Busy Sunday and Fun Monday

Our weekend was very eventful and fun! Sure beats the sitting around I usually do. Yesterday afternoon Lilly had a Halloween party at Gymboree (the gym where she takes classes). We were meeting Jordan and his mom there for a good time. The kids were to wear their costumes so when Lilly woke up from her nap she got all ready...
Fitting into the car seat with her poofy princess dress was interesting! She was very excited for her party.

There were so many fun things to do. Lilly took a seat in this green spider.

They played for a while and then they made a craft. It was a Halloween place mat. Both Daddy and I helped her glue Halloween decorations onto her mat.

Daddy got this shot of Lilly flipping over a bar. She has his gymnast abilities for sure. A little lady in a dress flipping upside down on a bar...

The children were also given a cookie or cupcake and juice. This was the day that I decided that we are going to take simple sugar out of Lilly's diet. She just cannot handle it at all. Within 5 minutes she loses all self-control and that's not fair to Lilly. It must not feel very good either so this was her last iced cookie and juice box for a while.
After a very long day (Diabetes walk and Halloween party) Lilly was very excited for her friend Savannah to come spend the night all the way from Minnesota! Krissy, Michael, and Savannah were ending a 4 day stay in NJ visiting family and chose to spend their final night with us. We were very excited since Krissy and I are so close (we talk daily but it's much better to spend time in person!). They arrived around 7:30p.m. so the girls had about an hour to play before heading to bed. They are so cute together!

Lilly woke up earlier than usual asking where Savannah was. The girls watched Barney and ate some cheerios in their pajamas.

Once everyone was dressed and ready Krissy, myself, and the girls headed up to Bret Harte (our old school) to visit teachers and the secretary. I was reluctant to go since I haven't seen anyone from school since cutting my hair, darkening it, and getting pregnant! I wasn't feeling so pretty but I went and am glad that I did. We saw so many friends and they were able to see the girls which was nice. We interrupted everyone teaching (Daddy - would you have allowed that in your school?) and had a good time. The girls were adorable together.

By the time we got home we only had a few minutes before heading to the airport. The girls enjoyed a sucker together.
Our visit came to an end so soon but I'm so very grateful to have had the time together.
