Playdate with the Rudas

We went over to the Ruda house for lunch and some play time a while back. Tracey Ruda is the friend that watched Samantha for me while I worked last year. She is also the one that had her baby 3 months early and he weighed just over 1 pound when he was born. We haven't seen them in SEVERAL months, so I was excited to go see Zach and chat with Tracey. Samantha, Marc, & Zach had a good time playing together. :)One of the favorites was an inflatable ball pit that Zach had gotten for Christmas. Samantha enjoyed crawling in and "fow"ing all the balls out. :) (Check out the static in this girl's hair!!)
Marc decided he wanted to join in on the photo op....(Silly kiddos!!)
and then Zach joined in. :)
We all had a great time. I enjoyed catching up with Tracey and all the kids had fun playing together. Marc really enjoyed seeing Tracey (She was his 3's preschool teacher and he adores her!). Thanks for having us over Tracey, we all had a lot of fun!! :)

Naughty!

The other day, Marc III and I were in the kitchen after dinner making some brownies for dessert. Samantha hadn't finished her dinner yet so she was still sitting at the table. I heard her banging her plate on the table. When I turned around I saw that she had dumped her plate of food on the floor. Needless to say, she got in trouble. She got her first time out. She was not happy about it either! ;)Surprisingly enough, she only tried to get up once. I walked her back over to the step and told her that she couldn't get up yet since she had been naughty. She started crying all over again.
I decided that since she dumped most of her food on the floor, that she wasn't going to get anything "new or extra". She ate the little bit that fell on the table and in her lap, and that was it.
I know....mean Mommy! ;)
