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!

...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...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
