Fun Times, Fun Friends

Our sweet friends came down for a visit this week to hang out during Spring Break. Emma and Ben have known each other since they were two and have been best buds ever since. In fact Emma tells me at least once a week that she wants to move back to the Dallas area because that's where Ben is. No matter that her Granny and cousins are here, she wants to live by Ben!

Shana and I have become great friends as well. Even though she didn't like me too much at first. Something about me screaming at Emma as she was running across a field from me towards a street while I was pregnant (of course, I'm always pregnant) and since I was sicker than a dog and generally not a very happy pregnant person, quite bitchy in fact, her first impression of me was not all that great. But she soon came to realize that she was right I really am quite awesome and we've been good friends ever since!

We had a very low-key, relaxing time hanging out. The kids all played so well together. Maddie and Kathryn took to each other very well and spent endless hours jumping on the trampoline. The four of them had a blast playing Super Smash Brothers Melee (or something like that) on the Wii. In fact they really could have just stayed in their PJs for three days and been content to do nothing but jump and play video games while Shana and I talked and talked and watched reality TV. But we had to take them to a few places.

We did the dinosaur dig and museum at the mall. We went and saw Horton Hears a Who and had IHOP for dinner that night so they could get the "special" pancakes. And we went to Itz, which is basically Chuck E. Cheese on steroids, minus the mouse. Oh and the car wash. We drove through the car wash. Don't let anyone tell you that I do not know how to show my guests a good time!

We had a great time and miss them already!! We'll see you soon guys!
