Beach getaway and the Grand Opening!!

It has been a few weeks since my last post...I was slacking again! But honestly we have just been too tired to do much of anything else! You havent missed a whole lot, because much hasnt been going on that didnt involve the daycare. So Ill do a catch up session, and hopefully things will settle down soon and we can get on a better schedule!!!
First of all a couple weeks ago we got our opening date pushed back for a second time, and we found ourselves waiting on other people to come do their job so we could finish ours. So since we had free time we took a (much needed) trip to wilmington!! We were completely lazy and hung out at our house for a whole day and watched movies. Then the next morning we went to the beach!!! When we got back for lunch my amazing husband made this. I swear it was THE BEST THING I EVER ATE!! It was amazing. He really spoils me with awesome food. ( and its so cool looking, had to put it first!)



mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

My view, being lazy at the beach. LOVE it, it was so nice! And if you look close that is Derek and Jordan playing in the water!

They found this wandering beach ball that blew way down the beach. Jordan had a blast with it!

Jordans beach pose! haha so goofy!

She loves the beach, dont know where she gets it from :)


This is the final product pictures of the daycare!! We are soooooooooo excited!!!

I swept up a million of these tiny footprints from my "helper" haha. Ill miss those tiny feet one day!

Jordan made a princess dress out of a trashbag. Nice to know she isnt too high maintence!

So here is the final baby room!!!!

Fooseball table!!! & Futon behind it!

Big kids room! Games and movies!

Pool table!!!, which we may be switching for an airhockey table...8 year olds arent that great at pool! lol

Our awesome little bathroom! Derek built the steps and changing table!!!! It is so beautiful!! He is so handy

Putting green!!!! For our pro-golfers-to-be! Cant have a place in "golf capital, NC" without a putting green!

Eating area!! Love our little picnic tables and benches!!!

Our big slide, all the kids love it! Jordan pretends its a princess castle!

Tea party table, dress up and lots of little games and toys!!

This was from our Open House! Derek just amazes me with his talents! This is so cool! Its our little logo guy! Wow, fancy...and tasty too! (just needed some nutella! ha)

Our open house! We had a great turn out and I am so thankful for the people that came!!! (and a special thanks to Emily Woodward!! She helped me SOOO much with getting the word out!!! Amazing lady!

Another one of dereks projects! He added the fridge to this little kitchen!!! Awesome job, once again! :)

Our rock climbing wall!!! We had a lot of fun building this! Jordan even helped me sew the cover for the crash pad! She is so excited about the daycare! She shows everyone her rock climbing skills!!!!

The ball pit me and derek made!!! We are getting pretty crafty!!! We made that little magnetic chalk board too!!!! 

This is Jordan, on a typical day at the daycare now since it has opened. She almost always has some outfit on and all the accessories she can find! She is such a girlie girl!

Ben!!! (Jordans cute little cousin) he has fallen in love with dressing like this firefighter. Every time he comes its Ben the fire fighter and princess Jordan! They are so cute!!

Clark and Carson!! (the other cousins!) They are such sweet little boys! I love having them! Cant believe how big they are already! Time flies! Soon they will be playing dress up with Jordan and Ben!

We are so excited about Drop Zone Kids!!! We cant wait to really get out there and everyone know us!!! We have had such a great response from the people who have come in so far!!! Now we just have to wait for our advertising to pay off and word of mouth to spread!! Cant wait!! :)
