Imagination Island

Last weekend it was back to the cold, and I didn't feel like spending all day out in the cold. So it was back to trying to find something fun for the kids to do. We ended up at Imagination Island in Plymouth. I would describe it as a cross between Kidz Wurld and the Children's Museum in Easton. It had lots of room to run and climb, and it also had a bunch of little playhouse, each with their own theme. Both the kids had a great time. Pat loved all of the playhouses and Renee loved the slide and driving in the little car. Pat said he can't wait to go back and bring Daddy.

Patrick's 3rd Birthday Party

My baby boy is three. I can't believe it! He has grown up so much in the past year. His language skills have exploded. No more one or two word answers. It's full sentences for this little guy. He barely resembles a baby anymore. He is a full fledged little kid complete with his own ideas and opinions. Often times he expresses himself quite loudly. He can be very sweet too. He loves to give a quick snuggle, then it's Whoosh! He's off again. I'm loving almost every minute of the adventure that is Patrick.
Yesterday we had Patrick's third birthday party. It was a tractor theme complete with a real bobcat. It's difficult to tell who had a better time with it, the kids, or the adults. Patrick had a wonderful time at his party, and especially loved chaffuering his buddies around in his new Artic Cat.

End of Winter Fun

It's almost spring. We can feel it in the air. That doesn't mean, however, that we can't enjoy some late winter fun. A few weeks ago Pat and Kenny went to our city's Winter Festival. Poor Renee was sick so her and I stayed home. The boys had a great time visiting the bonfire, and of course visiting the giant snow globe. Kenny is such a good Daddy. He waited over an hour in line with Pat for their turn.
The following weekend we went to the RI camping show. Both the kids had such a good time crawling through the campers, and playing on the bunk beds. I think there may very well be on in our future. :)

Blizzard!

Providence Children's Museum

Last week was Feburary vacation. I had the absolute best time with the kiddos. I love that Renee is getting to the age that she's easier to take places, and Pat still loves our adventures. On Thursday my Mom and I took the kids over the the Providence Children's Museum. We've been before but, we always have a great time. Pat had a blast playing in the water room. Of course my son is the only one in the room without a smock.
I got to spend some extra Mommy/baby time with Renee at the museum, because Pat refused to leave the water room for the longest time. Just looking at the pictures of Renee I can't believe how fast she's growing!
After the museum it was time to head to Papa Ginos for Pat's current favorite food. PIZZA. Pat, of course, entertained us even in the restaurant.
