Play Date With Maggie

I love to listen to little girls playing. Today we had Maggie over for a play date. They played school and with their babies. One of the things I heard, " Mason is in time out for punching and biting." It makes me laugh but also wonders where they come up with these things. As I looked up Brooke had her baby down her shirt with the head sticking out. I realized she was pretending she had one of those bands on to carry a baby. Kids are more observant than we give them credit. They had a great time and played well together.

We made cookies or I should say, I made cookies because when it was time to start the cookies they didn't want to stop playing long enough to help. But they sure did enjoy eating them.

I bought the girls a new cart for some of their art stuff. I was tired of the paper, crayons, pencils and markers ending up everywhere. Presley was most excited that the cart had wheels and she could roll it next to the table. It's the little things that matter.

Christmas Play Date

We had a play date with Aleck and Ella. The girls love to watch over Ella, sometimes a little too much. Brooke follows her every move and loves to pick her up. It was a little annoying until the newness wore off. Then they went off to play with Aleck and left Ella alone. I got some great pictures of all of them in front of the Christmas tree. Aleck loves to dress up and I meant to show him the spiderman costume and forgot. I think he prefers the princess outfit when he is at our house. And of course Brooke had to be the super hero, too funny how it all works out when children get together and play. It was a great day and I had forgotten how much fun we use to have with our play dates before the girls started going to school every day. The girls were even more excited when I told them they would be going over to Aleck's house after nap time. Thanks Brenda for letting me get my grocery shopping done. It means a lot to me.
