Playdate At The Cottage

Playdate at the Cottage

"Welcome to the Cottage!" we said with a cheer,
as Jack and I saw our friends gathering near.

We greeted them with hellos, hugs,and grins,
and then it was time for the fun to begin!

Down to the new playroom which is a bit small,
but that didn't stop the fun that would be had by all.

Between balls and cars and books and toys,
we knew the kids were happy from all their noise.

With Patterson, Sophia, Meg, Miller, Ansley, and Caroline too,
there was no way host Jack would be turning blue.

We dined on pizza, fruit, and apple juice,
and then it was back to the playroom to turn the tots loose.

Two hours later and one gigantic mess,
it was time for the little ones to take an afternoon rest.

We walked our friends to the door and waved our goodbyes,
while Jack headed upstairs for ZZZZZZ's and lullabies.

Happy Birthday Wesley Kate


We celebrated Wesley Kate's First Birthday on Saturday! The birthday girl hosted an adorable Mad Hatters Tea Party. Karen had the place decorated just darling with hats and tea pots all around in a very lively color palette. Although Jack didn't seem to notice the sweet theme, he did notice all of the toys and his many friends. He played so hard all afternoon that he actually crashed in the car on the way home...so unlike J to sleep in the car (not even on road trips!). Thank you to the Harris' and to precious Wesley Kate for letting us celebrate with you. Have fun being one...Jack says, 'you're gonna love it!'.




Messy faced Wesley Kate loved her strawberry smash cake and the pink balloon that hung from the back of her high chair!


The whole "Mad Hatting" family. Wesley Kate took her hat off right before I got the picture--too bad.
Karen made the hats...aren't they cute?



Patterson and Jack debate over which hat to wear during the party.
J eventually chose green only to leave it on for about 2 seconds.

Just Jack and the girls in his favorite spot--the BALL PIT!
