Toy bath!!

To help fight the running nose germs. I try to clean the toys that Owen and his friends play with. With his birthday party coming up I thought today was a perfect day to give his toys a bath. To get ready I explain to Owen that we are giving his toys a bath to get them clean just like when we give him a bath. First up are his building blocks. I fill the sink with hot water and add bleach. I want Owen to think he is helping me out. So I grab a large plastic blow and add some water and dish soap, I also give him a wooden spoon. We count together 3 blocks and put them in his bowl. I dump the rest in the sink. We both stir the blocks in the water to make sure the get clean. And of course making sound effects. Singing and sound effects always make cleaning fun to a 2 year old. I let the blocks in the sink soak to make sure all the little germs are killed.
Toy cars are next. We are off to find them .

Owen is going to be 2!!!

My little guy is going to be 2!! Wow time is going by way to fast. Today I finished his invitations, with Owens help. :-) Emily also helped out. I have a lot planed for the party. I will keep you updated. Hope you are having a great day!

A Heathy frozen treat

Like many people I know I am totally addicted to pinterst!! I found a pin for frozen yogurt dots. Oh man are they good. They are so easy to make. All you need is yogurt, plastic sandwich bag, cookie sheet, and a freezer. Fill a sandwich Baggie with your choice of yogurt. Cut the corner off. The amount of the corner you cut off will determine the size of the dot. Then fill the cookie sheet with dots. Pop it in the freezer and in about a hour you are done! Owen loved them, he ate his so fast by the time I was able to take a picture there was only one left in his bowl.
Do you have a heathy snack?

Water play!!

Loving The fact that we live in San Diego today. The weather is perfect. I pulled out the kiddie pool and sunscreen. Time for water play!! This was Emily's 1st time the pool. She loved it. Can't wait for the summer! Hope you had a good day.
What are you looking forward to this summer?

My little helper

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been so long. I hope you had a great week. One of many things we did this week was some house cleaning. Fun right? Well I decided that this would be the perfect time to teach Owen about helping out. I filled a spray bottle with a little bit of water and gave it to Owen. I also gave him a wash cloth. I showed him how to spray with water and wipe the widow with the wash cloth. He gave me a big smile and went to work. He loved it! I was able to clean the kitchen! My little boy is getting to be so big! Hopefully he will keep thinking house work is fun and always want to be mommy's little helper.
Do your kids like to help with cleaning? What do they like to do?

Home Again

We made it back home! What a great trip. Everyone had a great time.
Owen loved the desert, riding his bike, playing in the dirt, and playing
with his new friends. Dave was able to get a couple of good rides in. I
was even able to ride my bike. It's has been over 2 years since I have
been on the bike, before kids lol. Emily did great, the sounds of the
bikes did not scare her at all. And she was able to take naps in her
favorite place in someone's arms.
Now I have a lot to clean up. The rain has stopped here, so we were able
to unpack the trailer and now it is time to clean. I also need to look at all
the pictures I took, 148. I will post some hopefully later today. I need
to wait for their nap time.

I hope every one had a great weekend.
