On our way to a Train Museum/Birthday party

(Tara, does this count for my smiley smile face)

After lunch and birthday cake in the dinner car,

we explored the train!and the model trains with Kobe at the controlshe also enjoyed this train whistle ...

and

over

again :o)

Now for the 3 hours back home with

3 overexcited windblown babies on the verge of a sugar crash

Thankfully,

Art kept the peace

Sleeping like babies dopeacefully
When we finally got to the park,
I didn't dare wake them

Dinner Delight Night

is a Mama's night out!!

or IN..

whatever :o)

homeschool mama's taking a night for eachother

to laugh togetherand create together..
a new tradition for our little group
each lady brings an ingredient from a menu set beforehand by the hostessthen we prepare the food together

following the recipe cards taped to the cabinets

(Our sweet hostess.. Hi Casandra!)

and we celebrate togetherwhile enjoying great company

and a delicious dinner

don't we just need that sometimes!

Playfulness

I began my morning with a cup of coffee, blog reading

and cuddles with a towel swaddled baby after her bath

which is sweet enough,

but I knew I had to snap a picture when she said to me...

"I'm glad my self is free,

so you can be with me"
