Rain, rain, go away...or just play in it!!

Friday was gloomy around here, but the rain held off and it was decently warm. We had a surprise visit from Grandma & Grandpa Ruiz from Toledo and so the day turned out to be great!! We even got out to play and get some energy out of my crazy lil girl!





Saturday was another story...it sprinkled and rained on and off throughout the day, but that didn't stop Katy and Grandma Metzger. They played in the rain anyway with their umbrellas.

Friday Playdate

Friday we went to the Dean's and had lunch. Emily and Katy had fun running around and playing while Stephanie and I caught up. Aren't these girls adorable?!

COSI

This Friday our field trip was to COSI. It was Katy's 1st time and I hadn't been since grade school - it was an experience!





Papa Metzger would be proud - she loved the little house and enjoyed building and fixing up the place. "Mommy - I'm not done yet...I'm still fixing stuff!"






This little girl wanted to "drive" the car so bad and she asked Katy to share as soon as Katy sat down in the drivers seat. Katy shared but as you can see she wasn't happy about it. Her look says it all!


Snack time and enjoying the 60 degree day!


The pulse drum which mimicked your heart beat. As you see in the next picture, she was just so excited about being here and was WOUND UP!



I had to check out my pulse once she let go and mine was only 80...I was in desperate need of a nap!

Playdate with Mommy!

On Friday the 5th, Katy and I were off to check out a new place that I heard about from a friend. We went to Recreations Outlet. Its an indoor playground where you can try out their swing sets, trampolines and toys, but also a great place for the kids to get out their energy during the winter. To say the least, Katy thoroughly enjoyed herself and I loved watching her run around playing like a maniac!











We finished off our date with lunch at Wendy's...the girl loves her cheeseburgers and oranges!

Lunch with Katy

One of the best parts of my Fridays is lunch with Katy. Lately she has been partial to Panera and that is just fine with me. They have some pretty amazing mac n cheese and with a kids meal it comes with yogurt - that is 2 of Katy's favorites! Here she is enjoying her lunch and being my girl!!

Playgrounds and Picnics!

Today was an awesome day to be outside and we enjoyed every minute of it!! The Frosty was a special treat after the playground, because she pooped on the potty the day before...and she loved every bite:)

Beautiful day at the Zoo!

On Friday Katy and I met my friend Stephanie and her daughter Emily at the zoo. It was a gorgeous day and it was great Mommy and Katy time!



Katy enjoyed tagging along with Emily's backpack (or pack-pack in Katy speak).



Katy was thrilled to ride the carousel!
