Party Weekend

I think summer is rapidly approaching! We have been in the mid-80's and it is wonderful but the next 3 days are supposed to be in the 90's! YIKES - I'm not sure I'm ready for summer yet.  Gabby had a fun weekend full of parties. We had a birthday party for her good friend Aliza on Saturday - at Gabby's favorite place - Dewar's. Gabby wore a party dress and had a good time.  Later that afternoon we went to a BBQ at the Cuper's (a classmate of Gabby's). When we get together, there is a group of 4 kids and they really enjoy playing together. Lilly had a good time as well and the food was delicious. We enjoyed a nice evening out and couldn't have asked for better weather.

Sunday was a recovery day...sort of. We hung close to home but enjoyed a nice walk in the morning, Gabby and Gordon went swimming, Lilly and I did chores and I hosed off the back patio. I'm sure to someone watching it would have been hilarious. I am cleaning off finger paint and chalk and Lilly is writing all over the wet patio with chalk and soaking wet with water and sand - what a perfect way to spend a warm morning. I wanted to get the residual Monty hair off the patio, put down new mats, and move the "small" play center under the shade.

I say "small" because we have been looking for play equipment for the girls for a couple of weeks. We found 2...one small and one big. The big one has 3 swings, a fort, rope climbing net, rock wall and slide. The small one has 2 slides and holes the girls can climb in. We are almost done putting them all together - we just need another strong set of hands to lift up the fort while we connect it to the swings. Any volunteers??? Anyways, we had a wonderful weekend and are excited to head to San Diego next weekend...Zoo here we come!
