Bliss and Blair

We live really close to the school and I had been excited about maybe walking to school on some nice mornings. But after the first day back I noticed there were no crossing guards on a very busy intersection. I was really nervous that someone was going to get run over. So after lots of frustrating phone calls my neighbors and I called the news. They ran our story that night!  And eureka!!  The next day, 2 crossing guards!

That’s right. I’m Ashley Bradley, concerned parent. 😜

We had an end of the week ice cream party in our neighborhood, which I couldn’t make because of work but luckily my sweet nanny took the girls. We have had so many young kids moving into our area so it’s really great to get them all together. 

Then that night I helped host a 3rd grade back to school party from last years school auction. We held it at a local dance club that does a night that’s kids only. I think it went great and the kids (and parents) all had fun!

So after all of that I was ready for a mom’s only night out on Saturday. We had a yummy kid free dinner, good wine and uninterrupted conversation. What a treat!!

Hope everyone had a great week too!

Seriously!  What would you choose???  I could easily lose the pajamas (I’m a nightgown girl) and I could probably lose the chocolate, leggings, tea (I’m assuming hot not iced). But the rest?  No way!   

Anyways, after the conference was over Brett and the girls came down to spend a couple of days. We went to the JW Marriott, because we had already been there before and knew it would be a fun & easy few days.  Check in was a bit crazy (they said 800 people checked out and 800 more checked in all in the same day) but we got our room pretty quickly and the girls wanted to go straight to the water park. 

View from our room over looking the water park. 

We had plans to go do some other things in town but the girls never wanted to leave the hotel!  Which was actually kind of nice. So we just played in the water and I went on about 700 rides. Avery wanted me to go on the scary ones with her (which meant a 6 story climb every time) and Hayden wanted me to ride the tubes with her (which was a 4 story climb with a tube on my back). I was worn out!  But we had a great time!

The last night we did s’mores and it was the perfect end to a great trip. They are already asking when we can go back!
