Our Fun Weekend

Last weekend I decided that I wanted to have a fun time with my son (not that we don't normally, but I wanted it to be extra fun). This day also just happened to be the day Corey turned 16 months (could it be so?) One of the mommies on the message board I posted on had 3 great ideas that she was going to be doing with her son, so I stole them!!! Thanks again Rachael!!!!

First on the list was edible play dough, which was really good!!! I made it using the following ingredients:

Corey then enjoyed his time with the playdough:


As Corey was playing with the dough I started getting ready for the next activity, water play, which was needed after that sticky stuff!!!! I filled 6 tubs with warm water, bubbles, and bath toys. I then put Corey in a swim diaper and we went outside to play:

Once Corey got sick of playing with the tubs I dumped all the water, which was still warm, into his pool. Turns out he had pooped in his diaper so he went into the pool naked after being rinsed off. Good thing we live in the country!!!

When Corey was sick of the pool he decided he wanted to ride around on his Power Wheels in his birthday suit:

While Corey took a 2 hour nap I set up a fort/maze in the living room with different stations. One station had a pack-n-play with all his cars in it, one had his legos, and one his couch/bed with books on it:



Needless to say Corey and I fell asleep on the couch at 6:30, I think I need to do that more often :)

A DeRosier Outing

Last Sunday some DeRosier's ventured out into the world to enjoy Kidz Dayz in Port Orange. It was a fund day!!! We first enjoyed lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. After we purchased our tickets we found out that Corey is 3 inches too short for all the little kiddie rides, so the girls enjoyed the tickets.

First, was the carousel, which Alyssa was terrified of at first, but relaxed by the end of the ride. Alex (aka roller coaster lover) was, dare I say, a little bored with this ride, I think...



Corey enjoyed be passed from arm to arm between mine and Aunt Molly's, but he eventually wanted down to run. We had to be careful, because on a lot of the rides, the only think blocking the machinery was a piece of cloth that Corey could easily bypass.


When we left the carnival we headed to Marble Slab Creamery and enjoyed some yummy ice cream. Alex was quite surprised by how good hers tasted!!!
Alyssa was not :)
Corey thoroughly enjoyed his sweet cream ice cream



So much so that I could not keep him in his shirt on the way home.

Nickelodeon Hotel (March 7-8)

A couple weeks ago we decided to get away and took advantage of Nickelodeon Hotel's Floridian discount!!! Chris, Corey, and I got there around noon with the intention of spending some time at Universal Studios, but we decided to hang out at the hotel instead. So, we ate some lunch:

Corey explored the room and found the speaker phone button on the room phone. When Aunt Sheryl got there she gave me the awesome idea to UNPLUG the phone.
Then we decided to explore. Corey LOVED the walkways with statues of cartoon characters, and he loved waving *hi* to all the kids who passed.
We went for a dip in the pool while waiting for OP and Sheryl to arrive. Corey was content to sit and watch everyone swim.
Corey and Daddy enjoyed New Moon and Nick Jr.after taking a swim.
When OP and Sheryl got into town we went to the food court for dinner. Corey enjoyed his pizza and milk.
OP really loved the bunk beds, yes he actually slept in them!!!
The next day we spent the day at the pool. Corey liked the kids area, but liked watching people in the big pool better.


Aunt Sheryl ran Corey through the water and he didn't really care for it.But it wasn't anything a pacifier and Daddy couldn't solve!!!
