sister-in-law suggested the idea and the kids absolutely loved it. The chalk went on smoothly and vibrantly, and in no time, the trampoline was transformed into a giant chalkboard-esque canvas.

Whew! After a fun {slightly chaos-filled} Valentine’s Day tea this morning, we left our apartment in its ransacked state and headed out to a birthday party for Miss G’s very sweet little friend. The birthday girl’s present, a brand new trampoline, was a huge hit with Grae. As were the cupcakes and prince and princess photo op cutouts….
