Old Friends

There is something about hanging out with old friends. You can pick up right where you left off, you can let little kids tear the house apart and not get (overly) stressed, and you can sit up and talk as if you were back in college and didn't have to get up in the morning with your kids! Dan, Jamie and Norah came to visit from Arizona this past week and Tracy brought Casey up for daytime visits. The kids got along great, napped at about the same time and went to bed around the same time which was so nice. Cate and Norah became thick as thieves and although Norah left yesterday, Cate is still asking for her.

First day hanging out at the playground

Eating like big kids at their own table

A visit to the mall when the weekend turned really hot!

"Kidtown" lots of slides and different play rooms. Dan and Jamie took Cate along with them while I took Timmy to the doctor. Cate, Norah and Casey wore themselves out!

Dancing with a baby

New friends. The girls did surprisingly well sharing and playing together. They took turns and looked out for each other.

It looks like Timmy is relaxing with a cigar at the water table! He later started climbing in and sticking his face in the water. He is such a boy.

We broke out the sprinkler hose, but Casey was the only one brave enough to run through. The girls were acting like...girls.

This picture cracks me up because it looks like Casey is explaining something profound to Timmy and in the background, you can see Cate and Norah at the table. They've had enough of all this rough playing.

Here...let me fix your hat for you....

It was completely covering Norah's face which Cate found hilarious.

Believe it or not, one of the best "roommate" shots. This was after a crazy meal with the kids and lots of running around and dancing. Oh and it was about 95 degrees outside and really humid.

It was wild with so many little ones in our tiny house, but we had such a great time!
