Play Date with the Luks

By -
Last week, we had a play date with the Luks.
 
Jessica and I cheered together in high school and kind of lost touch afterwards since I graduated a year before her. Fast forward eight or so years...we live about two streets away from each other and are both married with two babies. Her kids are thee cutest, and the girls love to play with them. Since we live near each other, they'll most likely end up going to school together (and maybe they'll cheer together just like we did?!).
 
Thursday after I picked Grace and Charley up from school, we ran home to grab swim suits and headed over to their house for some fun.
 
The girls instantly went for the play kitchen and made us some snacks.
 
 
Then, Charley found the dress up box, and our big little girls turned into princesses right before our eyes.
 
 
Rapunzel even had her pan all ready to go.
 
 
They were quickly over that and wanted to be on to the next thing, so we headed outside to play in Scarlett's princess pool.
 
The girls decided to have a quick tea party first.
 
 
 
 
They splashed around in the pool and then played on the slide. It was so funny to watch them run into each other and giggle like crazy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Charley drove around in their car.
 
 
Then, it was time for a popsicle break.
 
 
 
Cheers!
 
Jessica made some cool moon sand out of flour and baby oil. It felt just like regular sand, and it smelled amazing.
 
 
Then, out of no where, these tiny clouds started dropping rain. It was so weird, but the kiddos loved it and ran to the swing set to play in it quickly before it went away.
 
 
 
 
 
We had so much fun playing with Scarlett and watching little Hudson learning to crawl around.
 
I love that our kids like to play with each other and have so much fun together.
 
Can't wait to have them over to our house to play soon!

Last Week...

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
