Smiles all around

Today has been a wonderful day and it's only 3:oo. We haven't even gone to swim class yet! We invited some friends over today to play. Since we all have 2 kids now, we create quite the crowd. It's always a good time and today was no different.

We don't have any pictures of the moms. I guess the kids are just cuter. But for those of you who don't know I met Shelly and Lindsay at the mom's group through Goshen Hospital when our oldest kids were babies. Lindsay has Addie who turns 2 on Monday and Reese who is 6 wks old. Shelly has James who is 2 and Lauren who is 5 months old. So here we are 2 yrs later getting the biggest kick out of our kids who love playing together. When I went to group for the first time I had no idea I would walk away with the friendships that I did. Life is great!

The oldest kids had a great time running around in the yard playing with dirt, chalk and each other. There were a few tears shed, but that is to be expected. There is nothing more fun on a warm day then water. They had fun with the watering can again and again poor Abbey was watered. After a while Morgan asked for the sprinkler. Why not? They were already plenty wet from watering the chairs, chalk, Abbey and each other.

The sprinkler was a big hit. At one point I asked Morgan if the water was cold. She looked at me and said "Yes - you have to turn on the hot." James had to leave early so he missed out on the sprinkler. We will have to pull it out earlier next time.
