Play Date Central

This weekend the girls and I had 2 very fun play dates. On Saturday, we went over to Auntie Sara's house to play with Jakie and Elena. Abby gets especially excited for the play dates because the other kids have such great toys (as compared to the billion toys that circulate through all the rooms of our house)! At Jakie's house, the girls really enjoy the plastic slide in the basement and the magnet board. They also had quite a fun time playing with all the great puzzles. After some chalk playing outside, the girls had some lunch and a little more playing before the long ride home.

On Sunday, we loaded up and headed to Eagan to play with Riley and William. Anni's favorite game at Lisa's house was to crawl over to William, pretend to kiss him and then to stick her finger by his mouth so he could lick it. A very strange game but both the little kids seemed to really enjoy it! All 4 kids had an adventure to the neighborhood playground where we played on the swing and the slides and tried to convince Anni not to eat the rocks. We took a little walk around the pond too. On our way toward home, it started to rain. Abby and Anni were quite content with some fast walking with mom pulling the wagon (Abigail was perched on top of Riley's potty), but Riley wasn't interested in the wagon ride. When I offered to carry her home, she readily took me up on the offer. William was in the baby carrier, snug as a bug, so Lisa pulled the wagon and I carried Riley. We made it back to the house without getting too wet. Then we had some super yummy meatballs for lunch (Abby's latest food obsession- and she prefers them in a bowl) and did a little more playing before we left our friends for the day.

It was a busy weekend of playing and the girls really seemed to enjoy themselves! We're so lucky to have such great friends to visit...and who cook lunch for us!
