Fun weekend
We had lots of fun this past weekend when our friends came up from Normal for a visit. Annika just turned 5 and Frankie just turned 2. Their mom, Moreena, just turned...just joking Moreena! Anyway, tons of fun was had by all and the Moms and Dad (Scott) were exhausted after our 24 hours together were up. The girls played dress-up, got out every toy in the toyroom, stayed up waaaayyy too late, played at the YMCA, played in the leaves, and then got out every toy in the toyroom again. They were very, very, very busy little people!
Here is Miss Riley in her get up Friday night. Nothing like putting everything on at once! And here is Annika the Princess...
Annika wore this outfit most of Friday night and I kept thinking it was Riley. Riley would wear this pink dress alllll the time (when it used to fit) and with the similar hair color, they just look so much alike. See for yourself...
O.k., so this picture doesn't show it quite well, but Shelby, Riley, Annika, and Frankie do all look alike. A few summers ago, Moreena and I were brave (crazy?) enough to pack up the girls in our van and head to a liver disease family picnic in Green Bay. This trip included an amusement park and an overnight stay. We survived and had fun. I (Moreena was in the bathroom) was sitting with all 4 girls in a McDonald's during a snack/potty break and a man commented on how pretty all my girls were. I just thanked him rather than correcting him that I was mother to only 2 of the girls, but Moreena and I did talk later that, with how the girls' birthdates are, one mother could have given birth to all four girls! Imagine that!!! How exhausting!!!
Here is 2-year-old Fabulous Frankie! She had a great time in the leaves. What a doll! She is so cuddly and, believe it or not, the last little girl to fall asleep Friday night.
See that little bit of blue in the leaf pile? Yup, that's Scott! He showed the girls how he falls into the leaves and then they attacked him. Many, many giggles were involved. Here's the video. (Thanks Moreena!) Much, much fun was had by all and we look forward to getting together with them very soon.

Thank you for the great time! You know we were just 30 seconds out of your driveway when Annika moaned, "I miss Riley and Shelby!" And now Frankie has been telling me that she wants to go find her friend, Shelby, and sets off about the house like she's just going to find her somewhere around here. I don't know. Maybe in a magic closet or something.
Anyway...I just turned 35 and proud of it! So no worries about letting the cat out of the bag...
