Fun with friends

Yesterday morning we met up with Mary and Tyler and Rachel, Karis, Jack and cute baby Samuel. We went to the Fiesta Mall play center. It is huge, not as busy and quite clean, surprisingly!
When we were walking into the mall we walked past an outside mini kid play area. It was overcast and windy so I let the kids play outside for a little bit. They were so happy to be playing outside, we have been locked in all summer with this heat. Can't wait for fall!
The kids had a great time running around like animals. When the play center bored us we walked around and let the kids play on the taken cars, trucks and other toys. They had a ton of them. Then we strolled through the Disney store, where the kids all behaved really well. Then we all had lunch together. It was a great morning for kids and mommies.

Reunited

One of Sammie's BFF's Maura was gone most of the summer and is home now. The girls have been having so much together and really missed each other. So sweet. Maura came over yesterday morning for a playdate and they had a blast. Here is just some of what went on...


Sammie taught Maura how to play the DS!

A party is not a party without lip gloss!

Cute girls.

School

Today Sammie had her first day of preschool. It was a shortened day that parents go to. It was fun. She decorated her placemat, played with toys, had storytime, sang songs, and played on the playground. We can't wait for Monday...the first real day.
I can't believe at this time next year I will have to send her to Kindergarten...I'll probably cry and she'll say "see ya!"

Decorating her placemat.

Playing a game at storytime.

Puzzles.

Ready for school!!!

Friends

Today we had a nice surprise. Christina, Camille and Diego came over for a visit. Sammie loves playing Camille and vice versa, I think because they both have little brothers. They were both excited to have someone to play school with:) Cole took a while to warm up but by the end of the visit was running around laughing and playing hide and seek. It's so fun to watch our kids grow up. I remember when Camille and Diego were Sammie and Cole's age....crazy.
Thanks for coming over Avilas-we loved seeing you.
