Playing at Gymboree | Mommy and Me Monday (The 91st ed).

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.

The birthday party that we had been counting down to all week was finally here.  The girls were so very excited.  Despite being two of the oldest kids there, they had a great time.

In fact, we had to remind them to allow other kids to have a turn.

I spent most of the time snapping pictures of the girls doing down the slide and then flying through the air at the bottom with daddy.

And, there she went.

They decided to let some of the other kids play, too, so they took a turn on this see-saw-esque horse for two.

I was just so amazed and in awe of these two girls.  They were always by each other’s side, cheering the other sister on, holding her hand, and playing together.  I just love that they have such a special relationship and love each other so much.

Not to be left out, mommy did get one flying session in with the girls. Lifting them up is one thing, but flying them through the air?  It’s completely another challenge when pregnant with their baby sister, too.  Oh, and add in having a hard time breathing?  Yeah, only one time for mommy’s flying session.

*Honest time here…are we getting burned out with mommy and me Monday, or just forgetting to get a shot?  Do I keep doing it?  Or is it time to move on?

Mommy and Me Monday at Really, Are You Serious?

**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.**

I try to make sure and visit all of you and leave some comment love.  Please spread the love!  And, I never mind the comments, either:)

  1. So fun! Though I’m not even pregnant now and I wouldn’t be able to fly my kids through the air like that, either.

    I know I’ve yet to participate in Mommy and Me Monday, but I really do love seeing your shots every week. It’s a great meme, in my opinion.

    1. Maybe one day you will! Thanks for adding your opinion!

  2. Looks like it was a ton of fun! We don’t have a Gymboree near us, but we have a few places similar to this.

    As far as the meme goes…if it is beginning to be “work” for you, then it might be time to move on. I love participating weekly but I know how something that turned out to be for fun can turn into more than that. Do what is best for you!

    1. Yeah, there are a ton of similar places like that here, too!

      No, it’s not work. I enjoy doing it, but I wondered if everybody else does. We went form like 25-30 entries to like 5-8!

  3. This a tough one. We finally had a family pic done since #4 arrived but keeping all in one spot with me in the shot? Hmmm… sounds like a challenge to me. I’ll give it a shot though.
    Hang in there brave mama!

    1. Bummer..I think your site is down:(

      It doesn’t have to be all four! I use whatever kid will cooperate! And, it doesn’t have to be posed, either. Just getting you in the shot with your kiddos! I hope you can join in next week!

  4. awwwwww…how fun! I can tell they were having a blast!

    Do what’s best pretty Momma!

    1. It was fun. I always enjoy watching them have a good time.

  5. looks fun. I still have not found a Gymboree which would have a free play time.
    And I just cannot commit to a class 🙁

    1. Oh, I hear you on committing. I’m not sure if this one has a free play or not. You would think they would do something like that on the weekend!

      So glad you joined in this week.

  6. What a fun time! Ya’ll are all too cute! And that is way cool how they stick together like they do…such sweet little girlies. You must be so proud.

    I love seeing the pictures of you and the girls. Keep up the monday posts as long as you are enjoyng doing them.

    1. They are funny, aren’t they? Sometimes I think they do things just to pose for me!

    1. It really is awesome seeing them play together so well.

  8. Grammy Lura says:

    Do I get to vote on the Mom and Me decision??? If I do, my vote is yes… continue with it. I always love your Mom and me pictures. That way I get to see all 31/2 darling girls that are in your family…. not just the wee ones.

    1. Yes, you sure do…and just so you know, you could join in, too! You do pictures of you with your kiddos almost every week!

  9. What a wonderful place. We’ve never been to a gymboree play time before. I’ll have to look into that

    1. The girls did have a good time. We’ve never gone to a place like this when we had to pay, though:)

  10. Sure looks like they had fun!

    As far as M&M goes, it is just hard for me to get in the picture. 😉 I still think it is a great idea!

    1. They sure did!

      You are pretty good about it! And, you have a couple boys that could probably snap some pictures, too…if you wanted to:)

      Thanks for the feedback.

  11. Oh my goodness, so fun! And yay for you for helping them fly while pregant. he he! 😀

    I just don’t get in the pics much these days. I’m ALWAYS on the other side of the camera. Geez. Maybe take a break for the holidays and then start back up again? Or even after baby is born? Anyway, just ideas… I think it’s a great meme. 🙂

    1. I only did it one time…these girls are getting heavy!

      You could almost hand your camera off to your oldest…or your phone!

      Thanks for the feedback.

  12. Looks like they had lots of fun at the party! Brings back memories, Isabella went to Gymboree when she was little. Maybe because I’ve been gone but don’t end it just yet!!!! Maybe once a month? and your new little one will want to be part of mommy and me 🙂

    1. I’d love to join in, but I don’t post pics of my kids online.

      1. You could get creative….if you wanted to. Feet, shadows, hands, heads in hats, etc. But, I understand if you can’t/don’t.

        1. If that’s ok to do that! It seemed everyone posted pics of themselves, faces and all! I didn’t want to stick out. But if it’s ok to do that, then awesome!

    2. Just wanted to make sure people are still interested…I won’t stop!

  13. I love Mommy & Me Monday and have an entire blog dedicated to just pictures of me with my kids…I tried to do a 365 out of it two years ago but…yeah, well, we all know that goes! 🙂
    I still try and do it as often as I can though – I’d hate to see it go away – even though I haven’t been posting here for ages –

    1. I’m glad you came back…I’ll keep going. But, I know I can’t do 365:)

  14. dude i want to fly like that!! think they make big people tunnels to launch from?

  15. I like Mommy and Me Monday because I get to see pics of you BUT, I have an anon blog so can never play along 🙁

    1. I mentioned it above, but you could get creative and do shadows, hands, feet or something like that…or even close ups of eyes? Just an idea. But, I’m glad you come by to read.

    1. We only go when other people pay for birthday parties…but it was a lot of fun.
