The Rest of Our Week

Wednesday, second day of school!

.................
Thursday we resumed our playgroup for the fall. It has changed some since last year. Lori and Hannah moved, Ashley and Heather are out since Ashley is in school full time and Meg, Travis and Allison are not going to be consistent participants. So it was just going to be us, Patti & Emily and Courtney, Elise & Trent which was fine by me since I really wanted to keep playgroup going to make sure we saw Patti and Emily regularly, since Emily is the only one attending a different preschool. But Patti suggested we invite Lily's school friends Matthew, Carys and Makayla to join us. I honestly didn't think they would since they also have school MWF, dance on Tuesdays and soccer. But they were both excited to join our little group! Lily is stoked since this means she gets to see Carys 5 days a week and I was excited since it brought all my favorite friends together. In the past I always had groups of friends -- friends from college, friends from work, etc that didn't all know each other. It still makes it hard to visit everyone when we go back to CA. So I am happy that all my friends from different groups here are mixing together. It is perfect!

This Thursday we all met at Matthew & Carys' neighborhood pool. It was a cooler day and even though the radar showed that the clouds were leaving the area, it rained on us most the time we were there! But we were in a pool anyway, so who cares! The kids loved it.

Thursday night Rhiannon, Jennifer and I went out for our monthly night out which was fun as always!

Friday before school.

After school we met Emily and Patti at the park. It was a gorgeous day. Mid 70s and perfect, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to play outside, especially since it had been so hot the last month!

Saturday evening we all went to Donna, Todd & Cole's house with Patti, Bryan & Emily for dinner and to watch the LSU game. Lily, Chip and I were the only ones not wearing our purple and gold. But as long as they are not playing USC, it is all good. When dinner was ready, Emily came downstairs wearing these awesome goggles and ate her whole meal with them on. It was so cute!

It was a fun and busy week! But today Lily and I are having a very lazy Sunday. We already watched Princess and the Frog and now we are spending the rest of the morning in the playroom until nap time.
