Weekend Fun

I don't know when it happened, but it did. Maybe it was January 30, 2007, the day Jacob was born. All of a sudden, our lives weren't our lives anymore. Case in point: Our entire weekend has revolved around toddler activities. And here's the best part...this is the most excitement we've had in a long time and I love it!

On Friday, my playgroup went to the Children's Museum in Fort Worth. Jacob and I used to go to the San Jose Children's Museum back in California and this one was very similar, except for one thing. At this one, there was a huge area where you could build wooden train tracks and run the trains along them. Jacob was in train heaven.

How cool are these train tables? They have holes in the middle so you can crawl underneath and pop up in a hole and play with the trains all around you. We need one of these at home! Jacob's friend Hudson is in the other hole (and coincidentally, Hudson gave Jacob that very cute polo sweater he's wearing for his birthday)





Look at the big dinosaur!



This totally cracked me up. We were in the "hospital" with the "babies" and Jacob immediately picked up the bulb syringe and proceeded to suck the mucus out of the baby's nose. We must do this a lot to Maddie.



The grocery store was a hit. Here he is ringing up the other little boy's groceries.



Maddie fell asleep in the Bjorn while we were playing grocery store.



On Saturday, Mark took Jacob down to Blue Sky, a sports center in Keller so that he could register him for "First Kicks", a soccer league for 3-4 year olds! I can't tell you how excited we are for this. Jacob will be on a real team with a coach and will play every Saturday morning. It starts in May and runs for about 8 weeks. I think he is going to love, love, love it!

Saturday afternoon was our friend Kyle's 3rd birthday party at ASI Gymnastics in Keller. We've been there once before and by far Jacob's favorite part is swinging from the rope and landing in the foam block pit. Seriously, I wanted to swing from the rope and land in the foam block pit. This place is super fun! They also have individual trampolines that you can jump on which is always a big hit with the little ones.







Today (Sunday) was an event we've been anticipating for a long, long time: A Day Out With Thomas! Believe it or not, last year I was bummed when we moved here and found out that we had just missed Thomas. I was certainly NOT going to miss it this year. Thomas comes to Grapevine and takes the kids on a train ride along with tons of other activities including a Thomas jumpy house, petting zoo, and lots and lots of wooden trains to play with. Good thing we got oodles of practice at the Children's Museum!
