Playdates...

Saturday was full of fun and playdates! We woke up early, got dressed and headed over to Jackson and Atticus' house! Radley was P-U-M-P-E-D! I mean he was just SOOOOO excited! 

It took all of 15 minutes to drive to his house but at about minute 4 Radley kept saying, "why it taking so long Mommy?" Over. and Over. 

Finally we arrived and were welcome to a fabulous spread made by Jenna and Jason, parents of young babes, and had a ball! These two play really well together (as well as any 3-4 year olds, I guess) and Radley has fun doing all things "man" since he is typically surrounded by friends of the female persuasion. 

Little Atticus was just as content as could be. He is 5 months old and almost as long as Emmy. :)

And she was ready to romp and stomp with the boys, too. I should have known this would happen and dressed her in less girly clothes. She may be my artistic child...she just loves to "draw" and just gets so happy when she makes a mark. 

She insisted on getting in the pool with the boys and since I didn't pack her bathing suit, she was allowed (just this ONCE) to go skinny dipping with the guys. 

;)

The Kurten's have the best back yard! They have homemade blocks, outdoor toys, and a great play set that Jason keeps adding to; he even added a rock wall to the side that the boys loved. For the last half hour of play time they just climbed up and down it with buckets full of dirt to pour down the slide. 

This big kid had fun, too. He is trying to rope a stump...I think in about 100 more attempts he would have succeeded. 

We had so much, Kurten family! Next time we will host (and Jenna, maybe we can escape to some place else)! :)

The kids were out cold about 3 minutes into the car ride home and slept hard until it was time to head to Lake Bryan with the Munsons. This is our car for a family of four for 3 hours at the lake. 

Ridiculous. 

If this was even a small glimpse of how much fun the kids will have at the beach, then I am so ready to go! Lake Bryan actually resembles much of the Gulf with its brown water and sandy shores... but we love it. Josh and I even commented on how we should have gone to the Lake more in college. 

Seriously cheap, fun, entertainment! 

And now it's even better because we have kids that will get our drinks... 

Radley said that this was "my beer, Mommy. For when I get old like Daddy." I really do remember getting the Budweiser for my parents and their friends/relatives and taking sips along the way. (No, Radley didn't take a sip before people start calling CPS on us). 

Caro even helped out Uncle Ryan with the silver can. 

And this girl once again thinks she is just hot stuff hanging with the big kids. I just wonder what is going on in that quiet little head of hers. You can see her brain just thinking away and when she decides she is going to talk, we better all watch out. 

The whole crew. 

What a great Saturday from start to finish. 

Friends, family, food and fun... not much more a girl could ask for.
