With Friends

This past week, one of my dear friends from college and her two boys came to stay with us while her hubby was in town working for the week. It was a delight to spend some quality time with her, and K. actually had a really good time having two brothers for the week. You, gentle reader, might remember that we visited them this past fall. K. also learned some tricks from A. when she was younger.

On Wednesday, we met up with another good friend from college (and her former roommate, aka "Roommate,") and her daughters at the Children's Museum. Here's the entire crew, tired at the end of the day and ready for naps. From left to right: E. (6 months), A. (just over 2), E. (turns 2 this month), H. (9 weeks or so), and K. (21 months). Two brothers, two sisters, and my little one.

So A. and her boys were here all week, but I pretty much only got museum pictures. S. and her girls came over Thursday also, and there is no photographic evidence of that either. We did have a great time, though!

K. and E. in the car while A. hurries to leave (too many girls, I guess).
Apparently my daughter is part cat.

Riding on a foam cow. The first time she met that cow, she was just pulling up and not even walking without assistance.

All three of the older kiddos (the ones who can stand independently) playing at the water table.

Brushing the teeth of a dinosaur and learning about good hygiene.
Putting rocks in a wheelbarrow at the museum. She and her two friends (the older ones, not the babies) spent a lot of time playing in this area.

I see yardwork in someone's future...

It's hard to tell from the photo, but K. is staring at some "fsh" (fish) in this photo. She was intrigued and were it not for the lure of lunch, may have stayed there for a while.

We had so much fun with my (and now K's) friends. It was so great to have them over and hope to do it again in the summer!
