City Works Day

City Works Day

Wednesday, May 27, 2015

So a nearby city has this fun free event called City Works Day where they bring tons of city vehicles into the library parking lot and little kids can walk around and explore, sit in the vehicles (honk the horns!), talk to the workers (police officers, fire fighters, construction truck drivers, etc) plus there are tons of booths with little goodies like pencils, coloring books, frisbees, garbage truck toys!, candy and more! To say this was little kid heaven is an understatement. My boys (especially Jack) were on Cloud 9. Plus we went with our BFFs Emily, Emma & Lizzy which makes everything even more fun!

Onto the inevitable picture overload.

^I don't know, don't ask.

^Phillip was not so sure about the garbage truck haha!

^Free freshly popped popcorn!? Happy littles!

^It's a dang good thing this kitty was not yet adoptable because if she was I'm pretty sure I might have walked away with her. I mean do you see her!? Cutest little kitten and plus she's orange which is Jack's favorite color so basically she was perfect. Plus I'm pregnant and I want to take anything home that is tiny and cute.

 ^let's not make riding in the back of police cars a regular thing, okay little ones? i know it seems pretty cool buuuuut...ya know.

Thanks, city of Folsom, for a fun day! We'll be back next year!

A day at Fairytale Town with our BFFs.

A day at Fairytale Town with our BFFs.

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

I've blogged before about Fairytale Town but in case you don't remember, it's basically a glorified park...which you pay to get into. Luckily, it's pretty inexpensive especially when you score a BOGO coupon! And little kids seriously love it here so it's worth the few bucks every so often. I used to come here as a kid myself all the time so it's so fun seeing my own littles experiencing it now!

Anyway we've been lucky lately to get to spend lots of time with our BFFs. Emily is basically the best (insert so many tears that she is moving this summer!!) and Jack & Emma are pretty much inseparable. Add in that Phillip has developed a major baby crush on Lizzy lately (he is so excited whenever he sees her - he'll stare at her forever in her car seat ha! - and is basically completely enthralled with the whole idea of a baby...let's hope that sticks when baby sister comes around!) and basically our families are just a perfect match.

Little Emma just turned 3 (THREE?!...that means my baby is turning three soon ahhh!) and for her birthday we took a day trip to Fairytale Town. Enter so many pictures.

^Jack told me (and anyone else he saw) the rest of the day "the sheeps were sleeping. they didn't wake up." yep. kind of boring sheep.

I didn't get any pictures of the slides but let's just talk for a second about how much Phillip loved the slides and could have gone one million times down each one and how Scaredy Jack didn't dare go down any of the big (or semi-big) slides. He was happy to watch Emma & Phillip go down and cheer for them haha! It's crazy how different the two boys are!

^how adorable is it that emma asked to hold jack's hand? basically i was dying over this cuteness.

^these two kill me. Jack is going to be a bucket of tears come summer when little Emma moves away! First best friends are irreplaceable.

Up tomorrow: City Works Day with our BFFs.
