Wednesday night Lorelei had her first "nonsleepover." :) Lily came over to visit so her parents could celebrate their anniversary. We got to color and use stickers, watch Sesame Street, eat smiley potatoes and chicken nuggets, and then play with dolls, legos...you name it. Lorelei was SO excited as soon as she saw that Lily was coming over to play...and in the evening no less! She could tell it was exciting stuff. Lily did great since this was the first time with anyone other than her Nana.
Thursday Lorelei and I explored the "castle" part of Mt. Trashmore which we have not played at before. It was nice to have a new place to explore but it is much better for older children since there are soooo many stairs to climb. Lorelei is getting better at the whole stairs thing though. Then we headed to Applebees since we had a children's coupon for a free lunch. We moms thought we should take advantage and chat before Melissa went on her trip to CA. The kids actually did very good for as long as it took to get our food and eat it! I think we are sticking to a little faster paced places to eat from now on though. :)
Today (Friday) it was cold (high of 55 which you mid westerners are probably thinking is warm by now) but very windy so that made it not the best of days for any outdoor activities. We got to have company again and enjoyed some Starbucks (I think I had gone two weeks without my pumpkin spice latte), then a quick trip to Kohls and then Petsmart where the girls could look at the animals. I didn't even know they had animals, so was very glad when Sara mentioned the idea. We saw birds, hamsters, cats and fish.
These girls love each other! :) We are so thankful for our friends!
I should also mention that Brad officially got promoted to lead software engineer! Congratulations honey we are so proud of you!
