Sleep over!

Both girls had sleep overs this weekend! Lily went and stayed the night with Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Jeff, and Charlotte stayed with her Fairy God Mother better known as Aunt Tracy (don't worry Bri we will think of a cool name for you soon!! :-)

The reason for the sleep over was for Chris and I to use this time to finish the backyard for Charlotte's Baptism, and for the girls to have a little fun too. Well, the girls had a great time.... I think Chris and I failed terribly with our plan to get things done. It was tooo inviting to play! Thank God I have a hubby that likes to shop heehee!

We did work in the yard.... for maybe 45 mins or so ( I am so ashamed, can't you tell ;-)! Then we went shopping. We did buy a few things for the yard... that counts right?!?! Chris had cleaned off the grill Saturday morning, so we enjoyed yummy steaks for dinner. Chris is one of those touchy feely grillers but he was good and left it alone and it turned out wonderfully! Then we spent a nice evening in front of the TV! By 9:30 we were ready for bed! We are some party animals!

We could tell that the girls had a wonderful time! Lily can "talk" more to us then Charlotte. Her face would light up every time we asked her something about the day. Almost to say "how did you know that?" It was good that they went to separate houses. That way they each got one-on-one attention. Whenever we are alone either in the house or car w/out the girls it is sooooo quiet. I can't believe that at one time not too long ago we lived in that quiet all the time. When we were driving back home after picking up Charlotte, Lily was in the back seat singing, and Charlotte was cooing away. I looked over at Chris and told him that this was more like it.

Thanks to the two coolest Aunties (and helpers!) two little girls could ever ask for. Chris and I really thank you as well!! :-)

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

PS: I have some really nice pictures that Aunt Lizzie took on Thursday. I will post them tomorrow!

Good for you for doing that! (Playing and all) It is good for you both and makes you appreciate the singing in the backseat that much more :). Unfortunately, by the time you have 4, it gets a LOT harder to find anyone who wants to keep 'em overnight. :)
