Play dates and Playroom!
So I have finally after 3 years found a mommy/kids group that I love! For the past two weeks we have been so busy and out and about on the town meeting new moms and their little ones. Here are some pics...
Here is Jungle Jim. He is a bug guy and travels all over TX showing off his bugs and reptiles. The boys thought it was pretty cool but I won't lie...the snakes made me very nervous! LOL!
The show was in the library which has become one of our favorite places to go! After the show we went down to the kids room where they had a jeep for the kids to crawl in and play. The boys loved it!
The next play date was at our favorite park! It was hot (now that is an understatement!) but at least the park is shady. It was another fun morning for The Kirchoff 3!
And for our last outing (with pictures) we went swimming at our friend's Jessica and Austin's local neighborhood pool. The pool was gorgeous, the weather was perfect for swimming (hot) and Jessica was so nice and had yummy healthy snacks, juice and tea. We got to meet a couple of new moms and had such a great time that we didn't even notice by the time we left it was way past the boys naptime. Needless to say, Asher fell asleep on the way home and continued to sleep for almost 3 hours! Now that's a great day! hehe!
And last but not least, here are pictures of our new playroom! I say new because this room has been so many things since we moved in to this house almost 5 years ago. First it was a media room with oversize leather couches and a big screen with surround sound. Then after the kids came we never used it and Cam wanted to move his office back home to be around more so it became his office. Then he found it almost impossible to work at home mostly because he never wanted to actually work that it became an empty room for about a year. The boys were not very good with the stairs so we just never went up there. Finally about a month ago I decided that I wanted a playroom/school room. So I got busy cleaning it up, buying storage for toys and then school things for the walls. Everyday after the boys wake up from their nap we go upstairs and work on different learning things for an hour. I also put a TV up there with cable and the rocker that was in the nursery.
The door in the back leads to another bedroom which is a guest room right now (and a huge mess) but it will eventually be a nursery for our next child (hopefully arriving sometime in 2011 :)).

Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.
So yesterday was Fat Tuesday and while we were not in the Big Easy celebrating I brought a little of New Orleans to Georgetown. I made beignets and they were amazing!!!! For those who don't know what they are they are a french doughnut. Cameron and I ate probably about 10 and then felt horrible all night but it was totally worth it.
Today is Ash Wednesday. Cameron, the boys and I will be going to church this evening at 5 to get our ashes. That should be interesting considering the boys are not great in church. Oh well, what can you do. Here are some pictures of past Ash Wednesdays.
Aiden's 1st
Asher's 1st and Aiden's 3rd (I didn't take a picture of Aiden's second for some reason)
Ash and my Dad
And as for Lent, I decided to give up fast food and cussing. After Aiden was born I quit eating fast food and it was going so well! Since Asher has been born the convenince of it kept drawing me in. Now I usually eat it twice a week which I hate. So I am hoping after this 40 days I am back on the right track. As for the cussing...well I find myself throwing around a few words that I shouldn't a little too often. I don't want my boys going to school with a potty mouth so something has to be done about that! LOL! Cameron is giving up sweets, fast food and alcohol for Lent! I am so proud of him! He did that same thing last year and was great.
As for the rest of the day I am very excited to be going to a new playdate this morning. I found it on meetups.com and I am praying that we like it. We have joined 2 other playdates before but didn't really like either of them so I am hoping this one works out!
