Mommy and Me Monday-The 18th Edition

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. I MAY EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES.

It’s time again for Mommy and Me Monday. Pop out from behind that camera and capture yourself in action with your kids.  Check out the inaugural Mommy and Me Monday for more information.

***Make sure you read below for a new idea for next week!***

“The Pit” brought me back to my gymnastics days. 

(No, I was never very good at it.  Yes, it was fun.)

“The Pit” it loaded full of very squishy foam squares that you jump, bounce, slide and swing into.  When I used it, it was for practicing gymnastics moves.

This weekend, it was all about the fun.  We (well, the girls) were invited to a friend’s birthday party, and we were able to tag along. 

All four of us had a great time jumping into “The Pit”, jumping as high as we could on the trampoline, balancing on the balance beam and more.

I think the girls enjoyed “The Pit” the best.  For some reason, those big, foamy cubes were the perfect projectiles…

…what can I say, I guess I enjoyed throwing them a little, too.  (But, in my defense, they always started it!)

***I’m thinking next week, let’s try something new.   Let’s do a theme for our pictures.  I know sometimes we are taking the same picture over and over (which is great), but let’s see how this works.  Next week, let’s do a picture, featuring you and your kiddo(s) of course, promoting safe sun protection and skin cancer awareness; ideas include how you “play safe in the sun”, wearing hats, sunglasses, putting on sunscreen, playing the shade, etc.  And, hopefully there will be a prize/giveaway involved, too…that’s still in the works.  So, you’ve got a week to get that Mommy and Me picture practicing safe sun protection.  Don’t worry, if you don’t get that picture, you can still participate, we’re just trying something new here!****

**There really is only one requirement here, a picture of you and your baby or babies; your children, your “baby” (ie significant other) or even your fur babies.  If your picture doesn’t feature you (meaning you must be in the picture), I will have to delete your link.  It’s not fair to the others that follow the rules.**

  1. Love the big blue foamy things!! Pics are great. I’m super excited about the “theme” for next week!! It’ll be fun to try to switch things up. I might have to go back to an old school picture of Mia and I for this week. She’s been sick all weekend so no pics for us this week!

  2. I love looking at your pictures with you playing in that foamy pit. It’s really fun to be a kid right, you get to play in that playpen. Now, mommy can play too. Great bonding moments with you and your daughter.

  3. Looks like you guys were having a blast! I wish I could find one of those places by me!!
    I’m sorry I do’t participate in these things.. I really can’t stand taking pictures of me. I am the opposite of photogenic:)
