Logan was sitting on Rex – bad picture, but this NEVER happens. Rex hates the fact that we had a kid and he doesn’t like toddlers.
This just proves he’s coming around
Logan and I went for a 5 mile bike ride. It was so hot outside! He calls the bike trailer “My bike” as in “Mom, where’s my bike?“
The ride ended in the beautiful secluded forest park – definitely my new go-to place, as I hate kids that aren’t mine, aren’t related to me or aren’t my friends kids. I know I’m not alone here
They even had flying cars…..
Then yesterday we spent the entire morning at Logan’s new bff’s house. He won’t stop talking about Tyler and Tyler’s house and how cool it is….
we’ll be going back…
and buying like 500 more toys so our house is just as cool
The bubble gun was such a hit it belongs next to Kelly Clarson’s “Stronger” I am definitely going to be purchasing one this weekend.

Questions:
1. what is your favourite thing to play outside??
Beach. It’s a game, you know, where you lie outside in the sand and do nothing.
2. what are your plans this weekend??
nothing. working all day today and then shopping for Logan
3. moms – is your house full of toys??
I feel like whenever I go to someone else’s house that my son is deprived. I feel like I have lots of toys but I never have nearly as much as everyone else….oops!






Aw, fun! I had a giant swing set/play house thing growing up and I LIVED on it. Best investment my parents ever made because I was out there all day until sun down and then they could just put me to bed, lol.
We need a swing set. I swear…..it’s on the list. and My father built us a huge playhouse with a sandbox, swings, trapeze and fireman pole and we lived outside too. lol
I love to play beach too
But honestly, frisbee is my fav.
My house is full of DOG toys… Man, the things I do for them!
I love all your cute pics today. Made me smile…
I suck at frisbee but it IS most definitely fun
and I love that you have dog toys all over
I never had a ton of toys growing up…we always lived in a rural area so ended up playing outside more than inside. I could have used a bubble gun though, that’s for sure!
We had a pool and a huge massive backyard…..it was glorious.
I want to get a swimming pass so I can take Logan every day in the summer. Nothing tuckers him out more
omg, I love the beach game too! It’s my favourite
lol – it is a good one
when I had 1 kid, we didn’t have a lot of toys. but now that there are 4 kids? holy toy overload. the fact that I purchased very few of them myself means nothing. they. are. everywhere.
WOW! I can imagine with four things get toy crazy. I only have one and I already feel like we have too many toys
This is too funny and I am loving the pics – he is so damn happy! Great job!!
I’d have to agree with you on the beach. The entire month of August Peter’s family rents a beach house and it is my favorite thing in the world.
Enjoy your weekend! I have a girl’s night out in the city planned – much needed! Don’t work too hard
Can I come see you in August???
and YAY for girls nights out. If I had girls to go out with I’d do it every week! but I’m a loser and therefore, I don’t
Home from our HALF …. so glad to be done and so glad I could do it…doesn’t matter the time.
My house USE to be full of toys…with the kiddos getting older we have been able to clean out a lot although Owen still has a room full.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I’m coming right over to read the recap
I am so excited
Oh I love the game Beach! Especially with a margarita. So much fun
you are my new best friend.
Love, love, love this!!!!
I’m racing this weekend – I won an entry to a local 15K!
Avery has a lot of toys, but there is always someone with more toys.
That is AWESOME Mandy! I hope you smoke that 5k….or did smoke it ….and we have tons of toys too, I want to give them all away
lol
Lovin’ all the Logan pics. My cats avoided Evie for the longest time. Thankfully Evie has always understood being gentle with them and have been giving them treats, so they are coming around to her. Our siamese will even let her pick her up several times in a row. If I were our siamese, I would have been so done already!
I would say golfing is my fave thing to play outside…except I haven’t picked up a golf club since I got pg with Evie almost 4 years ago! But don’t worry, I’ll find out how much I suck at it at the National Transplant Games, when I do play golf.
Ran Transplant Trot 5k, just posted about it. Running with the group tomorrow am, meeting Cori after for my “Colour Me Rad” 5k prize, volunteering at the Kidney March Expo, and doing boring stuff like taxes.
YAY! I’m going to read you recap and you’ve got lots of 5ks coming up. Rex hates Logan…..so I bought Logan a life sized “furreal dog” yesterday….now Rex is jealous. It worked out perfectly
lol
Colin golfs….I’ve gotta learn
hahaha…the quest to be the cool house! okay, buy one of those giant trampolines and u’ll totally cream that kid with the dinky plastic slide.
so glad u’re getting out there and enjoying some awesome sun…but try not to get too hot, i’m a weenie in that dept. and get annoyed when it’s real summer weather.
LOL trampolines are so cool. I’d rather have a pool though
and I hate the hot hot hot if there’s humidity.. otherwise bring it
LOVE THE SHIRT!!! FYI
Unfortunately my weekend from here on out involves four nightshifts 7pm-7am in a row…………….can’t wait to get into my bed!! And get back to a normal schedule already!
argh, working at the hospital is rough. My mom doesn’t have to do nights anymore but shift work does get to you.
Get some sleep xo
Ha! I love your beach game.
Yes- I feel the same way with toys… it seems like we have plenty, but her friends always have more or better toys or something. But honestly, L’s not that into toys. She’s much rather be outside or play with friends and I’m okay with not drowning in toys!
Thanks Laura, feel free to come play beach with me anytime
and Logan is the same way – he loves baking with me, drawing/colouring and “the park” or “outside” that’s all he asks for. lol
oh and “dora” on tv
