playdating - blogger style.


did you know there is a crazy amount of bloggers here in the seattle area?  true story.  and last friday p-ray & i got to get out of the south-sound & meet up with a bunch of them up at kelsey creek farm.

per the uge, it was a blasty-blast.  don't judge the day by parker's face in this picture.  he's just mad because i interrupted his play time for a picture.  he becomes more & more like his dad everyday.

here's the cast:



after some time at the playground we took a walk around the farm to see the animals.  i don't know if you know this about me, but animals are kinda a big deal... to me.  and now you know.


after twenty minutes of pointing the animals out to parker & trying to explain to him that he should be really really excited too, we headed to the grass for some snacks.  did i mention we got lucky & had amazing weather?  seriously, it was perfect... rain really woulda messed things up.  so seattle, i owe ya one.  no wait, i don't.  it's may & that was how it should be... ok, we can still be friends.


after a lunch of cheez-its, frosted animal crackers, & pretzels {ok, that was just me} we headed back for more playground time.   parker totally felt like one of the big kids since he got to hang around the stumpy-thing & look cool.  he pretended to be really into it so no one would notice he was actually stuck there.  someday he'll walk... i think.


anywho... it really was a good time.  we got to meet a bunch of these guys for the first time & i hope we do it again soon.  it's so fun to get together with people who you already "know" & have lots & lots to talk about.  seriously, when bloggers get together, we have a lot to say.

in other news, i have kinda decided to be a bit more relaxed with my blogging.  in other words, parker has been waking up at seven am lately & that doesn't work too well for my night-owl blogging tendencies.  so i've been opting for my bed around eleven o'clock instead of my computer til one am.  and honestly?  i have reconnected with my bed... eight hours of sleep is gooooooood.

and guess what?  a good life on facebook now has 197 fans!  :::cheers & applause:::  you should check out the facebook page for additional pictures & post-reminders & also because i will do a happy dance when we reach 200... mmm, k?

and lastly {i promise}  today is the last day to vote for us to be in the top 25 baby journals on circle of moms.  we are hanging in there around number 13 but it'd be pretty sweet to get a little boost down the finish line.  would ya mind clicking the pretty little button & giving us the thumbs up?  i'll be your best friend.  virtually.


thanks for all your votes guys... i'm sending you big virtual hugs, i swear.

  13. I love reading these posts and seeing some of my fav bloggers all together. Seriously, why does everyone live in the Seatle area? Can some of you come live by me in Houston? You'd like it...it's hot here, and it hasn't rained in like, months. Think about it.
