Fun week with Ashton

As anyone living on the west coast knows, we have had a stormy week! It was cold, windy, and raining most of the week. This means no park or outside play, which means I had to be extra creative to keep Ashton entertained. Even though we do a lot of playing every week, sometimes its just fun to remember the fun week we had.

Monday was a holiday so I decided it would be fun to go to the movies. Ashton and I saw the Princess and the Frog and we loved it. He sat through the whole movie and really liked the frogs. When the movie was over he said "more frogs mom, see it again." I think we will have to buy it when it comes out. We had a lot of fun and Ashton was the perfect little date.

The next day Krystle called and asked us to meet her, Luke, and Dan at Chucky Cheese. Of course we said yes! Ashton can actually play a lot of the games so he loves going there. It was fun to see the boys running around like crazy just laughing and having fun.

Then we had a stay at home day. I wanted to get some sewing done so we played some games and hung out at home. I am pretty sure that every single toy and game we owned was out and played with during the course of the day. Sometimes it is just nice to be home, all warm and comfortable and enjoy the rain.

The next two days we had play dates with several of our friends. Ashton looks forward to these days, as do I. I get to have adult conversation and Ashton gets to work out his giggles and energy. Then my parents and little sister came to visit for the weekend, but that is its own post.

Despite the fact that we had lots of rainy and cold days, we still managed to have a blast. Ashton also got new church clothes this past week and he was so cute on Sunday, I had to take a picture of him, He looks so handsome all dressed up. He even got new shoes. I especially love that he poses for pictures now, he is just too cute!
