Staycation Day 2...

We really didn't have a plan for staycation day 2 so it was a little random.  After a lazy morning, we got dressed and headed to Learning Express Toy Store.  Anna Lauren got a rainbow loom for birthday and just a couple weeks ago figured out how to  make the bracelets on her own...she LOVES it now and makes bracelets, bracelets, and more bracelets.  Therefore...she needed some more bands, which is why we went to Learning Express.  And not to mention, it's just a fun store for the kids to play.

While Cooper napped, Nanna and I took Anna Lauren on a very unsuccessful shopping trip for some new school clothes.  Until this summer, Anna Lauren has only wanted to wear dresses...someone said her "shorts" under her dresses are panties and so now she doesn't want to wear dresses, which is all she has in her closet.  We didn't have much luck finding anything she liked or that fit right...we'll have to try another day.


Thanks to Nanna, her rainbow loom box has been refilled!


So proud of her new bands and her "organized" box...she has just a little of her mother in her!


As soon as Anna Lauren saw the firework stand go up, she started begging for pixie wands (sparklers).  We told her we would buy her some the day after the 4th of the July because she could get more for her money.  So...Daddy got her many pixie wands on Friday, and they could not even wait until dark to light them.  And yes, every kid needs to play in mom's t-shirt and just a diaper from time to time!






A little meltdown was had...the trampoline broke and it broke Anna Lauren's heart.  She really does jump on it almost every day...Matt and I are going to try to get her another one...not sure we can hold her off until Christmas.


They saved the "best" sparklers until it got dark...so after bath time, we headed out to do a few more sparklers.





It was another "fun" day...this staycation thing isn't such a bad idea!
