Best Friends.

Yesterday, Tuesday.  Bella and I woke up, got dressed, ate some breakfast, and then headed to Hobby Lobby to pick out some fleece to make 3 blankets for a sleepover later in the evening.  She chose a cute pink fleece covered in multi colored polka dots in various sizes, very sweet.  After we checked out, we got in the car, and headed out to Monroe to pick up Allie.  We hung at the Schmitt compound for a brief moment before heading back to our house to make some blankets and have some lunch.  Post lunch, we all got our swimsuits on and left to go get Marty and meet baby Ozzie.  He is sooooo tiny!  You forget just how tiny they are when they are only weeks old.

Liz and I enjoyed a beer and a little conversation before suiting up Marty, and then myself and the 3 amigas  left to head to Pine Lake CC for an afternoon of swimming.  Poor Marty, her Dad is a bit controlling and refuses to let her spend the night anywhere so she couldn't stay and was pretty bummed.  What can you do though?  The girls had a blast at the pool, and then we all went back to our house to play for a bit until Liz came to get Marty.

I ordered a cheese pizza for dinner, and Vince had an impromptu dance session with the girls.  Allie needed it because she was beginning to get a little teary eyed.  When she started to cry a little bit, I asked her if it was because Vince's singing was so bad, and that made her laugh immediately.  She then seemed to forget why she was upset and the rest of the night went smoothly :)  While the girls watched a Strawberry Shortcake movie in a fort in the living room, I cleaned up Bella's room so that Allie would have somewhere to sleep.  Her room always looks like a bomb went off when friends come to play because they want to get every single toy out, and I don't mind because I know they were having a grand ole time.  They had built an entire city using all the pony houses and accessories.  Each residence had furniture, food, animals, you name it, and it was all set up so neatly.  Quite amazing really.

At 10, I got B & A settled in her room, and I set up the little DVD player so they could watch Tangled while they fell asleep.  They made it all of 10 minutes :)  With the girls peacefully snoozing, Vince and I settled on the couch to watch Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix.  Pretty sure I fell asleep in 5 minutes.

All in all, a very lovely Tuesday.
