Birthday Weekend Fun

June 1, 2015 | baby, blogging, family, holidays

Happy Monday! We had a GREAT weekend but it went by. so. fast. Karen and I had been planning on getting together at my parents house for a couple of months (we try to do it once or twice a year) and it was finally time. They had yet to meet Emma Kate and besides hanging out in Disney we hadn’t really seen them since my baby shower last July.

Bobby and I hung out with my mom and dad Friday and Friday evening they arrived and we just hung out and talked…well..the boys played video games of course.

Saturday Karen and I went shopping and got snowballs, of course. It’s tradition!

The weather was warm but not too bad so we were able to sit outside and hang out while my dad grilled and we had a great time. I had a surprise planned, since next weekend is Bobby’s birthday, I decided we would go ahead and celebrate early and decorate the dining room and have cake and ice cream. He was definitely surprised and it was delicious.

Sunday morning we indulged in another tradition, breakfast at the original Broken Egg Café.

Unfortunately, a little damper was put on things when I cut into my omelet and THERE WAS A BUG IN IT! Like, completely formed, legs and all. I freaked out and the waitress happened to be walking by and she freaked out, too. I was given a free meal but sadly I was no longer hungry.

We had a great time with our friends and I can’t wait to do it again!

I had to stop and get PJ’s coffee on the way out. Southern wedding cake flavor is back for summer and it’s my favorite. It’s probably a good thing we don’t have PJ’s by my house….

    What a fun weekend with Karen! But yikes about the Broken Egg Cafe! Last time I ate there they got my order all wrong and then argued with me about it. Hello! I know what I ordered! What they brought me was still good but I was dieting then and really wanted that lower calorie meal that I ordered.

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
