We Love Rita's

April 10, 2011

Sprinkles BLOG
FINALLY.... we had weather warm enough that we did not have to bundle up in our winter coats to go outside. After Reagan took her nap, I promised the kids that we would go to the playground so they could run around and burn off some energy and get some much needed fresh air. I also sweetened the adventure by promising a stop at Rita's Italian Ice on the way home fo the first Italian Ice or Gelati of the season.

First Bite of Gelati BLOG
Here is Reagan going in for her first taste and Sarah so proudly holding up her Gelati covered in multi-colored sprinkles.....HER FAVORITE! Can you tell by the big smile on her face how happy she was to be there?

Just one more bite BLOG
Looks like we have another Rita's fan on our hands. Reagan all but tackled Nick for his cone while I was at the conter waiting for ours. She shared with me.

Bring me some SUN BLOG
Early in the morning while her sister and brother were sleeping, Reagan made a call to the weatherman to put in a request for some SPRING WEATHER. Our girl must have some clout, because he certainly delivered:)

It has been a beautiful weekend and tomorrow we are going to hit 80 Degrees! I am SO EXCITED.... we might be able to put away those winter clothes once and for all.

Hopefully everyone is also enjoying their weekend. I will post the pictures from the park for Black and White Wednesday. Not only did Reagan experience her first Italian Ice, she also had her first ride on the swing.
More to come soon!
~Happy Sunday~

That sounds like the perfect day to me...although I hate to share my icecream:) I love thier outfits and Reagan's outfit in the last pictures...Kya has the same one sitting in her closet waiting for spring to come here!! So at least I see how cute she will look. Hope you have a great day!

adorable! not sure what happened with our weathermen...yesterday was forecasted to be 78...it never got above 54 - not kidding, and today's high is supposed to be 78 again. It is almost three and the sun has finally come out. The temp is climbing a little, but not sure we'll make it that high. so ready for non-stop warmth.

Jodee said...

Hooray for spring! Our Dairy Sweet just opened too but it was raining the first night we went! It looks like Reagan enjoyed every bite! Cute pictures!

Gail said...

Wish we had a Rita's here...we do not! I love Sarah's expression when she's holding her Gelati...yum!

Adorable post and pics, Lisa. Please thank miss Reagan for putting her request in for Spring weather, it sure worked!!!

I LOVE Reagan's pretty dress, so Spring-y! Enjoy these times with your sweethearts.

Love Letters To China said...

Somehow I knew she was going to enjoy the gelati! We used to have a Rita's down here but they just closed shop not too long ago. It's unfortunate because they really had great Italian ice.

Can't wait to see the park pictures. Love the ones of Reagan in your kitchen....and those piggies!!!

We need to have Reagan make a call every day! It is beautiful here. Love the post, perfect for Spring. I snitched a photo :)

the meaklims said...

I'm in love with Rita's too - just the look of it is enough! And your darling girl with her first ice-cream experience. She's lovin' it!

Mimi said...

Aw, sweet pictures.
Reagan's powers reach far; we had a magnificent weekend here too!I treached 17 (about 63). which is really good for Ireland! So, thank you Reagan, and can you ask your weatherman friend to repeat this over the Easter break please?
Sarah does look mighty pleased and proud, and Nick and Reagan are just priceless, he's so good with her, isn't he?

Bethany @ Our 4 Sons Plus 1...Super Cute Girly Girl said...

So sweet!! We celebrate the arrival of spring with ice cream too, but we have to wait just a bit longer! :)

MarieElizabeth said...

Love Rita's! It was 84 here today, and while it's just a hint of things to come, it was welcomed today.

Casey said...

That picture cracks me up!!! The girl is GOING for her ice cream!! love it! Nick is such a sweet helper too.

And Sarah is looking SO grown up these days!! Maybe it's b/c she is sitting next to the baby, but she looks like a big girl. Where does time go??

We went for ice cream today too!! Love spring.

Dita said...

Such great shots of your lovies....I can see Miss Reagan is going to be a Rita's junkie too!
Yes, I agree....1st Rita's is 1st day the warm weather is officially ON ITS WAY! We went to Rita's too this weekend too after opening day and the only one tackling anyone's ice cream was ME since I'm on a diet! The kids hit their goodies from me and I had to chase them down for a taste!


Can't wait to see the BW Park post of your wonderful weekend!

Your girls could not be any cuter! And what a great big brother Nick is for sharing his ice cream, although it looks like he didn't have much choice in the matter, ha ha.
