Gigi's and Adventure Jakes

We went over to Gigi and Pops on Sunday and the kids swam alot that day. Here are some pictures...







This week has been busy. I am spending the week as a stay at home mom, which, as I have mentioned before, is absolutely tiring and it wears me out! Especially with an 8 and a 5 year old. We have had good days and bad. It's frustrating to constantly say the same things over and over (and over and over). But, overall, it's been good. Monday, I took the kids to the DMV (where we waited all of 15 minutes because the line was 3 hours long) and then to the social security administration office. We went back to the DMV on Tuesday (earlier this time) and so now, I am legally and officially Jenna R. Whitehead. My husband seems very happy about this. :-) The kids did pretty well those days, until we got to my mom's yesterday to go to see Despicable Me, and Sophia decided she wanted to act despicable herself. She spend last night in her room because she didn't behave all day long. Oy.

Today, I took the kids to the dentist - NO CAVITIES! Good news! Then, I found a coupon for a place called Amazing Jakes and decided to take the kids. I have to say, this place isn't exactly the cheapest place, but it is WORTH YOUR MONEY. To me, Chuck E. Cheeses is expensive and you don't really get your money's worth. There are other places out there which make you pay for food, then each game or activity seperately. This place, for $14.99 per kid, you get a HUGE buffet of pizza, salad, pasta, soup, potatoes, and desert (which you can go through all day the whole day if you wanted to) and all the rides you can ride for 3 hours, plus $5 for the ticket games. (and their games are 35-50 cents each so it can last for a while!) The people there were wonderfully friendly, it was clean, and there was TONS of stuff you can do. They had mini golf, laser tag, bumper cars, go-karts, a train, an airplane ride, and a carasel (spelling?). The kids had an ABSOLUTE blast. I probably wouldn't suggest this place on a weekend, because the lines were just a little long, but it really was only for the go-karts and bumper cars. I hardly ever leave a place thinking I got my money's worth (I still don't think Hurricane Harbor was worth it) but I would have no problem paying for that again. On Thursdays, kids eat free and they take the price of a kids' buffet off the unlimited ride package. Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
