Playdate

Kate had Mary Townes and Mac over today to see the new house. Graham was supposed to come as well, but at the last minute they couldn't make it. Val, Erica and I had fun catching up while the kids played. They seemed to have a pretty good time together. I think for the first time ever, Kate was actually the kid with the most hair... barely.

We ordered pizza, so of course Kate was very happy about that. Mary Townes is a pizza girl as well. We'll have to do it again soon if everyone is willing to make the trek.

Sleepover

We picked Aniyah up this afternoon and she is spending the night with us tonight. This is Kate's first time to host a sleepover.

We had pizza and ice cream for dinner as a special treat. Kate ate more pizza than Aniyah. She's a little chunk. We had fun, but Matt and I are both exhausted tonight! Six year olds require more attention/interaction than toddlers. Aniyah wanted us to play ball for several hours straight. I think they fed them sugar or something at camp today. She had lots of energy to spare (if she can make Matt tired, that says a lot).

Too Hot Outside

We stayed inside with the AC today. It was way too hot outside for us! Kate had fun playing. She didn't even ask to turn on "Bob" (Veggie Tales) once. She's in a climbing phase right now. If she can climb it, she will. Even innocuous things such as rocking toys become dangerous. She insists on getting on her rocking worm and standing up with no hands. She also likes to climb up on the back of the chaise lounge and stand. She's about to get a crash course in physics if she's not more careful (yes Courtney, if you are reading this, pun was intended).

Jump Zone

Kate went to her friend Graham's second birthday party at the Jump Zone yesterday. She had a lot of fun (plus she got pizza and cake...she was very happy about that). She and Mary Townes played in the toddler area. Kate's favorite thing was stacking the big squishy blocks. I was worn out from chasing her all over place!

More (very hot) Deck Time

We spent a little while hanging out on the deck after naptime this afternoon. Not for very long though-- it was way too hot and humid. Kate enjoyed herself while it lasted. She was not very happy to come back inside the house (as you can tell from the last picture). She gets to have pizza for dinner tonight, so I'm sure her mood will improve...
