The last few days have been filled with friends for all four of us. Layla Ruth spent a few hours here and there hanging out at our house. Watching them run towards each other when meeting reminds me of a teenage-like greeting between two girls who haven't seen each other in three months. There are hugs and kisses and squeals of excitement, then off they go for princess dress up.
Arizona experienced a crazy weather day where the temperature dropped, the clouds rolled in, and the rain came through. OK, it wasn't really rain. Just a few light sprinkles and not even enough to be considered a drizzle. None the less it was cause enough for excitement including breaking out the rain gear. Here are two of the best friends playing together like friends do.
Once the rain stopped all that remained was a long stream of run-off water, which the twins delighted in by playing and splashing.
Then after the puddles dried up so much they weren't even enough to splash they finally calmed down enough to take a few cuddly pictures of the friends together.
I took this next pictures because I thought it would be fun to play the game, "what's on Layla's bed?"
From left to right you'll see: Sock Monkey stuffed animal from GAM, soft blankie, stuffed animal cat, books, pillow, Nunu, and cup of water. Layla isn't OCD about having each thing in its exact place, but in general this is a regular night's supply of bed-time items on her bed.
Kendra invited some new friends, Brian and Suzanna, along with their son, Colton. He knew our twins from play dates, but had no idea how to handle Layla in her natural environment at the casa de Webb. She was more than welcoming. :)
Dinner included spaghetti and meat sauce on our back patio. All three amigos sat at the designated "kids table", which Kendra bought at the good will store for 9 bucks. Not a bad find, eh?
Then we gave Colton an initiation round of "Back and Forth". I hooked up the digital camera to the 60 inch big screen and they ran back and forth for a good 20 minute workout.
After the excitement died down and everyone stopped screaming and laughing Easton and Layla showed Colton how we pretend at the Webb house. Easton dressed up in the astronaut suit, Layla donned the Tangled dress, and Colton gladly joined in with the fireman outfit.
I did some mountain bike riding with my friend and Kendra did some yard work and shopping with her friend.
The thing I notice the most is how we are all flexible in our schedules to accommodate each other's friend time. Seems to be working out well for all 4 of us and I'm really happy to see Kendra and I successfully passed along the friendly gene to the twins.
See you soon!
